i would take the refund from the pet store and keep her!!!! put the money away in an account and let that be tia's lp fund....hehe....i think everyone has given very very good advice......but the thing that i coudnt forget is who will love tia???? what if you give her back and she doesnt find a home bc she has lp?? or what if the home she ends up in isnt as loving as yours??? just some things you and your hubby should talk about......good luck!
