Bad breeder experience in so cal

[DaniMarie]

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!


I cannot believe things like this happen. I am so very sorry for both you and your poor Mom!!!

I am so glad you are both alright and so is Lulu.

That's horrible for your mom and you - and Lulu -

Some breeders are very good at playing dumb -- this isn't her first rodeo and she knows just what she's doing since your poor puppy was infected

there are probably others in her care or sold that are too

I hope you do go after her - these people are profiting off the backs of dogs and not taking care of them - it's their job to ensure they're happy and healthy

ALL THE BEST ! I hope you all recover

ps -
I'm sorry for your loss of Pierre and hope Lulu gets well soon and becomes the pet you need in your life. This can be hard to treat but there is lots of info here on that illness and you can do it. Poor thing - she must feel so terrible- I've heard it takes quite the toll on their bodies

all the best

I am sorry for your loss of Pierre! I hope that your Mom & LuLu recovers soon! I am happy that you are keeping LuLu because who knows what would have happened if you returned her.

Really?????? Wow!!! I feel like such a fool! I am definitely going to go after her. I feel so sad for little Lu Lu. I couldn't believe how she was last night... She was playful and was roaming around the house on her own. I think she is already starting to feel better!!!

Thank you for all of your support on here!!! You are all truly amazing!! And Mary--- love ya big!!!!!! ))

Well--- I wrote this woman an e-mail telling her what I expect. She wrote me a txt this morning asking how my mom and Lulu were doing. I said thank you for asking and told her that I was extremely upset and would like to write her a letter. See what I wrote below and let me know your thoughts. Hopefully she complies or I will have to get ugly. (and side note so there is no confusion-- ____ named her Mimi and I renamed her Lulu-- funny how she didnt even know her own name).

Good Morning ____,

I appreciate your apologies and your concern in this whole matter but it does not change what has happened. On Thursday May 13th I purchased Mimi from you for $500. I was away all weekend and got home on Sunday the 16th. By Tuesday the 18th my mom was showing symptoms of sickness. By Thursday the 20th, my mom was in the emergency room and submitted to the ICU. My mom almost died on the 20th. They almost had to go in for emergency surgery as her pulse plummeted quickly and her organs were shutting down. She spent 6 days in the ICU. This has been a HORRIBLE experience. She is home and thank goodness recovering but this will leave a lasting mark on her. One thing that the infectious disease doctor asked was if we had any new animals. And yes there you go. Once tests were done Mimi came back with Giardia. So it is obvious that when Mimi left your home that she had it. I know you did not do this on purpose and did not know but you sold me a sick dog which in turn almost killed my mom. You put my entire family at risk. And it is obvious that Mimi never even saw a vet as you did all of the shots yourself. This could have been prevented.

When this first happened I was trying to figure out what I should do. Should I bring her back.. get my money back etc etc? I do believe that Mimi was not given the care that she should have. As I told you, she is skin and bone. You can feel her ribs and her spine. And she acts like a scared chiwawa. I have decided that I am going to keep her and give her a good home and the treatment that she deserves. Also as a side note, the vet said that she is not a full breed Yorkie.

So this is what I am going to offer to you. Like I said, I am going to keep Mimi and give her a good home. But I expect to be fully reimbursed the $500 along with the recent vet bills. I will attach both invoices so far from the vet. Right now we are at $167.00 and I take her back in a week in a half which will be an additional $25.00 check up fee. I feel that this is COMPLETELY fair as I cannot imagine what my mom’s hospital bills will be. After I get reimbursed from you, I take full responsibility for Mimi.

So that totals up to $692. I hope that you can comply with this. I feel as though I am being completely fair and reasonable considering everything that has happened since I left your home with Mimi.

Please let me know how you would like to move forward with this.

Thank you.
