Thanks! I really want to feel like I did the right thing, but I don't. maybe time will make it easier..

i think it's disappointment and sadness b/c you believe you could have given her a better life (which may very well be true) ... totally understandable ... but you're right, time will help and also focusing on what's coming down the pike for you ... now you've had some practice and you have the supplies you need for your new furbaby!!

please let us know when you get him/her!! i'm sure it will be soon!! we love to see pictures!!

hang in there!!

Yes, i read your update... Did you not say that you offered to buy Molly from her and she said she would get back to you? I have to say that if i was that lady i would have been a bit put off by you offering to purchase her dog because you did not approve of their attitude. I don't want to sound rude but think about how you would feel if the situation was reversed.

I feel you did the right thing. It was very good of you, to give her such good care while she was with you.

I know a friend that was in a car accident recently. Had her little dog with her. The dog got loose and thru all the accident commotion, ran away. The next day while my friend was out searching for her again, she visited two vets offices. On her way out, a woman was on her way in.... with my friends dog. Come to find out, this woman had no intention of finding the owner. Had taken off the dogs collar and tags. Told my friend she did not have these on her. Very odd! I am so glad, my friend was at the right place at the right time, otherwise she may never have had her dog returned to her.

So, you did the right and honest thing to continue doing everything to find her owner. And you took great care of her, until the owner came forward.

You will have the perfect little dog, soon.

There are ALOT of good breeders in the Cincinnati area. And I know there are several great rescues also.

I think this is a reminder to all of us, it is best to have our "babies" micro chipped. My little yorkie was micro chipped when I bought her. I plan to have our Pomeranian puppy micro chipped when we take him in to have him neutered soon. This will be helpful, in the event my little ones ever get lost. Praying it never happens. But we never know when or if it could happen.

I dont feel like she was being rude by offering to buy the dog, it just shows that she feel in love with Molly; And they should be flattered that someone took such great care of her while she was "lost".

I decided it's not worth replying to.

I dont think she was rude because she feel in love with the dog she had been caring for. I dont think it was rude to offer to buy the dog either; what would have been rude would have been not giving the dog to its rightful owner. I dont think she should beat herself up about the situation, she did the right thing.

LOL...and I posted twice...duh...dumb moment for me...haha.

lol!:)

I thought you said it better than I could anyway. ;)

This is so true! I know that in less than a year I have fallen deeply and madly in love with my Kaji boy. Life just wouldn't be the same without him. If he ever went missing and someone found him and cared for him, yet returned me to him I would be eternally grateful. I think we all fall in love with our little ones so quickly.
It's frustrating to see when a dog is being kept even though someone is looking for them. Unfortunately for me, I know people who have and I just want to rip my hair out just thinking about it.

LOL! You ever heard the saying great minds think alike? lol :D

Nasdag Diva,

you should never feel bad for the doing the right thing. You loved and cared for Molly/Lil Mommy and she is now with her previous owners. I am saddened to hear that she was not as excited to see them as we all think she should have been but we do not know the situation.

It certainly sounds as though you have a lot of compassion and love to give to a pet and if you decide that you are ready for another, best of luck in your search. When you decide on one, he/she will be very lucky to have you for a mommy. Hugs.

From what you wrote, I feel like Molly would have been better with you

If that is the right owners, I think you did the right thing, God will pay you back you will see;) He sees your heart and intention/motivations; when you get your little yorkie please, please come and post pictures, we will be soooo delight :p, big hugs to you hon:animal-pa
