| Need to explain something........ I am sorry if I offend anyone, I feel so terribly sad about all this as it is. Please dont' send me any hate mail for this..I did what I felt was best for our family. I wound up taking Lilly back. And listen to why. I called the woman and explained what happened. She said "yeah, i was afraid she'd do that..the only time she's been in a house, she was traumatized. I said, what? She had her csection 2 months ago, and the vet gave her too much to put her under (or she was allergic to it) and had a traumatic experience spent a few days in the vet ER, etc...and since then trusts NO other humans but that woman.. SHE never told me this at first. So then she says, well I do have one older couple with a fenced yard and no children who really want to help her out...so off we went. ALso, she tol dme about another female she had that she woul dbe willing to give to me since Lilly didn't work out. I made her promise me that she wa more social, and she assured me she is. Dasiy is a little older, 6, and about 4.5 lbs. She was more social, came to me, etc.... of course she is sooo scared now, but I expect that. She slept in a crate (with the door open) all night in our guest bathroom, had paper out, food, water, etc... no mess in the house! Didn't eat though, but Im sure hse'll come around. need to take her out in a few mins..just soooo cold here this am! Needs to get a rabies shot at the vet today the woman said, so im taking her this afternoon. Like I said, I hope I dont get hate mail for what I did. Im trying. I just want this to all work out!! Daisy is so sweet |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Well...I don't know what to say except that I feel so bad for Lily - I understand you have to do what's best.... but did you not spend time with her before you brought her home ? To me...(and I hope this sounds as nice as I mean to sound) because I don't mean this badly - but taking a 4 year old home should be done only if you really plan to keep her or get her in a better home - it's scary for them to go thru changes and I hope she is going to be ok....Poor baby - it sounds like she isn't in a very good situation |

| There are times when things just don't work out. I personally would never send you "hate mail" over this. I hope Lilly finds peace, love and devotion in her new home and she can bond w/ her new owners. You wanting her to have a happier life is unselfish of you. Situations like this are a learning experience even though painful. I hope your new Yorkie makes herself comfy and loved within her new home.

I Love Thor Donating Member | I am glad that you are happy with your new dog, and it sounds like the one that you brought back had a home lined up already so she won't be abandoned. Hannah |

| Amy, you did nothing wrong! The owner completely misrepresented Lily to you. How could you know that Lily was in such bad shape if you weren't told? Hopefully, someone will be able to help her, but that isn't where you are right now in your life. I say, don't feel bad. Lesson learned. Move on. |

| As hard as it was for you and for Lily it sounds like you made a good call. You didnt have what she needed. And hopefully this other couple will! How is Daisy doing???

Donating YT 14K Club Member | You did absolutely nothing wrong. You did what was best for her and that's the main thing. I hope that your new furbaby adjusts well to her new home. Best of luck!

| Who's to feel badly?? Amy, the only one to feel badly here is the breeder. You picked up on all the things that she didn't tell you. I'm afraid I would not have taken another dog from that same breeder but from the sounds of that woman she probably would not refund your money. I would explain EVERYTHING to the vet when you go in for her rabies shot (or maybe that can wait a few weeks until she gets settled in) and you can bring her in for a good health check now. I am so so sick of these no good breeders!! Amy you have nothing to feel guilty about. By the way Daisy is a darling name.

| that is a sad story for anyone...she really should have told you that up front...it is not your fault...I am sure you are sda bout it too. Things happen, and hopfully everyone will just be understand. I think you taking her back was probably best for er...you were very unselfish in doing so.

| Well, I do hope Lilly's new home works out for her. I'm also glad that you got Daisy. She's old enough that she will be quite settled. I hope she is everything that you want her to be. I do want to say that I'm glad things have worked out for you. Does little Daisy accept a harness and leash? I'm sure everything will be just fine.
