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 :)

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

Did you take the other little one home with you ?

Yes I did bring her home...she's scared, but doing good. I tried posting a pic..but it was too large, and Im on my way to take my kids to the dr so I'll have to post it later.

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.

Thank you so much.I do hope Lilly can find happiness and overcome her fears with a gentle owner.

I agree...and would love to see pictures of Daisy - if you need help sizing the pic - just pm me and I can do it and email it back to you - :)

Thank you :) I have some sweet yt'er doing it now for me! Appreciate it though! I probably wont be able to post it until lunchtime though..heading out the door!

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.

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???

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! :D

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. :)

I feel sorry for Lilly. I hope the older couple with a fenced yard and no children,
understand Lilly's issues. She is going to need a lot of one on one time, and tons of TLC. For this person to tell you she was afraid she'd do that..the only time she's been in a house, she was traumatized! What the ------ was she thinking! :eek:
She should have offered you Daisy first.Poor Lilly was traumatized again, and your family as well. We can only hpoe Lilly will be OK, and keep her in our Thoughts & Prayers.
It sounds like Daisy will be a much better match for you and your family. I wish you many happy years, and lots of Yorkie Kisses with her. :)
Good Luck!

(oh yea, I don't do hate mail) :D

That must have been such a difficult decision for you to make...I'm sorry you were put in that position. Good luck with Daisy :) She sounds like a sweetie!

There are two sides in situation . I will not blame neither one .

I have just caught up with 2 days worth of posts. This was a very sad story. I hope Lily gets the love and affection she deserves from the other couple and that things work out with Daisy. Hope to see pic's of her soon.

How could anyone hate you for wanting what was best for everyone? The woman was not honest with you and you probably wouldn't have taken her in the first place if she was. I'm so glad you ended up getting another one. I'm sure she will adjust to your family and be very happy. How come this woman is getting rid of all of her dogs? I'm sure Lilly will be happier in a home with no children, that would have just added to her stress. Everything worked out ok for all....that's the important thing.

Its so easy to blame just one side . Honesty go both way . Very glad that Lilly found someone else .

i dont hate you and would never send anyone hate mail.
you did what you thought was right just hope lilly finds peace in her new home, and that daisy is the one for you.

pics please

I hope Lilly finds a good home.

Is there any way (down the road) that you could get an update on Lilly? I am really interested if she settled down to the new owners.
If the connection was not there ....it was not there. you can not force a connection. good gully, I am not in any position to pass judgment on you for giving her up. ... I went thru several husbands before i found one who would treat me 1/2 way decent!

I got a female yorkie that didnt know anything but a cage, no run nothing. She is still scared of me when i first try to get her out of the cage. after that she isa alright it took alot of time for this to happen. no one is here but my hubby and 10 yr old grandson. she loves it now.

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

You did what is best for you and for Lily. The breeder wasn't up front with you. I just hope the breeder finds the best home for Lily. Also I hope that things work out for Daisy and your family. I like that name by the way. Good luck.

You should not blame yourself. I hope Lilly will be happy with her new adopted family and for Daisy I would love to see pics of her, Congratulations!
