After the brother and sister deal fell through, I contacted my wonderful breeder back in Canada and told her what happened, and she felt terrible about what transpired. She told me that she had first dibs on a pup that she was going to purchase from Kathy and that I could buy her pup if I wanted to! I could not believe it. She said she knew how much I needed a pup in my life. That was one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me. Finally something was going to work out for me.

I paid for the pup and made arrangements to book another flight to Seattle to pick up my “second” Lacy. Met Kathy and she apologized several times over what happened, and said she wished she had handled things differently. She finally told me what happened to my sister and brother. She gave all her pups chicken feet, and I guess the girl did not chew them and just swallowed them and they punctured her intestines and she ended up dying. My little boy was very sick also. The vet put all of the pups on antibiotics.

She brought the little boy, who was supposed to be mine, to the airport. He still looked sick and was very lethargic. I asked her why she would bring him to the airport, and she said she wanted me to see him. I don't understand why she wanted me to see him, maybe she thought I would still want to buy him? It was very difficult for me to see this little boy who I had fallen in love with through pictures and had thought he was going to be mine. And it was very difficult to walk away and leave him, I felt like I was letting him down by not buying him after all. Very sad.

My little Lacy is a wonderful, sweet pup who is going to have a fabulous life with me. She was worth the three months it took me to get her. I will post a separate message about her. Thank you all for your caring and helping me get through these past few weeks.
