| I feel so guilty. We just got Angel on Saturday, and I had to give her back today. I took her to the vet b/c she sounded like she had a hacking cough. Not only did the vet say that she had a slight upper respiratory infection, she also has heart arythmia (heart skips a beat). I was so upset b/c I can not afford (financially and emotionally) to take care of a sick dog for the rest of her life. Even though people "feel" for me and tell me I did the right thing for "me" I still feel like I abandoned her. If anyone feels like I did the wrong thing, please, I'm begging you, I don't want to hear about it...I'm upset enough. I'm not writing this to get responses, just want to let you all know how upset I am, how my day went today, and explain why I took Angel off my avatar since some of you would probably notice. Thanks for understanding.

| Angel I am very sorry to hear this news..you did nothing wrong. The person who bears the blame is the breeders vet for missing these health problems at the time of the health check. Best wishes |

| Here is a hug especially for you. I understand exactly what you mean. You don't need to say anything more and you don't need to feel guilty. I couldn't do it, either, at this point. I still haven't gotten over Muffin and you just have so much you can balance emotionally. Take good care of yourself.

| I am so sorry. That is a very hard thing to do. The important thing is that you know you did the right thing. If for whatever reason you can not at this time take on that responsibility, you know it was the right thing to do. You are a very big and loving person for being able to make this decision...I don't know of many people who could do that out of love. |

| I'm very sorry you have had to go through this! Just always remember, your baby is better off, she will be able to be healthy puppy, and in turn happy puppy. And that's most important right? I hope you do not blame yourself, and once again, I am so sorry!!

| I am so sorry you had to go through this. The breeder should have all of her puppies she plans to sell THOROUGHLY checked out so things like this don't happen. of course most people fall in love the moment they see a yorkie puppy. I just recently had a vet let me down with a health check on a litter. I have changed vets . But it was not as serious as yours was. But I think you did the right thing. Again I'm so sorry. |
