Is this good news? An angel? As you know, we lost our Lexxi (Maltese) just Saturday morning after her struggle with hydrocephalus.... When she was diagnosed, I had called the breeder to inform her and she didn't even know what it was. She said she couldn't help me with the medical bills but would "replace" her when the time came (as if there is a replacement). Anyway, I continued to think "no, I wouldn't want another one from her" and I still feel that way. However, I did send an email to her informing her of what has happened - do you think she's repsonded? No. I guess I just want her to say "OMG I'm so sorry" and be understanding, at the very least. The good news........ So I was talking to a breeder friend of mine and told her what happened. She in turn was talking to her good friend (breeder) about my story. She says to me "Sandy wants you to have her little maltese girl. She is 1 yrs old and 3 lbs. She wanted to keep her for breeding but she didn't get big enough." I told my friend it was too soon....but go ahead and send me pics and the price she is asking and I'll think on it. She said "no. She wants to GIVE her to you! She just wants her to have the best home possible, and I assured her, you were the one!" At first I thought it was way too soon and I have a house full already...but then I thought "maybe this means she was meant to come to me?" Who does that? Just out of the goodness of thier heart says "I'm sorry for your loss. Here, I want you to have and care for my baby to help you ease the pain." I have pictures of her...she is a doll and I feel like I can't say no! Like she is supposed to be with us! What do you all think? Part of me feels guilty even considering another baby already, but I almost think she is this gift, this angel?? |
First let me say...I'm sorry you lost your little girl...I've been there and I know that pain all too well. We all deal with grief in our own way and you are the only one who knows your heart so you should do what feels right for you. My husband has always felt I got the boyz way too soon after we lost Boog and if he had his way I'd be finding a new home for them. But...like I said...everyone deals with grief in their own way and at the time I did what I felt was right for me. Good luck in your decision...I'd love to see her picture... |
Sometimes things happen for a reason, I think its quite possible this is a sign. Lexxi may very well know how much pain your in and has her little paw in helping you overcome your pain of losing her by sending this precious baby. Only you know if your ready for this, but I know if you do give her a home in your house she will be one lucky girl!!! |
When we lost our Sheltie, my hubby didn't want another. I finally talked him into it and you should see his face light up now!!! They didn't take the place of the other, they just opened up a whole new LOVE window! Like my2boyz says, it's a decision only you can make. Keep us posted! |

Even though your heart is hurting, I feel a lot excitement underneath the pain. |
For real ?? That's so awesome of her and it sounds like she really needs a good home ...I have a feeling you really want to do this - look at it as a TRIBUTE to Lexxie....she's always going to be in your heart no matter what...good luck in deciding and I'd love to see pictures of her |
I am first in line to say: "Everything in life happens for a reason" We may not understand today or even tomorrow, but one day it will all make sense. Follow your heart, which Lexxi has her permanent spot there and always will, but the space for LOVE is ENDLESS and can be filled with LOTS of it ;) Best of Luck. PICTURES * PICTURES * PICTURES * PICTURES :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: |
A free puppy! What are you waiting on get her!! |
Very well said Nicole and all so very true. I'm sorry for you loss I didn't see the post. I say go with your heart! Let's see the picture. |
I waited less than a week after my Zorro died years ago as I had to have a yorkie in my life. I knew he would want it that way. I say it's meant to be. |
I'm so sorry for your loss. As in an earlier post. Things happen for a reason. I would go ahead and get her. You will not be replacing the baby you lost, just adding another one to love. I really don't think that you will regret getting her but, I'm afraid that you will regret it if you don't. Please keep us informed of your decision and good luck. |
To be honest, I think Lexxi is sending the "angel" baby to you. Most people would NOT just give away an expensive dog. I'd take her and love her like Lexxi would want you to. :) |
You guys are all seeing what I see! I have tears right now just reading all the confirmation that this is indeed a gift from Lexxi! She must have had something to do with this - people just don't come out of the blue and offer you something so precious as this, and want to just hand her to me?? I will post pictures as soon as I can think straight about copying them from the email and posting them here! She is very cute, I warn! |
I only just found your thread about Lexxi for the first time today, and your poem to her. Nearly broke my heart. I don't believe in co-incidences. This little Maltese was meant to happen, to give solace to you in a time of such terrible sadness and stress (with what you are going through with Gemma as well....hope she is doing better BTW). So, I am sending hugs to you.... go grab this little snowball, hug her tight.... she is the Angel that Lexxi sent you.:littleang |
This is absolutely a gift from Lexxi! I am so happy for you, because I think that Lexxi saw the pain that you were struggling to endure, and she provided you with this new outlet to give out the love that you will forever feel for Lexxi. I can't wait for pictures, you lucky woman! |
