I'm so lost...
 
Hubby made me sell J.J. this evening. :( She has been biting at my son and he felt it was best for everyone if she just went back to her breeder. My son was just playing on the floor and she came up and snapped at him. My husband said No Way. :rolleyes: So I called the breeder and she said she may have done that because of another home she was in there was a small boy and she thinks he was mean to her. I wish I would of known then I never would of taken her here and put her through this. It was obviously stressing her out. I couldn't do that to her. She was close to us but I think she missed the breeder. When she came to get her she got all excited and ran to them and gave tons of kisses. I know she is going to a good home. I still hurts me though. I haven't cried that hard in a long time. :( I feel so bad but I know deep down that's really what J.J. wanted. Okay....I can stop being a baby now. :cry:

Awww.. I'm so sorry! It will get better..

Sugar's Mom 09-04-2007 02:16 PM
you did what is best for the puppy and for your son. this is one of the reasons i don't sell my puppies to families with small children. you just never know how the puppy is going to react.

BamaFan121s 09-04-2007 02:19 PM
I think that you did what was in the best interest of JJ, as hard as it was. IMO, this was really an unfair situation--the breeder should have been upfront and honest and given you ALL the information regarding poor JJ's past.:(

Anna Banana 09-04-2007 02:22 PM
I am so sorry. JJ is still very loved, and probably much happier where she is now. You will be in my thoughts while you endure this pain for a short while.

xliloliverdiorx 09-04-2007 02:22 PM
aww im so sorry. I truely do hope you feel better soon!!!

yorkiegirl83 09-04-2007 02:36 PM
I'm sorry you gave up JJ. Did you by any chance contact a behaviorist to see if they had any ideas on how to possibly correct the situation?

I know a family in a similar situation who hired a behavorist and only allowed the baby and puppy in the same room together while during supervised training, ect. It has worked out very well for them and the dog does not snip at the baby anymore.

livingdustmops 09-04-2007 02:43 PM
I feel so bad for you but it was the right decision. Your breeder should have told you about her background before you invested your heart in your little girl. Not all but many yorkies do not like children and harm could have come to your child and your yorkie could have been impounded by animal control if she bite a child. Hopefully your breeder will find an experienced home for this little one and explain the situation so no further harm can come to her.

Yorkiekids 09-04-2007 02:55 PM
You did what you felt was best in your heart, and that's all anybody can ask.

Tiggerwit 09-04-2007 02:58 PM
I'm sorry I know how hard that was for you. I too believe the breeder should have told you that piece of information up front, especially knowing you had a young son. Sound like JJ is very comfortable with her so I hope she keeps JJ.

Well I asked her if taking her to training classes and getting her spayed would help and she said an aggressive dog will always be aggressive at heart. I was willing to put as much money as it would of taken to keep her here. I think deep down inside she just wanted her back. I felt trapped. She did refund my money, but money is just money. It can NEVER fix the hole I now have. I've been crying all night.

I'm sorry you are feeling lost. I will say a prayer for you.

Knowledge is power.

And with that know you did what was best for your family and for JJ

You are a good mother to both your son and your puppy. It takes a good heart and courage to do what you did. Maybe consider a larger puppy. Like a golden retriver most are awesome with children. My daughters GR. kids can lay, hang on his tail and crawl all over him and he is so good. Of course with surpervision. Good luck And you have my Blessing.

Thank you so much! You have no idea how comforting it was to read your post. I just miss her so much. She was such a kind hearted dog that I know something just had to make her uncomfortable. One thing is the breeder will let me come see her anytime I want. :)

I would just like to add that it really irritates me to no end that people don't take the responsibility to monitor their children's behavior around pets of any kind. Natuarally if the parents never take the time to instill these values in their children, then the kids will not know how to properly treat and handle the animal. I don't blame the child, or the dog for needing to defend itself--I have to question the parent who never paid attention to what was going on or took the time to teach the child any better.:(

I know what you mean! I'm always right beside him and if I'm not my husband is. That's how I caught her so fast. You just can't leave children and pets unattended. I knew she had went to a bad home once, but never knew it was because of a child. I just blame myself for putting her through this. If I would of known I never would of did this to her. Poor thing. I offered anything to help the situation. I made sure my son didn't ever bother the pets. I was irritated and like I said I feel like the lowest low right now, I might as well be dirt. I would never do anything to hurt an animal, esp. one that I loved so much. I truely think she wanted her back because, yeah it wasn't a good situation here, but she jumped the gun and hurried up to get her here. It kinda made my decision for me. :(

Yeah!! I was going to ask about that.

I'm so sorry you had to rehome her, but you have to put your baby boy first. She is a very sweet little girl. At least you can check on her and make sure she's doing ok. How's Tilly acting? Sounds like the breeder really did want her back, so you know she'll have a good home. I'm sorry your hurting, we fall in love with them so deep and so fast. I wish I could give you a hug!

Thanks Paula! When we took Tilly for a ride earlier she came back searching for her. Now she is on their pillow bed sleeping. I think she will miss her, but she loves the attention so I'm sure it will be easy for Tilly. I had my goodbyes with her before the breeder came then I left I just couldn't see her leave. Hubby said she was all excited to see them and was giving lots of kisses. That made me feel better. The breeders hubby is a truck driver and on our way to the meet-up, every semi we would pass she would get all excited. Like she was looking for him. It just hurts. I know she will be loved and cared for there though. If I get to missing her this weekend I can always go get her for a couple hours. I just don't want to confuse her or make it hard on her by seeing us.

littlewhip 09-04-2007 05:02 PM
Ahh Im sorry hon, But I think you did the right thing, Your child must come first, I hope you feel better soon, Big hugs to you.

Tillys_mom 09-04-2007 05:04 PM
I'm really glad everyone has been so supportive. I was so afraid I would post this and everyone would get upset with me. I already lost my baby, I didn't want to lose friends. Thanks everyone!

yorkiegirl83 09-04-2007 05:04 PM
I don't necessarily agree with what the breeder said about an aggressive dog always being aggressive since I have first hand seen the change in many dogs with terrible aggression when given the proper training.

But I'm sure you did what you think is best for your family and I'm glad that JJ is very happy in her new home.

Oh Hon, you did the right thing for both your son and JJ.. Why should anyone be angry with you, you did what was best for all..JJ will always have a place in her heart for you also..:love: :heart to :hearts-xx

mizzwanned 09-04-2007 06:18 PM
I am so sorry! But you did do the best for her and for your family. I'm sure she will go to a home that has no kids and she will be fine. :)

MrsWiseguy 09-04-2007 06:20 PM
:big_hug: Sometimes the right thing to do is also the hardest. I'm so sorry.

LoveMyJake 09-04-2007 06:33 PM
I wish your breeder had warned you about the puppy's background. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I know it hurts. Maybe you can get another yorkie when your little boy is older.

GG3 09-04-2007 06:42 PM
I am so sorry.

Rae Rae 09-04-2007 07:42 PM
I'm sorry you had to give her back :( Just remember you did the right thing, it seems she was happy when she saw her breeder, and you don\'t want her to live in an environment where she\'s stressed. Just don\'t forget you did everything you could for her, and you\'re a great person to do what\'s best for her, even if it\'s hard for you.
