Want To Buy Codie Back? I Don't Think So!!
 

Ever since I bought Codie, Ivan (person I bought him from) has regretted selling him to me. Even the day I bought and paid for Codie, Ivan was unsure of whether to sell him or not. Anyway, Ivan has offered to buy Codie back several times and let me pick ANY Maltese (male or female) that I want. But I always say NO WAY because I love my baby. He wanted to breed Codie.

Well I had Codie neutered a while ago but I never mentioned it to Ivan. So he called me last night and again offered to buy him back. I paid $1,000 for Codie and Ivan offered me $3,000, plus ANY dog (male or female). I said (as usual) no and then I told him that I had Codie neutered. He sounded a little upset! :D Oh well, too bad! Codie is my family (my child) and I never had ANY intention whatsoever of selling my babies or breeding them. I even told him that I had Katie spayed too. I just hope this hasn't ruined my relationship with Ivan because I do want to purchase another Yorkie from him in the future (if I do not find one in a rescue or shelter that I like).

Would you ever sell your baby back for more money? It's unthinkable to me! The money is NOT WORTH the love my Codie (and Katie) share with me.

No amount of money would entice me to sell my furbabies to anyone!

Heeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllll no. :D

Good for you for stickin with your kiddo.

Even as money motivated as I am I would have to
say NO WAY!! My babies are priceless to me and
as they say you can't buy love.

I would take that as a huge compliment and THEN tell him ...Cody is in the BEST home he could be in with someone who loves him more than anything and that was the whole POINT of him selling Cody - and you choosing him.

He should be happy how much you love him and what a great home he has -

I'm kind of glad you told him you had Cody neutered - you never know what someone may do these days and I wouldn't put it past some people to try to steal him back ...not in this case - but he sure sounded like he regretted his decision to sell him - you have a VERY special little boy ! I would think this shouldn't jeopardize your relationship - once Cody became yours the decision to nueter him was all yours - not the sellers unless it was in a contract - It sounds like he sold too quick or another stud didn't work out for him - but you have a beautiful boy and he's ALL yours no matter how much money is offered - this kind of love isn't for sale !

wow thats crap ... what does he think this is .. some kind of toy u can give back...
hes nuts!

First of all, if he was so unsure, why did he sell him in the first place?? Second of all, I wouldn't sell back either of mine for any price! I can't imagine anyone doing that. We all know how fast that bond is made.

I know! If he was unsure, why did he sell him in the first place? Don't get me wrong, I'm GLAG he did but still, back off pal! :D Codie and Katie are SO attached to me that I have problems going on vacation without them. Codie would probably die if I ever got rid of him. Jim and I went on what I like to call a "mini-break" to Pennsylvania (which is not AT ALL far from Brooklyn). We drove down. Anyway, my mom (who was babysitting Codie) called me after a few days and begged me to come home because Codie was mierable and NOT eating. So I told her to rush him over to the vet and I would meet her there. They ended up putting him on an IV because he was dehydrated. Of course Jim and I drove home like 2 lunatics! The vet said he wasn't eating because he was miserable without us. The vet told me on the phone that Codie was just laying there unresponsive to anyone trying to kiss and hug him. But the minute Jim and I walked though the door and Codie saw us, he leaped up and started barking.

I was never so scared in my life! What if I was far away in Jamaica or the Bahamas? I would have had to change my flight and it would have taken hours to get home. Would Codie have died? So no way would I ever give my babies up!! I was so angry at myself for leaving him but I think he's gotten a bit better since I got Katie. Before I got her, Codie suffered terribly from seperation anxiety. I don't understand why because I didn't get him too early (like 5 weeks or anything). I got him when he was 3 months old.

Oh well. He's mine now and it's going to stay that way! :D :D :D :D

Oh WOW...That IS scary - I'm really worried about my 2 when I travel for my sons wedding - they've never been without me - that really makes me hope for the best and I have to count on my hubby to REALLY pay lots and lots of attention to them so this doesn't happen - WOW - you must have been frantic ! Amazing how just our voice or touch can be the best thing ever for them ....He loves you VERY much thats for sure !!

thats crazy that he would tripple the price you payed to get codie back! take it as a complimant... like villette said, its good you told him you neutered codie, cause maybe now he will back off a little seeing as how he knows he cant breed him.

i could never sell nugget back. he wouls be lost without me. he follows me around the house where ever i go, waits outside the bathroom for me, sleeps in my bed, goes everywhere with me... i just couldn't do it!

Quite a show of how much Codie means to you. Especially how much Ivan wants him back.

Are you kidding? Sell them? :eek: I'd give anything in this world to keep them forever! :(

NO WAY!! My kids stay with me, no matter what amount of money is offered.. I have a friend that keeps asking (in a kidding way, I think) "would you sell Ellie.. she is my Favorite"
My answer is always the same.. No Way!! and please stop asking.. She is my little luv baby!! Well, they all are but this is the one they ask for..
Our Destiny gets really, really depressed when our Daughter Aly spends the night at a friends house or even goes outside to play.. She mopes around like she lost her best friend.. We have to give her extra special attention.. She acts like she feels a little better, but she prefers Aly over any of us.. "Brat" I guess she just thinks Aly spoils her best!

buying back
 

I have sold a few dogs that I have had the new owners sign a contact that I have the first option in purchasing them back if they were ever were to sell these dogs. But my feelings are that once they have attached or bonded with a family that is were they should remain. Sue
