Sad


Yesterday we found out that Roxie has a large heart murmur and most likely isn't going to make it. The breeder didn't feel comfortable giving her to us in that condition. We are thankful we found out before getting her and that the breeder notified us and gave us our deposit back, but we are really sad.

We have too many exciting things going on in the next few days to let this ruin our week, so we are trying to remain optimistic and we are on the search for a new Roxie! We have found two others we are looking at and if those don't work out then we will have to wait for a new litter...meaning we would have to wait another two months. Not cool.

Everything happens for a reason, we will try to remain hopeful and know that God has a better pup picked out for us...somewhere.

Oh man! I was really excited for you guys! Poor Roxie :( At least you have other things to keep your mind off her. Hopefully you find your new pup soon.

I'm sorry! :( You're right though, everything happens for a reason. There's a great pup out there for you.

Jessica said...

So sorry to hear that. At least you found a reputable breeder, that is rare to find someone that would be that honest :)

I'm sure you'll find your furbaby soon :)

I'm so sorry!
It would have been even worst to bring her home and watch her go. You'll find a new healthy puppy, I just know it.

Jamie said...

oh sad : ( Poor baby!
I hope you find another baby to love on. You should check out a shelter when you get back home--you could even get out of housetrainig that way!

Poor girl. :(

Breezer said...

So sad to hear it! Having a sick pet is so hard. Non-pet owners just can't understand.

JaggedLittleJenn said...

Oh no! That is so sad... atleast you found out before you fell (completely) in love with her! Better luck next time girl.

Amber said...

Oh that's so sad. She looks so much like my Dixie when she was a pup - it makes me want to cry. :(

Kat said...

Poor puppy. You're very lucky the breeder was so honest. I'm sure you'll find your puppy soon!

Kristin said...

SO sad for you! Feelin' your pain from VA. I think I'm especially emotional about pets at the moment w/ what our Chester has been through in the past week or so. - You're right though, I guess it's better to find out now than go through the pain of loosing a precious member of the family. Hope God brings another your way soon. One even more perfect! Keep us posted, ok?

Very sorry to hear that. Hoping you find a healthy adorable pup soon.

Nikki said...

Sorry to hear about your disappointment, sniff-sniff. Is there a particular dog you are looking at, or just any puppy? I have a friend here in NH who does lots of work with rescue pups. She has a bunch coming up this week. Let me know and I'm happy to connect you with her....Good luck!

Margaret said...

:( Awww! Thats so sad. For the dog and for both of you. I'm hoping you dont' have to wait two months and that you get to bring a puppy home soon!

Meant to be a mom said...

That breaks my heart. Seeing her little face and hearing that. I love boxer's. So sad. But I do hope you guys can get another dog and hopefully one that is healthy.

LauraAnn said...

Awe! I am so sorry! Fingers crossed that you are able to find a new Roxie ASAP!

That was very, very nice of the breeder to be upfront and honest with you. Sadly not all breeders are that way....just looking to make some money.

Brittany said...

Oh that's terrible! :-( I'm sorry. I hope you find the perfect pup!
