Our new Boston Terrier puppy didn't make it.
My dear, heartbroken husband called me this morning with the news (from the vet). Parvo got the best of her. We're going to pick her up this afternoon and bury her under the front flower bed.
*sigh*
I think this was in the PM that Pressing-On posted to her thread, but I have never seen my husband so smitten with a dog--or any other animal--and he is simply devastated. I really can't stand to see my husband cry. It makes me cry buckets.
Say a prayer for him today!
In the meantime, we have made several calls to the breeder, who isn't answering the phone. (of course
) We aren't even going to try to get our money back--I doubt we could anyway--but we are going to file a complaint, and let the local newspaper know that she sold a puppy with Parvo. Hopefully, they will remove her ad. Puppies
can get the virus after they've had their first shot, and up until they're completely immunized, but since we know what the incubation period is, and she started acting sick the first night we brought her home, we're pretty sure the breeder knowingly sold us a sick puppy.
