Would you believe this....the story of my life...nothing ever goes right!

Oh my goodness I am so sorry to hear this! I love my animals. My kitties all just kinda came here as strays and I never knew any owners but if I was to lose any of them I would be so heart broken. I wish there was something I could say that would help you feel better. Though I only know you through written word, I feel that you are such caring, loving person and make a great mommy for a pup. I'll be thinking of ya, and if you need to chat I am here for ya. Vicki

That is so sad. I know there are some low life people in this world who do stuff like this. I know it hurts now (I had to give up my dog when I was teenager after having for few years because both my parents became allergic to her - she was my baby and she went everywhere with me, so I know how you must feel), but over time the hurt will lessen.

Awww hun. Im sorry. I would see if you can talk to the lady and maybe figure out a way to keep her. Its not like you knew she was stolen. I really hope this all works out for you.

I am so sorry to hear your bad news, ctry. My heart is aching that you had to go through this. Every time I begin to revive my faith in human nature, something like this comes along to tear it all down again. Please try to keep your spirits up and do not give up hope that something good is in store for you. I know how much you love that little puppy and I really wish that things had worked out well. I will be praying that something good will come out of all this for you.

well that sucks and it's super sad. But imagine if you were in her position. Wouldn't you want your little puppy back? Why don't you just go to a homeless shelter or pet store to get a dog? At least you've got a better chance that they won't back out on you or call saying the dog is stolen. It's a much better source and those dogs need love probably just as much as you do. I'm sure you'd find a perfect match.

Sorry to hear that something like this has happened. You should turn the lady in for selling you a dog that was stolen. The thing that is hard for me to understand though is that the lady that stole the dog somehow got ahold of the vet records. You just don't leave vet records laying around your house so that the can get misplaced. You keep the records in a safe place that you know so they don't get misplacced and you lose them. That is my 2 cents

Oh, that is totally heartbreaking! Honestly if I were in your shoes, I would feel exactly the same way you did. That puppy is so cute! I wouldn't even know how to let go! We also have a dog, his name is Casper. If someone ever came to tell me Casper was his or her dog, I probably would be in a fight before I could finally let go!

Call the police and report what this woman has told you about the theft. Have them meet the woman coming to get the puppy and get the information from her about how the theft occurred. If it is for real she won't have a problem with this. If it isn't then she will have a problem and I would not be giving my pup back. Both of you can file charges against the theif. If it is for real then maybe she has some other dog for adoption and would be willing to make you a deal. If not look at a local shelter or rescue. Good luck

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this...is there anyway to negotiate with the owner to keep Buttercup? I realize the woman is going to reinburse you for the money, but that's not really the point is it?? Really....consider doing some negotiating to see if you can keep Buttercup Also, is there anyway to press some kind of criminal charges against the "thief"???

That's terrible! I hope you guys are able to sue the heck out of the "theif" of a person, if you can call it a person. A low down unfeeling dirt bag of a person! I'm so sorry about this! After reading some of your responses, I'm hoping you can negotiate a deal with her since you were honest enough to admit you have the dog. Especially since it would be going to a great and loving home. If she doesn't, I pray that you'll find another one to love at the shelters for there are so many there in need of homes and lots of love.

this is such a terrible thing to have happen, i'm so sorry your going thruough this. and poor buttercup ! so, do not worry about sounding like your over reacting to this. you are not ! so sad, for you both. i can't imagine how buttercup is going to feel, being taken away tonight. poor thing doesn't even understand it's coming. so you have to carry this burden alone. but i can reassure you, many of your my lot pals, are with you in your sorrow & loss of buttercup, tonight. after all, she is settled in with you and obviously you take great care of her. but to be torn apart, after building a bond is heartbreaking for you both. i know many don't believe animals have the same feelings as we do but, i prefer to think they do. i know if you do give buttercup back, and you were to visit her after some time has passed, i know she'd remember you. so, maybe you could see if the real owner would allow you to visit her. and sorry but, this is why they have that old saying..if its too good to be true, it probably isn't. because there are people that will stoop as low as they can to con someone, sadly ! but i would definately look into a shelter for another pal. there is someone there for you, i am sure of it. and you'd be helping a animal find a loving home which they all deseeve to have. as far as the thief, i certanly would look into filing charges on this person. maybe you and the owner should call the police tonight and file charges against this person. get the ball rolling, so to speak. at least then you'd have the owner & yourself there, together showing this incident has really happened etc. plus, the more paperwork you have showing you both were harmed in some way, the better for your lawyers ! may you be blessed with another friend soon, ctrymuziklvr. and may another animal find a home, with a big heart in it, such as your's !

I do not like the title of your discussion, though I know how you feel. Try to be positive. And watch out for such shady deals in the future. I hope you get another cute puppy soon that will be yours alone.

wow this is so sad. you are not over reacting at all. People do such mean things. As for the reimburisement i would tell the breeder how attached you are to the dog. And ask her if she has any dogs for adoption. (cause alot of breeders, not all are just about the business and will only breed the dog so many times and than get rid of them) It may be an option to explore. Also when she comes tonight she may feel kinda bad, thats if she has any heart at all and maybe she would be willing to give you a deal on a puppy knowing that it will be going to such a loving home, it won;t be your buttercup but it may be a few options that you may want to consider exploring.

That is terrible. Some people really don't care how many other people they upset. I hope you and the actual breeder can reach some agreement where you will be able to get a puppy from her in the near future. Maybe the pick of the litter. I really hope so as you have grown attached to that little bundle. I am so sorry that this has happened to you and think you are a wonderful person to do the right thing. Sending you positive thoughts.

something goes wrong and something goes right is just relative, it just depends on how much you expect of what. and when your expectations don't go your way then you feel like it went wrong.

My sympathies. Perhaps you'll find another--and perhaps it's best that it happened now, before you got too attached. dr...

This is very sad. Fancy this other person selling you a stolen puppy. You should report her to the Police. Can't you buy a puppy from your local animal shelter?

I am so sorry about Buttercup.You have a right to rant about this.There's got to be a way for you, a pet lover, to get a puppy.Before the Ellen- Iggy story, I would have suggested that you go to a shelter, but now.... Do you think Buttercup's other mom would know where you could adopt a puppy?Good Lick. I know there is a puppy waiting for you, I just wish i knew where.

It's terrible that your losing your little dog and after I'm sure you've become attached to her. My only suggestion is to maybe check at the pound and see if there's one you'd like to adopt. I'm sure there are some that are praying that some nice, kind, loving person will come along and give them a good home and save them from possibly being put down. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Poor you.. it was probably very terrible for you to get over it..? Maybe to buy another cute puppy?
