Nancy, I'm so glad that she is going to let you get Maggie as planned. Yesterday was just a bad day for you, that's for sure. The grieving is natural and with your emotions all in an uproar it was easy for this to upset you terribly.
For most pups I think 8 weeks is optimum for forming new attachments.... that's what an OES dog breeder told me years ago when we got our Duffy. But, I don't know if that is true with chihuahuas. You won't relax, I'm sure, until you have her in your arms and home safe with Abby. I'll be thinking about you..... hugs, mj and benji girl ________________________________ From: Nancy Lucky <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, October 8, 2010 9:14:37 AM Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] I have a question?(Nancy) Rylee, thank you for taking the time to read my long email. She emailed me this morning and told me that as long as Maggie was eating okay that she would let me have her as planned. I feel so much better - thanks again for the support it meant a lot to me :) --- On Fri, 10/8/10, Rylee O'Neill <[email protected]> wrote: >From: Rylee O'Neill <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] I have a question?(Nancy) >To: [email protected] >Date: Friday, October 8, 2010, 7:25 AM > > > > >Nancy- It sounds like you are grieving very much.
