Cicero's Mummy
Well-known member
Okay... so the In-laws finally got on the ball and called our breeder about Cicero coming home this weekend... and get this... she said it would be about 2 more weeks or so before he was ready!!! We found out she has a really hard time of letting go of her pups that she sells, this is the only reason she is holding onto them all for 2 more weeks.
My fil (the vet) spoke to her and told her about the situation and that since he was already 12 weeks, that it should be fine for him. But, we haven't heard back from her (she is to call if she changes her mind).
So... all in all... this really sucks... looks like we have another 2 weeks to wait. I was so upset that she just changed her mind on how old he had to be because of her separation issues. The father-in-law is still working on getting her to "let go."
Bruce, maybe you might be able to offer some advice that will give me some sympathy towards her?? Last night I spent 2 hours crying because she isn't delivering like she promised... it just is so annoying!!
Needless to say, we are all pretty peeved' on this end. Including my mil and fil... they had already arranged plans and such for flying and traveling (they are 3 hours from SLC). My father in law is the most upset because she is not listening to what we are saying. I mean we have already arranged for me to take off Friday and Monday and then hubby has taken off the entire week of the 26th!! This is something you can only do once in med school per year... and now it is wasted!!! She just isn't listening that 12 weeks is old enough to go home (again the attachment issues) and that we have made scheduling perfect to introduce Cicero into our home and environment... I mean we did everything on our part and she is doing nothing!!
IMHO... My breeder should be very happy at this point that we can't mention names here because we are very very upset (and are not going to use her when we get our second cavie -- in about a two years, yes we already have it planned in our long term plans -- we're geeks).
HELP!! I NEED SOME CONSOLING WORDS AS I WAIT THESE EXTRA 2 WEEKS!!
