His next statement was that if he had been able to see the puppy BEFORE he was critical, he might have a better explanation for me. And don't you remember telling me that the puppy had eaten some potting soil, Penny? I do. And since when is toxic gut "genetic in nature"? Anyone who has one of my puppies can tell you that I would NEVER hesitate to replace one who was defective in ANY way, but I do expect that my puppy buyers will take their pup to a vet to find out what's wrong BEFORE they're almost dead. This has been years ago and your need to place blame should be exhausted by now, but since you keep bringing it up I felt I should respond lest someone else believe the rumor. I'm very sorry the puppy got sick and died; he was one gorgeous, healthy little boy and I entrusted him to your care. So much for that. If you feel any further need to vent, please e-mail me personally and keep this off the List.
