The nice Thai guy reserved Pearl, and arranged to pick her up when she was more mature.
When the Thai guy left, I had another customer come in, who's an old customer, having already bought a few chihuahaus and came in to pick up another, she said she wanted Pearl very much. I told her that Pearl was already sold. She said, she wanted to play with Pearl. So I brought Pearl out to have the lady admirem, even though usually I don't let puppies that are already reserved to come out to see anyone other than the owner at all. But that day was probably a fateful day both for me and Pearl. I trusted her and didn't ask that lady where she has been because I trust her. When that lady left, Pearl had a bad stomach and was diagnosed with a very bad disease. I was shocked because there has never been such thing my house. So I called up the lady and she confessed that before she came to my house, she was at the Sunday market to buy some dogs stuff. I was shocked because the Sunday market is a place full of deadly diseases for dogs.
Pearl passed away two days ago. It was during a time when I was enjoying many things in my life. But the passing of this maltese puppy is a minor scar that makes me miss her and makes me want to cry every few minutes. And yes, I cried. I cried a lot.
The Thai guy who bought her also felt very sorry. He said he felt attached to Pearl since the day he met. He told me, when Pearl was still under doctor's care, that he would still take her if she made it. I knew that. But it seems Pearl ahd old karma, which prevented her from going to a loving home, which welcomes her so much.
I am more than sorry. More than sad. I blame myself for not be cautious, and didn't check where that lady just came from. It resulted in a tragedy, which creates a scar in my life, which may stay with me for a long time. Perhaps to my last breath.
I know that Pearl is at the rainbow bridge. I hope she will forgive me. So long, my dear, Pearl.

oh Joom I am so sorry about Pearl. That is so sad, It sometimes amazes me how people don't think, like this lady who came to your house, she should've known not to be around pups when she was at a market where there are so many diseases. My prayers go out to you and the guy who was in love with Pearl also. (((HUGS)))
Joom that is so sad, you brought a tear to my eyes. I feel for you and the guy who was going to take little Pearl, she was a beautiful puppy. Some people just don't understand diseases and jerms and don't understand why us as breeders care and are so cautious with our little babies. Lots of Hugs XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
Joom, You've got tears to my eyes again. It's very very sad...for Pearl.
Think this way, she has no more pain. She lives in the rainbow bridge. She is smiling to you with happiness because she knows you love and care for her. She has no more pain....
So long...sweet Pearl...
Joom.sending love and hugs sweet heart!! I know all your intentions are certainly good ones and to you to have friend take the dog for day most likely seemed ok to play. However very sad to hear she would take in such an enviorment with such conditions.
I am germ freak... even after dog show here in the states... I always take all my clothing off in wash room and into wash machine before touching my own dogs and also scrub bottoms of my shoes with clorox clean ups...just to be safe not to bring anything home.
You can NEVER be to careful with puppies... I am still cautious even after puppies have their second boosters where I will allow my dogs to be.
CHIN UP....... you are a special lady with a very big heart....
You would of had no idea this was to happen......
She is jumping in the clouds with the holy one and looking down on you to wipe your tears.
I say prayer for you for peace in your heart..
Please do not blame yourself.
In my thoughts
Michelle

Only people who have lost a puppy can understand the sadness you have.
I am sorry very much.
I feel your pain.
Please, don't blame for it!!
I'm sure you will have a lot of more puppies what they need your affection.
Think in them!!
A very big hug.
So sad. It can happen to any of us at any time.
now i realize how bad that market is.... i remember when i was there you told me how bad it was and now i see... god bless pearl...
Oh Joom...We are so so sorry for the loss of Pearl.
We feel your pain, when an un expected, all well puppie, dies, it makes a scare in ones heart, we really feel your pain...So sorry you and for the man, who expected his Pearl to, and even the Lady who brought the disease...it is also in her faith, to do this...we should not judge her, she must be so sorry and sad to.
In our house, don´t let people, not even familly in to our puppies just becouse of the risk, and we have hand Alhco gel to give when people come to pick out their puppie and we also use it our selfs when we are around our puppies. when we come home form town and after every hand wash.
Pearl is in dog heaven now, playing with all other puppies, and not feeling any pain any more.
Of course she forgive you and the lady!
Love Ellika and Peter
Joom ,

Please be carefull. You have so many nice babies that can also gets sick!!

Joom
I feel so bad for you. I know you blame yourself but you and I are alike. We love our puppies and trust people to much. I would've done the same as you. Thinking IF this gal had been some where bad she wouldn't come near a new puppy. We all have to learn from our mistakes and others. I don't like to be mean and say no you can't see or hold the puppies but I need to be more careful too. I let people hold my new ones and have to stop that. Let's both turn a new leaf and be more careful. Pearl is in a good place now and being so loved. She is adorable. I feel bad that this happened. You are a wonderful person with many many loving caring friends-2 and 4 legged..LOL Take care

Pearl was a cutie. I have never met her but I'm sure she was the sweetest little girl.
Don't blame yourself for what happened, you meant well and had no way of knowing what that lady had been bringing with her when she went your home. Having dogs in our lives gives us a kind of happiness that is not possible without them around, but along with ... Read Moreit is sadness so profound it seems impossible to overcome when one of them has leave us. We all know that dogs have a much shorter life span than us humans but unfortunately it doesn't hurt any less when something like this happens.
I am so sorry for your loss.
What a horrible story. I´m so sad to read this tragedy.
This could happens to all of us. We must be more careful
and we can´t trust anyone. My condolences for you.
I know, how you feel.
Thank you.... for trying to warm my heart. It means a lot.
Oh Sis, this is a terrible terrible news. Big hugs to you. You're a strong person, you'll get through this. I'm sure Pearl is now playing and running happily at the rainbow bridge. We're gonna hug you more when we get there with you :)
I feel so sorry for you. I can feel what you feel, every time we lost one of our precious, it takes apiece of our heart along. It's hurt, for sure, and truly, like a wound,surely it will leave a scar, how small is it - but I'm sure that astrong person like you will get through this. Hugs to you.
Joom, I am so sad with you and little Pearl. I know we are alike, dogs are our hearts and soul. Loosing Pearl is a hard condition for you , but you will pass. Pearl knows that you love and care her. She loves you too. She is looking at and smiling at you from the dogs heaven.
I just wanted to give you a kiss and a hug.
It hurts when a puppy dies and can not do anything.
My tears fall from my eyes.
Many kisses
I am very sorry about it. Joom, don't blame yourself too much. Yes some people don't understand that puppies are too young to go outside. And I believe that you would reject anyone who want to play with little puppies while they're still too small from now on. If those people don't understand you that means they're not your real friends...
