I do need some help...but I think these groups are too tough for
me...you are the only one who "snapped" on the fact that I don't know
what /how or to whom I'm responding ..but thanks to you for being nice.
We're kinda laid-back in Texas...not "shooting-from-the-hip" so
quickly!
I wish I could get that initial question off the site...my attorney
chewed me out because now (that the surgery has been done in both eyes)
there may be litigation.Someone told me I could "go pound salt" and
another called me a "pooper-wizzer" or some such...They ain't from
Texas.
Thanks again! Sorry about my "potty-mouth"...I wasn't at my best that
day. By the way, she can see...hooray! She's not even two years old yet
and I can watch her wandering around the backyard almost like she's
never seen all of it before....

Heavens. I think it's probably more the case that you're
not used to being shot at.

No Matt, I bought a registered dog from a registered breeder. What I'm
finding out is that I do have health a guarantee...I just didn't read
it or sign it nor do I remember it being in her package.

I'm unclear on why you're trying to hold the breeder liable
for your failure to pay attention to the details of a
transaction you entered into willingly and that you
completed (you paid for the puppy). Bad things happen
sometimes; you take your lumps and hopefully learn to pay
more attention to contracts, and most of all you do what
needs to be done to take care of your dog.

Also, it's often the case that exercising a health guarantee
requires returning the dog. You might want to find out what
the details are of the guarantee before you sic your
attorney on the breeder.

It's smart-mouthed folks like you who run off the polite,
informative people who really care about helping other animal lovers
and who have, out of necessity been down many different roads,
sometimes saving and sometimes not. My posting was odd...granted, but
that was no excuse for ending up in a hornet's net. I may being suing
or some such....I was trying to make a decision about surgery and I got
squat. We have a rule in the real estate business...you show all parts
of the contract and have the pages signed. Never having bought a puppy
from what I now know is a puppy-mill, I didn't know about health
guarantees and certainly not after 16 months would I take her back.
Once I found the guarantee, folded carefully in the bottom of the
envelope was the health guarantee. At the very least, a dog, of any
sort should not be registered without a complete set of signed
papers...I can't sell a house without a complete set but it's also my
job to make sure they know about the forms and sign them....but of
course all of you smart-asses know that! You've proved that you're just
the "sort" to be a part of the "reality-based" community.Is there
anywhere in your realm of understanding that not all of us are as
computer friendly as you? I'm working with Google for the groups to be
monitored and to be removed from the group I'm in...Yuk!

Good luck with that. Google doesn't own usenet and has no more
business monitoring it than you do. And you don't have to be
'removed' from a group - - if you don't like it, stop reading and
posting. It's pretty simple.

And I just might be one of them!

However, I was having a *heck* of a hard time following what
you were saying about shooting off your own mouth on the one
hand and being offended about other people shooting off
their mouths. Is incoherence something endemic to Texas, as
well?

That's really something between you and your vet - there are
too many variables in there for anybody to tell you what to
do. When in doubt, see someone else and get a second
opinion. I have a rescue, also initially purchased from a
pet store/puppy mill by someone who didn't know what she was
doing, who apparently developed cataracts at the age of six
months. I took him up to the local veterinary research
hospital to be examined by an ophthamologist, and together
with my regular practice vet we decided it probably wasn't
worthwhile to put Saber through the surgery. You are
dealing with a different set of circumstances and a
different set of resources and there's no reason to think
that my situation has anything to do with your situation.

Now, I'd like you to translate the previous paragraph into
Ukrainian for me. I'm going to throw a real snit if you
don't, since by posting here you implicitly put yourself at
the demand of anybody who wants something.

We have a rule in the real estate business

Sue somebody - anybody - when there's an outcome you don't
like?

Once I found the guarantee, folded carefully in the bottom of the
envelope was the health guarantee.

Sue them!

At the very least, a dog, of any
sort should not be registered without a complete set of signed
papers...

What's a "complete set of signed papers?"

I'm working with Google

No kidding? I hear their cafeteria is *fabulous*.
