Wow. Just wowHad. She passed away several years ago, after not speaking to us for 12? 15? years.
She never forgave us for -- gasp!! -- BUYING a puppy from a breeder. Never mind it was a responsible breeder, not a puppy mill; a breed we loved (Doberman), and a considered, thought out decision. She never spoke to us again. Except when hubby called her a few years later on Mother's Day, and she said, "Why are you calling?"
