Well, they should be delighted to take Molly back then. I would think 
that such a place would have given you some sort of written assurance 
that if the puppy didn't work out, they would take her back. After all, 
if the breeder is Missouri takes her back, he'll know what happened to 
the puppy that he hand-delivered only what, 9 weeks or so ago? If you 
sell her on the Net, who knows where she went to? I would call the 
breeder and tell him that you can't keep Molly, and that you would like 
to return her. Since she came from a concerned breeder as you said, he 
should take her back. Of course if he DOESN'T take her back, you may have 
just learned a littl more about pet stores and puppy mills...

I know that my breeder (who is in this month's issue of the AKC Gazette, 
the lady with the Goldens in the breeder articles, Sligo's mom is with 
her), will take my puppy back no matter what. If my husband and I manage 
to get killed together on our next trip to the supermarket, or if such a 
thing happens 10 years from now, Sligo has a home with his breeder. I 
don't have to worry about what will happen to him. Rather comforting.

her mouth in that picture)
