How does this always happen?
I need to stop talking to the breeder that I got Mochi from or she'll start to hate me too:
(Background: I had been emailing a breeder on the Chin forum I post on about getting another dog for Mochi to play with. I was asking her specific questions about the dog but not yet fully committing. She had been trying to push this dog on me since Mitsuko died and I was giving it some consideration.)
Meg,
I am just a little upset right now with both you and me.
You DO NOT tell someone you are taking their dog and then keep on looking and posting on a shared website what you are looking at.
I can not believe that I am stupid enough to get excited that you were getting one of my dogs twice.
I had been emailing and talking on the phone to a lady in Arizona that wanted Seth. She planned to fly in to pick him up, but when I got this email from you I told her he had been sold to someone else and gave her the name of a friend that had a puppy for sale....She has already bought and picked up the other puppy.
I sincerely hope you find the dog you want and will be happy with it because there is no way that I will ever sell one of my dogs to you. If you are this indecisive over what dog and where to buy it I don't feel like I want to deal with you.

This email was in my inbox after I posted about rescuing a chin. She must have finally saw my posts (I have been posting about this for at least a week now).
This is the last email I sent the breeder 8 days ago:
I think I should let you know we're looking into other rescues at the
moment too. Johns brother volunteers at a shelter here and there is a
chin there being processed for adoption. That's all I know about that
one atm though. If the dog is too old or unhealthy I wouldn't be able
to adopt. I'm also going to call today about a 4 yr old female chin
rescue. No dogs are in serious consideration yet except Seth though.
Ill keep you posted. And don't get me wrong, I love Seth and I know
he's a great healthy dog, but rescuing has always been in my heart and
if I had an opportunity to rescue a chin I would love to do it.
How can this email be misinterpreted to "I definitely want your dog and please hold him for me so no one else can buy him"?
UGH!
