I feel for you, I really do, at least Lacey has found a nice and hopefully permenant home.
People need to realise that any pet, even reps are a commitment. They aren't a novelty to be brought and sold on when something better catches the eye. If you buy something as a pet, you keep it as a pet, the only reasons for selling it on should be a change in personal circumstances which would prevent you from providing due care and attention to the animal.
Breeders are a bit different of course, animals are brought as an investment and are better off in new homes if they the rep dosn't fit into breeding plans.
That said everyone and his wife seems to be calling themselves a breeder now a-days......

I totally agree. My animals are MY animals, I've raised them from neonates, and I'll continue to do so until they die. I'm planning on relocating to the US, and taking them with me, at a huge expense to myself, much more than they are worth financially. But they will come with me, providing they are healthy enough for the stress of the journey, which I have no reason to believe they won't be.
