Legal Question in Consumer Law in Texas

Puppy Died after 10 days

I bought a puppy from someone online & went & picked it up about 4 hours away. I get there she doesn't show up for over an hour & states that she had run the puppy to the vet because the thermostat had stuck & he had gotten too hot. She said he had a little cough & the vet put him on antibiotics & I should take him to my vet in 7 days. But the contract said within 2 days. I listened to her (yes, I know, I'm stupid) & took him in 6 days because he wasn't getting any better. The vet advised me that the puppy was way too sick when I bought him for her to have sold him to me. He had pnuemonia & probably wouldn't make it. The puppy then died about 3 days later. I sent the people I bought him from an email stating that he died she advised me that she wasn't obligated to give me a puppy but her mother stated to give me a replacement but that her dogs had just had puppies & it would be about a year before she could replace it. Even though over this past 7 months she has had 3 or 4 litters. Each time I asked for one of those she would not get back in touch w/ me till all the pups where sold. She is now stating that she is not giving us a dog at all. Is the contract void since she has stated in writing that she'll replace the first pup?
