| Ok I will be bring my puppy home early Well my breeder has had a big problem pop up and I will be picking up my puppy earlier than expected, she will only be 8 weeks, but my breeders husband is in the hospital with a heart attack and now her daughter just went into premature labor and she will be leaving as soon as she can to go to her, her husband is supposed to be getting to go home in the AM. and her mother is going to help him as much as she can but she is quiet elderly, and my breeder does not believe that her mother or her husband can take care of the puppy. She says that she is eatting really well and she is going to be giving me her cell # and told me to call if I needed anything and she would help me. She took the puppy to the vet today and the vet said everything was good and that it should be ok for her to go. Please do not lecture me about the age, I just feel that I need to take her she was a only pup. I just hope that I can count on you guys and gals if I and when I need advice. Ya'll always are so helpfull when it is needed, and I am sure I will need the support. Thank Tess Last edited by mom2reds; 08-06-2008 at 08:17 PM. |

| I don't see any reason why in this situation there is anything wrong with 8 weeks. I would rather you take the puppy at 8 weeks than have a heart attack patient and his elderly mother-in-law watching the pup (no offense to them, I'm just sure its too much to handle). I know 8 weeks is earlier than the preferred, but sometimes life just happens and we have to deal with it. Good luck and congratulations on your baby!!! |

| Sometimes the "rules" just need to be broken. I'm sure everything will be just fine. Please post some pics we want to see the new baby.

~And I forgot one thing, I don't know if this is your first young yorkie puppy, but you might want to pick up Puppy Nutrical (I'm sure you've heard all about it on YT, its available at Petco/Petsmart) These tiny puppies have the risk of hypoglycemia if they miss a meal for some reason (ie the stress of moving). A tiny bit of Nutrical goes a long way and keeps their blood sugar from dropping if they aren't eating well. I would recommend having it around just in case. CONGRATULATIONS ON TOMORROW | |

| good luck with your little baby I think it's better you take her now, that way she gets all of the attention she needs, with all that happened that family has a lot to focus on at the moment, luckily the puppy is at least 8 weeks and healthy right now!

| Thanks eveyone I am so excited that I can't sleep it is almost 1 am here. Blondeyorkiemom I have some nutrical for puppies Thanks though I think I have everything I can think of Crate toys blankets and a heating pad to put under her crate cause I keep my house around 73 at night with the ceiling fans on, I don't want her to get cold. If yall think of anything else let me know, oh and 'I have wee wee pads to. Tess |

YT 2000 Club Member | Awe, I'm so sorry to hear that the breeder is having so many things go wrong right now, that's got to be so very hard. Sometimes things just cannot be helped, life happens and we just have to make the best of it. We'll be here for you to try and answer any questions you have and to help in any way we can. I really cannot see anyone being critical here, this isn't something that can be helped, no one plans on having a heart attack or giving birth prematurely. Best of luck to you, I'm sure your furbaby will do just fine, but we're here just in case ;-)

Donating YT 30K Club Member | That's good you ca get her and take care of her. I would rather she be with you than where she may not be able to get the attention she needs, due to unforseen circumstances. Just make sure you have nutrical and that she eats frequently. Watch her carfeully for any signs of hypoglycemia if she is not eating well. Congratulations

| I'm sure she will be fine. It sounds like she's in good hands, since she cares enough about the puppy to stay home for awhile to see that she is cared for properly before leaving. Try not to worry.

| She might be having diarrhea due to the current stress in the breeder's household? Also when she goes to you in her new home you can probably expect that as well seeing as she will be adjusting to her new environment. I would also recommend getting Goats Milk Esbilac for her during her first few days with you. Goat's milk is for puppies with sensitive digestive systems. Highly digestible source of protein and energy. Carefully formulated to match nutrients and taste of mother’s milk, use for orphans or to supplement mother’s feedings. |
