| Decided to sell Silk After a few days of fretting and worrying over my little new gal, I have decided to sell her. In fact, I placed an ad in my local paper just now. Please don't feel harsh at me. She is just not right for what I wanted her for. The main number one reason I wanted her was so Ceeby would have a playmate. I think she hates him. she is not mean to him or anything but just will not come off the couch. she watches us play fetch but won't even look like she wants to join in. He is so sweet. he even carries his toys to her and she turns her head. She has not had any water since she has been here except what i give her with a dropper. I called the lady this morning and she said she drinks from a water bottle so off I went bright and early to the pet store and bought one. Didn't work. She is the prettiest little thing. My nerves are shot. You all know what a time I have had trying to keep ceeby well and alive. I just don't need this aggravation right now. I also thought that I would breed her to Ceeby late summer but I don't think she will ever let him, plus I looked at her paper and found out she is actually a year older than what the lady told me. Of course, I signed a 'as is' paper because she told me that is how she sells all her adult females. I have loved her and petted her and done everything I know to do and I ust keeo getting more flustered so I think it is in both our interests to rehome her. Please pray that I will find her a good home where she can be the "lap" dog she seems meant to be. Maybe an older retired couple. |

| I think you need to rethink about this, I may be mistaken but its seemms like she still has health issue, like not drinking water and other things you mentioned. You need to atleast stablelize her before putting her up for adoption. If she gets adopted and something happens it would be devastating. |

oh gosh hon dont give up on her. She has only been with you a short time, the old saying roman wasnt built in a day. A rehome takes time, could take months for her to trust you and her surroundings. Yorkies just want to be loved she will come around.

| I don't mean to be harsh, but it takes time and patience to introduce a new pet into a family. A couple of days is just a drop in the bucket. You can't force it to happen, you have to relax and let it happen on their terms. I assure you, the effort is well worth it. You say you want to breed. I suggest you browse the breeder's section and read some of their stories. You'll see that it also takes a lot of time and patience to take care of a mom and her babies. If introducing a new pet gets you this flustered and upset, you might want to rethink your desire to breed.

| I really do feel for you, I rehomed Benz recently because I was not going to use him as a stud any longer. I thought long and hard about what was best for him. I cried for a few days I loved the little guy very much but he deserved a home that could give him one on one lap attention and thats what he got. Had I kept him he would have only become more frustrated as the girls come into heat and would have been totally miserable he couldnt mate. If indeed you feel you can not bring out the best in the little gal then your doing the best thing before you get too attached and her to you. Hugs to you I know its difficult!

| I really don't think anyone meant to be mean. It is just that it has been a short period of time. I took a poodle that was 4 years old and it did take some time for her to adjust but when she did it was great for the both of us. She became a member of my whole family. Please rethink your decision I think things will turn around for you. It will take a little more time but do what you feel is best. |

| I'm so very sorry that you are so upset I do know what its like to bring a new pet into the family and the others don't take to them,let me start at the beginning, my husband wanted to buy me a bichon, so he found a ad that said a lady was selling purebred tiny tea cup bichons straight from paris, so we thought it would fit in nicely with Peeka and dutchess, so when he came this poor little guy had no teeth yet. scarey, and when we got him home the other two hated him, to the point of doing harm to this little guy we named bear, I tried over and over agin to make them be friends I cried and cried, and was so scared to leave them in the same room, but after a lot of thought and a lot of prayer, we decided to give him to a really close couple (friends of ours) I was not going to give him to just anybody, and any ways this little bear is now just a big brute!makes my maltese look minature........so I just wanted you to know you are not alone, and give this some serious thought and I am here to talk with all the time if you need to talk! Hang in there!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I really don't think four days is long enough for her to have overcome her fear and the confusion she must feel. From the drinking water from a bottle comment, I assume she must've been caged in her other home? She's scared and doesn't understand ALL the changes......poor thing
