| what should i do? So as most of you know,i have 3 yorkies Duke ,Duchess, and Gypsy-Rose (who is 13 weeks old). My dillema is that there is an 85 yr old lady that lives in my town.i do not know her,however we have spoken occasionally if i see her when im out on a walk with my babies as she loves yorkies.Anyway i havent seen her for a couple of weeks but i had a phone call from her tuesday! The story is that she has a 10 week old male yorkie puppy,that she has only had 2 weeks,she is very poorly and cant look after him and is moving into a hospice.(i dont think she has long left to live ) She has no family and wants me to have her puppy. She said she would die a happy woman knowing that he will be living with me and joining my family.She doesnt want me to pay her anything for him,he is a gift! Do you guys think i should have him? (money is no problem and i can give him a good home) Please advise me! |

| I'm sorry I have no advise for you. I hope everything works out in this situtation. I wanted to tell you that I am co-owner on some cocker spaniels and their names are Duke, Dutchess, and Gypsy-Rose! |

| You answered your own question. If you can afford it and give him the home and you want him it's an easy decision.

| IMO I would be honored if someone thought so much of me. She obviously really likes you a lot and knows that you are an animal lover too. She probably doesn't know anyone else who would give that puppy a better home. I would take it in, the older lady might not be able to care for him anymore. Keep us posted on what you do! |

| I would not worry about the 2 males fighting if you got them neutered. My boys (except for certain toys) get along great. It is sad this woman even though about getting a puppy but what is done is done and what you could do is take the puppy and if it doesn't work down the road rehome him. I know that this is a little wrong but if it makes this woman feel good to think her puppy is with you then so be it. I know it would be extra work but I have 10 so to me 4 is very doable.

| This is so sad. I would take the puppy and give the woman piece of mind in her final days. If the puppy does not workout you can always rehome him later, maybe with a friend or a family member. |
