Just a quick update...
I don't know if it was fate, or what, but last night I was looking around on the ASPCA website, for something unrelated to my baby search. I haven't looked for a Yorkie in a while, I just figured when it was time, it would happen in some way.
I just happened to click on 'Adopt', and of course it pulled up PetFinder. After some serious thought, I put in my zip, and the breed. It pulls up some in AL and TN. I saw four babies, two girls, and two boys. I think they're brothers and sister. The shelter is about an hour from me, so I emailed them, figuring they wouldn't still be available, or that the adoption fee would be too high.
She emailed me back. They're ALL still available! And, the adoption fee is only $100. But, that $100 is grocery money right now. I'm still not working, although I've been on a few interviews, and have been applying like mad.
I called my DH and told him about it. I said 'I know we can't afford it right now, but...'. He didn't say anything, so maybe, maybe just maybe, he'll find a way.
He knows how heartbroken I am over Rascal, and that I loved that baby.
The only things that scare me are this. I've never trained a puppy before. I'm sure that it will be easier with me not having any carpet in my house, though. And, I'm also afraid that I'll feel really, really bad for breaking this baby up from his/her (I haven't decided yet!) brothers and sisters.
So....wish me luck! And, I know this probably isn't PC, but I'm going to be praying for His Will in this, and hope that I have a brand new baby by next week!!
Thanks again for all of your support and kindness.
