I haven't been on YT as much as I'd like. I graduated college, and I'm now preparing to take the LSAT which is what is going to get me into law school. And now I'm faced with the decision that I'm going to have to rehome my Theresa.

I love my Theresa. She is the most friendliest, happiest puppy in the entire world. She is like my alarm clock, she is ALWAYS up early. Everyone in my family loves her. This is why it is so hard for me to admit that I can't take on the responsibility of two dogs. I thought I could, but my grandmother and grandfather need my help, so I'm moving in with them while I figure out what law school I'm going to.

The reason I'm rehoming my little reese is that she is the one who doesn't listen to me. She is a very stubborn dog by nature, and although this is one of the traits that I admire about her, with everything going on, I feel I won't have the time and attention to properly and adequately train her to follow my commands. However, I truly do believe that with the right amount of attention in the right home, she could be the perfect dog for someone else. I know that if I didn't eventually rectify this situation with her disobedience, it would lead to frustration on my part, and that type of environment is not suitable for any dog.

That means Teddy will be all alone. And one of the main reasons I got Theresa was because of Teddy. Although, I can honestly say, that he will notice she's gone, but he STILL gets jealous, when she sits on my lap, or licks my hand for a little too long.

What you won't find on here, however, is a thread on here saying I'm selling her. I'm not going to charge an exoribant fee for my Theresa. There is no amount of money that could justify rehoming her. I spent well over 1000 for my two dogs, but there is no way I could ask someone to repay me for the good feelings and memories I had when I shelled out that money. I, instead, called a great yorkshire rescue group here in Northern California. They are a small organization and currently have 4 other yorkies they are fostering. She is coming to take my baby this morning.

Words can't even begin to describe the pain I am feeling right now. I feel like I have let her down. To make matters worse, my sister sent me a text message last night with the following: "you are very mean. You should have never have gotten her then. She has feelings too." (and, let me remind you, I am triplet, so she is the same age as me, 22.) That broke me down and I cried for the rest of the night. Am I a bad mommy for letting Theresa go? I just think I am only able to handle one dog. It hurts me so bad, and I know I will be a wreck when the lady comes to pick up my baby.
