and adopting can be just as pricey and extremely hard to get approved for |
First, i just wanted to say I never posted that with the intentions of being mean(i tend to be sarcastic and when i type things, sometimes they sound different then how i mean them) i try not to judge people and am open to hear what others think-so i dont want anyone to think i was judging the lady who wanted the yorkie, on craigslist. Im sure she WOULD love the lil one, but this is where the money thing comes into play.. I DONT THINK yorkies are only for the wealthy, by ANY means!!(I, myself am young and have only been in my career for a couple years-so would be the last one to think that AT ALL!!)
..BUT yorkies ARE expensive-and i know where i live there are many people selling yorkies for lots and lots of money(even when they aren't registered, etc.
) so adoption would be her best bet..(i realize you need approval and it still costs money, but almost all the people who are personally re-homing their yorkies, still ask for an adoption-type fee, as well.
My point is there are many people that would LOVE to get a free yorkie(but really how common is that?? and if its a puppy, like she wanted-she is going to have vet bills, etc. just for the basics(even if she has an insurance type program it still costs money) I dont know the lady-and i hope she finds a dog to love.. but i thought her post was kinda far fetched. Kids(who alone, are expensive) mixed with such a tiny dog?? (i dont judge and never once thought she wouldnt love the yorkie, just that it probably WOULDN'T happen for free..She shouldn't really be so picky.. a "mini yorkie", because we all know standard yorkies are huge!!
hehe.(see my sarcastic, smart a** self-comes out again.
i thought it was a random post-sorry if it was taken the wrong way.

If she would do that to her kids that she gave birth to, what makes anyone think she would be good to a dog? |
i understand what you are saying and agree that the chances of getting one for free are very very slim!!
-even if someone gave her the dog for free(why are they giving it up in the first place?)
i really dont think she WOULD sell her home-but lots of money would probably be spent and maybe even rehoming the dog(again), then everyone would be in a worse off situtation(kids and owner, sad with plenty of bills) For all i know this lady could have plenty of money and be able to take care of her kids, the dog, etc. but then why wouldnt she just save up for a little while, then get one.(or like i said before, not be so picky with her request, etc.)
