I can understand her pain and her wanting this particular dog and my heart goes out to her, but I know I would never,ever give up either of my dogs even if someone thought they would be a better owner.

Thank you so much! I think you're right. I'm going to tell my friend what you said and see if she'll do it. I too, don't think the woman will give up her Yorkie, but you never know. I know her dh is not fond of ANY of her animals, but he's not here most of the year...but still, with the training issues I'm sure it causes some friction and you just never know. If it was a person who was either a stay at home mom or someone who had a regular job and only had a few dogs, I would totally agree with you about giving up one of their animals, and I would NEVER give up mine either; but she's got so many social commitments and committees and functions and this and that, along with a very active golf club, that she really has way more than she can honestly care for. I love animals just as much and I've had many many birds like she does and I finally realized even if I had someone else helping me, I had too much to really care for the way they should be cared for. Lots of animals need a LOT of attention and need someone to care if they're suffering b/c they're stressed out with too much stimulus. That's what makes me the saddest I guess. But like you say, it's HER dog and she's not much different than the Paris Hiltons and whoever (although she's much much older) who have the money to hire people to take care of their animals even if they dont' have time to really pay attention to them all (and I have a feeling that she would say the exact same thing if it was pointed out to her; she's got the money to buy them and to give them all the grooming, vet care and all the physical things they need, so it's nobody's business but her own). But thank you for understanding how my friend feels. I know she's really torn about this.
