Taking the dog back because your child misses her is not the right reason! A dog is an adult's responsibility and if YOU are not the one that wanted her enough to keep her in the first place, then you need to leave her where she is! She's adjusted to her new home and looks to be in a great home with an owner that loves her. Do what is best for this little dog and leave her where she is. You say you have time for her right now since you aren't working, but what happens if you go back to work? What if you don't have time for her again later? Also, there is no way you really love and care for Lola - someone who really loves their dog (most of us here think of our yorkies as our children!) would never put them for sale on puppyfinder or any other one of those crappy selling sites! And we certainly wouldn't be asking $2000 or $3000 for them if we needed to rehome them. Looks to me like you were trying to make quite a bit of money off a dog that was just given to you by your mother.

And your little paragraph about Rachel carrying her dogs around in carriers and it being so cheezy - you honestly should have just kept your mouth shut about that! Have you ever stopped to think that she LOVES having her babies with her all the time and that's why she carries them around with her? You making fun of those of us that take our dogs everywhere with us proves to me even further that you don't love your dog! You think of her as just a dog - your possession... Rachel is not the one that thinks of her as a possession...you do!

Do the right thing and let Lola stay with someone who truly cares about her and wants her! If you want to make money off of something, do it with something non-living. And buy your son stuffed animals from now on so you don't continue to teach him that live animals can be sold to the highest bidder and then contantly rehomed!
