Why bring into the fact that her and her bf MAY break up? Anything could happen at any moment, why focus on that? If it has something to do with the fact that her bf was a little upset that she bought home another dog, that's what some men do. My father took 3 weeks to even LOOK at Suzy, he was peeved at me because I wasn't in a "financial" situation to get a dog but I have managed. You just get by for the animals you love. If you're having issues then the people who love you will most likely support you any way they can.

On the issue of him being upset, my bf was incredibly angry at me for bringing a pet rat home after I rescued him from a pet store. (Angry at me, not the rat - he didn't take it out on the rat at all.) It took him about 24 hours before he was smitten. Men sometimes just have to take a stand on these things to cement their position in the household.

I commend you for rescuing this pup and also for the idea of giving it to your relative. We all know you can't save every one, but for every one you save it not only makes you feel great but you've also saved a life of something that cannot fend for itself.

Regarding the other two, I'm sorry to say this but if it was I who was selling Turtle and Duck I'd let you pay off the cost over a month or two or three. Forgive me if I'm out of line by saying this, I don't know the exact circumstances or if the seller needs money, but saving the life of a mis-treated Yorkie shows that addicted is truly a dog lover and I would do anything to help the two dogs that I was selling go to a woman who has shown she'll do anything for them. If it were me in that situation I'd do that, I'm not saying that the owner of Turtle and Duck is in the position to do so as I haven't read the thread...

Thank you so much for understanding what I am going through. Of course my bf is upset. He always gets upset when I bring home a new pet. Then he gets so attached to them. I do love ALL animals. I really didn't want to leave "man" behind. I don't think that I was supporting the BYB because he was there to breed. I didn't buy a puppy from him.. I saved a breeding dog from him. Thanks so much Lilium for your input!
