I know that you must feel trapped in your situation. It sounds like your Yorkie is hper-protective of you and has taken that protectiveness one step too far. I sincerely hope that you are able to get everything resolved. Have you talked to you son? Perhaps you could check about assisted living facilities - many of those allow dogs.
Good luck to you. I will keep you close to my heart and in my prayers. Please keep us updated, 'cause we will worry about you. |

It doesn't sound like your DIL is working with you on this. Please try to talk to your son about this situation. Also, if nothing changes, check into an assisted living facility. There's one where I live that allows the people living there to have their pet.
I'll be praying for your situation to improve................. God bless you.
