My son and his family have busy lives and then they expect to bring a small dog in with 2 small children and not train everyone. Its too hard and they need to do things as they can in life. Its not all about having it all right now. We had to learn to work for what we wanted. Not spoiled and have it all and then wonder how things got in that manner. Guess the Bichon is the smartest one. The dog knows not to cross her. |
My son wanted a black lab puppy, but his wife wanted a Yorkie. I tried to talk them out of it, but obviously didn't succeed. They got Sammy when she was only six weeks old and from a BYB, I'm sure. My daughter-in-law isn't a dog lover, so Sammy's care is up to my son and granddaughter, but my son is the one who disciplines her. Sadly, my son and daughter-in-law are now in the process of getting a divorce, so Sammy's discipline/training is on hold for a while, I'm sure. My son told me that Sammy will be living with him when he moves and I think that is a good thing since he is much more likely to discipline her. My granddaughter is 11 and our concern at this time is getting through the divorce, which is amicable so far, and seeing that she is not negatively impacted. Sammy's training will just have to wait. I would like to see Sammy rehomed with someone knowledgable about Yorkies and willing and able to give her the discipline she so badly needs. I don't think there's any chance of that happening, especially since Sammy belongs to my granddaughter and her parents are divorcing. No one is going to ask my granddaughter to give up her puppy and Sammy's misbehavior will be tolerated because of that. I do think Sammy will not be permitted to spend the night at my house again because of her constant barking at my little rescue Chihuahua and my ferret. Even grandmas have to draw the line sometimes.
