For those of you not familiar with Jackson & Bear, they are my two new Yorkie pups that will be coming home soon. My ex had an unexpected litter of pups and planned to give me one. Then she decided she wanted me to have both surviving pups, my boys, Jackson and Bear. It's approaching time to bring them home and my ex is wanting them to come home a little earlier than planned.

My kids have been telling me that Jackson and Bear are driving my ex nuts. They also tell me that they're really getting on Abby's nerves a lot as well. Abby is their mother. They want to jump and pounce and play all the time and I guess they're not being the most well behaved toddlers. They were ten weeks old yesterday. They'll be twelve weeks old August 26th and the plan is for me to bring them home on Friday the 29th. My ex is not so subtly dropping hints that they're ready and how much fun it would be for them to come home and that I can bring them home if I want. Of course I want to but I want to do what is right by them even more. My concern is my ex hounding me about it. Should I cave and bring them on home this weekend, two weeks early or should I insist they stay the additional two weeks? I wouldn't bring them home before this weekend and by then they'd be closer to eleven weeks old.

I'll go along with whatever the YT consensus is. I'm looking for good advice and reason here because if I'm left to my own devices, I'll wind up listening to my heart rather than my head and will go over to pick them up later tonight! What do you think guys? Thanks for your advice and opinions.
