Yet, trixie is a very small yorkie. they should know better and go to a shelter. the shelter fees here in pa is 120. that includes spade, and vacinations, plus flea treatments. I try to get one from the shelter myself, (yorkie) but they turn me down, because I have a child, who by the way has proved herself to be very gentle with my animals.trixie and her sleep together, all three of us in the same bed. Still, I think people with children, Should not have one, unless, there is an adult in the house 24/7, there is only one child, who has more animals in the house, and is used to them. The person must prove that she or him is capable of paying vet bills. |
I need to add that the children thing is not always 100%.. and I think a dog is better off with children in the family then sitting in a kill shelter..
M nephew who is like a younger brother to me.. brought up three children from young babies.. with a yorkie.. that dog died of old age.. I do not worry about the children.. I worry about the parents.. for they are who makes it a good home for both their children and there pets..It is no guarantee that due to having children means a yorkie is not meant for you.. my grandsons.. both of them grew up with my dogs.. sleeping with them, falling asleep on the carpet with a yorkie cuddled to them.. my youngest grandson now 14 years old is the most gentle child in this world with yorkies..he was taught how to hold them.. when not to hold them, and how to walk when they are on the floor..My sister had the brother to her son's yorkie, and again her grandchildren were always there at her house, or she was at their house with her yorkie.. the two dogs. always knew each other and were glad to be together..
my opinion only... anne
