This is a situation many people on this board seem to be responding to on an emotional level but are not looking at the big picture. Things happen in life. I don't think anyone is disputing that. I do not know the woman that is trying to find a home for her Yorkies but like I said earlier Yorkies are desirable and it should not be too hard to find homes for them.

This is the 3rd time this week that I've run across someone looking to give away their pets. Someone I know wants to give away her Pit Bull because her bf doesn't like the dog and someone else I spoke to is giving away their cats because they are having a baby.

I really think that people need to think long and hard before they commit to animals because situations can and do change and when they do will you still be able to cafe for your animals? Give them a home? Pay for vet bills and food? If you are giving away a pet because your man doesn't like it, you have decided to have kids, or you can't afford to live on your own you should never have got the animal in the first place.

Unfortunately, with the current economy I believe this will become even more of an issue. Honestly, it makes me very sad to see animals taken from their homes and turned over to shelters. Yorkies will find homes but many others will meet their end in the shelters.

I am just asking people to think logically and be responsible. Like I said, I don't know this woman or her situation but I do know that I would *never* give one of my animals up. I would find a way to make things work.

Call that negative or accuse me of having attitude. I don't care. Sometimes the truth hurts and from what I've seen over the years more people need to hear it.
