I don't want to give the girls away but I feel like someone else can probably give them a better home. Maybe my mind can be changed.
1. Yes, I have friends and relatives that would probably take them as a favor to me....but none of them are yorkie owners. Which translates that they have no idea what sweet, loving, devoted, smart, funny little characters they are. I don't want them to be somewhere because I was owed a favor. I want them to be somewhere where they will be loved and taken care of. That is why I came to YT.
2. Yes, I can find housing that will accept pets. I am having to take a second job to pay all the expenses that I haven't been paying....rent, utilities, rental insurance etc... With 2 daughters in college I am stretched as far as I can be. So working 10-14 hours a day, when do I have time to devote to my fur babies? They are used to having their own room, and it is theirs to do with as they please. They won't have that in a rental and would have to be kept in a pen all day in case they decide to chew (they do that very rarely now, but you never know). So what kind of live would they have? I live in a small town so puppy care is not available.
3. To the member who insinuated I was trying to recoup the money that I have spent... I don't recall saying anything about money but I am smart enough to know that I could NEVER get back the money I have invested in them nor do I care to. I have to drive 100 miles each way just to purchase the dog food, treats and puppy pads they use. My husband is a race car driver so we traveled in a motor home constantly from March - November. So we purchased everything in duplicate so we didn't have to keep carrying things back and forth. In November, we are gone 3 weeks to Florida, which means 21 outfits for each baby, since we can't do laundry. Sasha, the smallest was bumped by a car one night last November. I rushed her to a emergency hospital for animals in Little Rock where it cost me 1100.00 to have tests run on her. (She is fine now). They go to the groomer monthly at 120.00 a trip. I could go on and on, just trying to get my point across.
Didn't mean to be so long winded, but my feelings were hurt by some of these people. Thanks everyone for your messages & support and please know that I won't just give my girls to anyone that wants them. I realize that I probably won't find anyone that will spoil them like I do ( I know I go overboard sometimes) but I know I can find them a good home somewhere. |
Sorry, my babies walked across the keyboard before I was finished with my previous post but at least some of it came through. They somehow have figured out how to step on the exact right keys that make everything go absolutely nuts so I had to start over. It's not their first time and I doubt it will be their last.
Your life has hit a rough patch right now and in the end it might work out better than you think. Give yourself time and let things works themselves out and see what needs to be done. When this situation came up for me I was stressing badly but in the end things worked out better than I could have imagined at the time. I understand you want to do the best thing for your babies if you feel it would be a necessary move. Putting their needs above your own is what a good momma does even when it breaks our hearts. Just give it time and if they have to spend a little less time with mommy for a while but they will understand and will love you the same. Cry when you need to cry, scream when you need to scream, lean on others when you need some support, and remember... this too shall pass.
I'm so sorry you were hurt by some people, but I hope you felt more than anything else the support of so many others.
