MY heart was broken into a million pieces. She snapped and almost bit Ace snout off several times, she wouldnt let us pet her (she would growl and snap), she bit me when I was trying to groom her, she has almost nipped my three year old daughter and she was just petting her in my lap. She was fine with me. She didnt act like that when it was just me and her, and the older kids are off to school, Hubby at work, younger ones taking a nap and Ace off doing his own thing.

I tried to give her lots of attention, tried to work with her (i sat at home) by doing the things that some fellow YTer's suggested but with no luck.
She just has a temperment that is made for her to be the only one. (and I cant say that I dont want more Yorkies!!!)
Unfortunately my husband just isnt as patient as I am but to tell you the truth I was running out of it myself.
I was worried about Ace because none the less it seem like he did everything he could to get along with her. I know he liked her. I was afraid of what he would do after she was gone. Would he be sad?
I screened the families that took an interest. I finally had found a nice gentlmen who was looking for a Yokie for his wife. I made sure to tell him about her agression. Still, he was interested. As he walked out of the house with her, my heart dropped to the pit of my stomach and I cried as he drove away with her.
I have kept in contact with them to see how Arizona was doing and they said she was great!!! They havent had any problems with her at all and she has not regressed in her potty training.
As for Ace, he seems very happy. He is still as playful as ever. He is eating great. I havent seen any sign of him missing her. He is doing really well. Im a bit relieved that he seems just fine.
Im sorry this is so long, but I had to talk about it. What makes me happy is that the ppl she went to have sent pics and emails about her and it seems as though we plan to get keep in touch.
While I feel a little heaviness in my heart, I know this was for the best.
IT is all my fault though, i Have to admit I bought Arizona without putting any thought to it. I didnt ask the right questions. Didnt observe her at all to see what she was like. We did all these for Ace but when it came to Arizona it was a quick exchange and we were off with her.
Im sorry this is soo long, I did what i thought was best even though it truly broke my heart.
Thanks for listening guys!! |
I completely feel your heart break. In our search for a yorkie, before we found Tyler, we had bought a beautiful, yet tiny, female yorkie. Unbeknown to us the breeder failed to mention a few things about her health to us.
I fell in love with her. COMPLETELY in love. The next morning she was lying in her kennel unresponsive to me. We rushed her to our vet thinking it was sugar shock but that was just ONE problem. The vet said it was nothing that I had done and that she had been sick for several days prior to our purchasing her. In fact, she was quite irate that we had been sold such a sick puppy.
We had to make the decision to keep her, not guaranteed that she would even survive and, if she did, she would not have 100% quality of life and MANY MANY vet bills or send her back to the breeder.
It broke my heart but I know it was the right thing to do to send her back. I never called them again to see how she was because I couldn't take it if she had not made it.
I like to think that all this happened because I was meant to find Tyler (: Blessings come in very mysterious ways (:
