thank you thank you all for your replies, I really appreciate it. I actually only got notification of the first couple, and feel badly I didn't get back to the rest of you in any way. I took a slight detour from my Yorkie search to look into grooming costs which I had learned would be about $50 per six weeks (Chicago rates), and I need to make sure I can do all this comfortably (would likely have to hire a dog walker/daycare too). I am also looking into grooming it myself and whether this would be do-able. When I do adopt, it will be for keeps, so just doing all the research. |
