Sadie will be going to the vet for her first check-up only four hours after she comes home. So for those that were advising that and were concerned, we have that one taken care of. We're not stupid and we're not inhumane here, we know how to take care of our puppy. Not to mention i've still been on here everyday reading and learning.

As far as the comments about the drive, i'm glad that some of you would have the time and money to make that kind of a trip and i respect that you have those abilities and can do that. I am gone for work a total of 10 hours every day with lunch and drive time. My husband works 40++ hours a week and almost all weekends. We cannot and will not drive 4 hours out of our busy lives to check a breeder's home that we have met in person and seen puppies playing and thriving in person and that we have spoken to multiple reference (in person) about. They are making the drive to us (not because they don't want us to see their facility) but because their daughter lives 20 min. away and it was easier for them due to them both being retired and not working to make the trip.

Stop harassing me please about this subject, I CAN'T travel right now. I've already missed a lot of work a couple of weeks ago from being ill and in the hospital, i can't afford to miss more work, i'm an intern, so i have no vacation time, no sick leave, and no pay other than the hours my butt is in this chair. sorry but your suggestions are not reasonable for my life right now.

And i'm sure someone will read this and think (they are gone too long for a yorkie in the home) well we work opposite hours, he works late afternoon and nights, i work early morning and days, so actually we make a perfect home for a puppy because one of us is almost always home...and when it's me alone at night, i need something to occupy my mind and my time, a warm, wiggly bundle of love to help me feel comforted and not so lonely.

so please people, if you do not have well wishes and reasonable advice for us to follow about taking care of or bringing home our baby, please keep you comments to yourselves.

Thanks,
Michael and Rachel
