Lori,
I can understand how hard it is to keep up with three elderly dogs with declining health needs each month , and not financially able to.
I have 2 , 0ne is a shih tzu and the other is a yorkie. I am a single parent, on a fixed income.
My 2 girls both need to be spayed. Their are now been behaviorial issues of aggression between them . The yorkie needs to be updated on her shots too.
I just got out of the hospital too. Stayed in the hospital over a month , recovering at home now , and not 100% well physically either .
My 2 dogs , what happened ? the yorkie has turned into Cujo since I have been gone. Attacking the younger shih tzu , and scaring me to death. My health brings me in no condition to break up a dog fight all the time.
my yorkie was given a bath while I was ill .Now she is matted. I can't clip her until I have full use of my arms . I am so upset .
My beautifil 2 dogs had changed , and I feel helpless. I feel I have to protect the younger more vulnerable dog from serious injury . She is 8 months old, the yorkie not even 2 yrs old .
We have completely kept the a part from each other. I have vowed to do everything in my power to get this turned around .
I feel a deep commitment towards my 2 girls, and a helpless feeling too , because I am not 100% able to deal with their issues.
You love all 3 of your animals , it is aparent . I would allow the yorkie rescue lady to help you, and make financial arrangements to pay her back .
I believe our dogs do become very attatched to their owners, expeically when they have been lovingly cared for all their lives. All 3 of those precious dogs are yours , always and forever will be.
Their is a attatchment and bond they have with you , as well as u do have with them. Dogs are accutely aware and sensitive to their owners and these are your 3 lovely dogs no matter what decisions you need to make for them.
Their health comes first . money is an issue for me as well, however , we do what it takes for them . Just take care of your needs first .
Work something out with the yorkie rescue lady . And bring back home your dogs, they need to be with you, and you need to be with them.
