Since some of you are so very curious, this poor woman is recently divorced. She has two children….one with special needs. None of her dogs are kept in kennels, I believe she has around 6. She also has several parrots which she has rescued and even built a parrot facility above her garage just for them. She has been a great pet owner, and has breed yorkies for some time now. Lilly getting pregnant was a complete accident, we were expecting just to pick her up after the divorce was final, but things do happen.
She’s just overwhelmed right now. She has to deal with an ex-husband who left her for another woman. She has to sell her house. She has to figure out the best future for all of her animals. Then let’s throw a job and children into the mix.
We are trying to do right by this little girl and her puppies. Neither us or her are willing to risk any of them. I came here hoping for advice, and I believe some of it was good….but unfortunately the anonymity of the internet allows people to throw stones. |
I hope I didn't offend you with any questions or suggestions
The best bet would be at least 4 weeks before you move, at this point the pups can provide more of their own body heat and it is not
as critical with mama's milk is not
as necessary. If you have a chance, go visit mama and pups a few times (i know it could get expensive) so she becomes comfortable with you around and socialization of the pups can continue.
