From the description of the woman's house, it sounds very similar to my father's living condition. He doesn't have a sense of cleanliness nor hygiene and I have to live with him. Luckily, I have my room (he sleeps in living room) so I have a door to isolate myself from the filth. My dad COULD NEVER own a dog, and the woman you described reminded me of him. I mean, I am not the cleanest person, but at least I don't have trash and urine stains on the carpet, I just have lots of stuff. Despite all that, I have form a section for my two yorkies to play in comfortably and they have a stair that allow them access to my bed. Thus, from what I've read, I don't think this lady is eligible to take care of your baby. What did her yorkie look like? Was her yorkie matted and look like she needed some TLC? In addition, I feel that her not allowing you to see your dog because "she's adjusting" is BS + shady. If I were to adopt a yorkie and the previous owner wanted to see her, I would let her because I know it's hard for both the dog and previous owner. For instance, I bought my yorkie from a breeder and I sent her pictures of him so she knows he is taken care of. With her not letting you see her, I sense something is seriously wrong. I wish you best of luck!! Your situation is not entirely your fault so don't be too harsh on yourself. I could see myself in your position, however, my bf and I made a promise with each other that we will never give up our yorkies when we got them. A couple years back, I had to give up my chorkie and the family was my aunt's church friend. They lost the dog TWICE after ONLY having him for LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!! Unfortunately, the second time, they didn't find him and I didn't even sense that they really cared. TO THIS DAY, it still pissed me off and I still hold myself for it. It is a mistake I would never repeat. Sorry for going on and on, but I pray that everything work out and your baby return safely in your hands. I totally understand financial difficulties, don't feel alone, me and along with many others are also experiencing it. I would recommend keeping her since you've had her for 11 years! I think it's truly an amazing experience to own a dog for its entire life. Best of luck and keep us posted please!
