I was "just looking" on kijiji, an found locally a 7 month spayed female yorkie whose owner wants to rehome her. I have been considering getting another. Allie is doing very well with her potty pads and is becoming quite a good little dog. She is not destructive, not that much of a barker, friendly....I am very happy with her but why do I have that need to get another? Why isn't she enough for me
Anyway, I phoned the person and asked why do you want to rehome her? Her answer was she was pottying all over the house and inside her crate. She sounded very frustrated. I asked where did you get her from , she said petland.
She told me that he is 4lbs and up to date on shots and healthy. ( I would have her checked out by my vet) It made me sad to think of a puppy in a home where she isn't wanted because someone hasn't took the time to train her. The lady said that she had 2 shih tzus and wasn't going to do the pad thing. She was asking 500.00 for her and my husband ( being the negotiator that he is) said would you take 400.00, she said yes. I couldnt believe that she would want to get rid of her, because I am sooo attached to Allie how can anyone else do this!
I guess my main concern is that when I brought Allie home I was off work for a couple of weeks so she could get adjusted. I start back to work tom. after being off for 12 days for spring break. I would not be able to spend the time durning the day with her ( I leave @6:50 am I'm home by 3:30) and would have to keep them separated when I'm not there ( with an ex-pen) I'm off for the summer but still have 2 months left to work. If she has behavioral/training issues would it only make it worse me not being there durning the day?
I just keep imagining her being yelled at (or worse) for doing what she hasn't been trained to do...
Thanks for listening
