Her owner was honest by telling me this and she revealed that her breeder had not been completely honest with her when she purchased her … she was also kind enough to offer to refund the cost of my plane ticket if I decided not to take her….
I know that yorkies can be prone to some health problems, especially the smaller ones … I just don’t know what to do with this information!!! I'm so disappointed, but I had already started to think of her as my furbaby!!! Also, I have a health issue myself that may require surgery, so I feel terrible with the idea of rejecting a furbaby because of a health issue … oh, I'm so confused!!!
I don’t want to just think with my heart here, I want to use my head, but I'm having some trouble flipping that brain switch right now … PLEASE HELP!!!
Any opinions would be appreciated…. |
Leave the heart out of it for the time being. Just use the brain. Consider $2,000 or more for the surgery and the extra care that will be required of you for her. Are you ready, willing, able to provide this plus the plane ticket?
