Thank you to everyone who posted their honest thoughts, opinions, and perspectives. I really do value your opinions as fellow Yorkie mommies and daddies! And thank you to everyone who is vehemently opposed to debarking, but expressed that opinion in a non-judgmental way. I have a horribly difficult decision to make. However, I am going to try the dog music CDs, crating her again, and moving. I have a one-year lease on my apt., so I've already asked to be able to move to an another unit in my apt. complex. I'm also looking into house rentals. I'll keep you updated. Thank you again for the concern for both Sophie's health and keeping our "family" intact.

Several people have sent me private messages about their experiences (positive and negative) having their Yorkies debarked-- thank you!!
