It is not the inexperience as much as the way certain things do not seem to be viewed as wrong. The lack of preparation even after being a 14 year yorkie owner, suggests less interest in becoming knowlegable than should be the case. Even at 17 yr old, you were concerned about leaving a pregnant dog alone and turned around, came back, and probably saved the life of the other pup and maybe the mom too. That is the sort of dedication and compassion one looks for in a post before considering offering breeding suggestions. I know the printed word does not always convey true emotion but I can usually see "heart" when and if it is there.
The only cceptble advice that anyone can give the OP is to spay the mom. |
I have a lot of respect for what you just said. and I don't mean to come of as being hateful myself. I understand everyones concerns I really do and I thank you for writing back to me as nicely as you did bc I know when someone is passionate about something emotions can get high. I know that I should have done more in my situation and I'm just tring to put my self in their shoes and at that time in my life when my baby girls pup passed away and I was upset and heartbroken, and I'm just thinking that if that just happened and i was on YT asking for advice and these were some of the responces I got I would prob be sobbing right now. I did get my little girl spayed after that, as though this person might end up at the same conclusion. It could be that they are defensive maybe bc they are emotional right now and not thinking clearly or that they may feel as though they can learn alot from this expericnce. I don't know I am not them but like I said before my heart did go out to them bc of the whole situation. and I fully respect your view and how nicely you put it. I was expecting to get a backlashing my self for try to stand up for them but my felt like it was something I have to do and I hope that you can respect me for that to.
