I know none of you know me, obviously I'm new. I'm stuck in a rut, and saw this forum and I thought all of the knowledgeable people could help.
So long story short... My name is Rachael, and live in NY. I'm a huge animal lover, and go to college for Zoology. Here's where my story begins: In november I had a minpin, named Chloe, she was literally the love of my life. She went every where with me, and I ate, slept, and breathed for her. In november, A yellow lab got out, and before I could react, the lab got a hold of her and killed her, immediately. It still brings tears to my eyes thinking about it.
Later, I met up with a friend who I haven't seen in awhile. We went to her house, where I saw she bred Yorkies (registered). Of course, I fell in love and bought one. I still ache from my loss of Chloe, but this dog has helped alot with my anxiety and has kept me very busy. Immediately I was attached. Then a few days after buying her, my car was smashed into by a drunk driver and totaled.. this year has been a total mess.
Because of my car being totaled and other things, financially, I could not afford to live on my own anymore, and had to move back in with my father (whos girlfriend just moved in, and hates dogs). He told me that I couldn't move in if I had a dog. So even longer story short, we fought, bad. When I get a pet, I get one forever and it kills me to even think about giving her up. I don't want to ruin the relationship between my father and I, over a dog, but then again she's not just /a dog/.
Sooo I don't know what to do.
