I understand everyones passion, heart and wisdom that have gone into the responses so I am learning and paying attention to each of them.
So thank you all. As for home date, it will depend on when Riley is ready and I know he will have more chance of a great start cause of this thread and the advice given here. I can't walk away from him, I won't even apologize for that weakness. I would frankly rather deal with the loss of respect that I will get from a few you than undo my promise to him. It has been a couple weeks since I met him I think and yet I can still remember the way he felt in my hands and the look on his face. I was already bonded and I can't help that now.
That being said IF I ever consider myself able to have another yorkie, I will be going to a YT recommended breeder and make sure he/she is 12 wks and everything else I have learned here will be followed to the letter. |
Sounds like you've got it all covered sweetie. Good luck and I absolutely cannot wait to see pictures of little Riley! We'll be counting down those days with you and get all excited for you. We will be here for you when you need us to both celebrate and pray for things, whatever your needs may be. Good luck and have lots and lots of pictures ready.
