Hi All,
I think this story and all of you have taught me a major lesson before anything was done. First of all, for those who don't know me yet I'm Nicole
I just got my first Yorkie...first dog for that matter...a little over a month ago. She's 3+ months now.
Number one: (please don't yell at me
) I bought her in a pet store. I had NO NO NO idea what a puppy mill was, and never heard of it. I know, I didn't do my research first. My fault. Trust me, I know better now! I did TONS of research after the fact. Better late than never, right?
Number two: So far I have learned a lot on this site about how to take better care of my Baby, i.e. Lepto shots, biting, etc.
And Number three: The big lesson learned here (besides the puppymills), I'm not going to allow my Baby to have babies. She's not a tiny/teacup/whatever cutsie wootsie name they give these puppies. So far she's 4.5lbs. The reason I wanted to "get her pregnant" was so that I can give her company without paying a fortune for another puppy. How selfish was that??? I'm not a breeder and don't want to have to go through any heartbreak like this...especially if I don't know what I'm doing. Then what about the other pups? I know myself, I probably wouldn't want to give any up! I must have been crazy! Thank God I read posts on here first. I've decided to spay her at 6 months and eventually get her a companion. So you should all be greatful you straighten my behind out!!
PS. Once again...sorry about Tinkerbell and her babies.
