just need to vent a bit My neighbor, and friends, lost their little Lhasa back in January. They were going to wait until a couple of years as they like to travel. My friend was diagnosed with breast cancer a month ago...she is only 42 yrs old. They got is all out but she still needs radiation....she decided that not being able to travel and go out (clubbing) that now would be the time for a puppy....She was going to surprise me (by not telling me) that she was buying a Yorkie. I found out before she bought him and discussed the pros and cons of the breed. I pretty much begged her to research the breed before she decided to buy him....Well....that fell on deaf ears! Low and behold she bought a male puppy....She is SO excited!!!! which I can't blame her....She asked me over to see him.....She originally told me he was 8 weeks old....HE'S NOT! He is only 6 WEEKS OLD!!!I think the look on my face said it all....She was NOT prepared for this little guy at all!! she didn't even have food for him when she got home! NO crate, bed NOTHING!! I wanted to choke her!! I brought over an x pen for him to sleep in (in side their house) the first night he was home. I am letting them borrow my crate and let her borrow 2 of my Yorkie books so she can at least get an idea of what they are in for. She takes him EVERYWHERE with her...which isn't a bad thing but...again....he is only 6 weeks old! I told her about nutrical...she didn't get any. They went to Boston yesterday for the parade...they took the puppy with them. My husband told me to talk to her....he told me I will feel horrible if something happens to him....She just won't listen! The pup seems to be in good health...she hasn't taken him for a vet check yet either...She bought him from a woman that had 4 of them she only paid 400.00 for him. They want a dog that is going to potty outside all the time...doesn't want a dog that is "vocal"...we all know yorkies are hard to housetrain and are VERY vocal....I told her if it doesn't work out for them that I will take him...I am just very worried about this little guy...
Sorry about the long post but I just needed to vent this to people that would understand
Thank you everyone
