I would rehome this tiny yorkie , I think bringing home a very small puppy into a family that has problems, is a very bad idea. This puts the dog in danger . Referring to a child as "The Kid" tells how bad the situation is . It could be years until the child is mature enough to handle a small dog , and obey the family rules. Your husband is not helpful , which places the burden on you. I would put all my energy and time into straighting out your son . Sometimes it is not the right time to add a new dog into the family especially a tiny one who has "special needs" It only makes the family problems worse. the stress you must feel everyday about this little dogs safety must be difficult If you could give the puppy back to the breeder it would be the best thing to do. I think it is best for the dog because your not going to be always with the pup 24/7. If your son accidently dropped her while playiny "airplane" it could kill her, then how will that be? Their are too many risks having a tiny dog in this family as much as you love her, do what is best for this dog and focus your energy on your son.
