My sons are all grown up now and older than me...I am just 26...  ...but I got my first Yorkie (Yorkie-Poo), a rescue, when I was a kid in about the 7th grade and lost him to a car...thanks to a bumhead letting him out the front door while I was not home (I have NEVER recovered from THAT!)...when my first child was three (3) years old.
I had to buy him a hard kennel and fly him home to stay with my mother temporarily once...I cannot tell you what THAT did to me, either...and went back across the country to drive him home with me after moving, but I would NEVER have considered ditching my first, furry, baby for my second, human, one.
I was raised by a 16-year-old cat...my first child by an 8-year-old Yorkie-Poo. We moved to Germany after the birth of my second child...he was three (3) days old in his passport photo, taken on his way home from the hospital following his birth (they don't accept ultrasound photos for passports )...and I would have taken Stormy with me and would have agonized over the time he would have had to spend in quarantine just to enter the country. I regret that my second child never had a chance to know Stormy, and I treasure all the lovely photos of my fur-baby and my first skin-baby together.
What is it they say, "Mean people suck"...I guess they are right !

I agree with you, but that's exactly why we Yorkietakers need to realize that some people do think this way, and maybe we could help educate before the purchase. I actually think the people who stay on YT are the exceptional pet parents.
But not everyone think as we do. I don’t want to criticize anyone for making this decision, there may be more going into it than we realize, but what I’m saying is that this happens all the time, and I was just trying to figure out a way we could help educate so that young women think about this before buying a yorkie. I don’t want to “guilt” anyone into keeping their dog, a dog is a gift from God, in my opinion, and should be treated like the treasure it is.
