Reading all of this made me sad. I hope you will stay around. I joined yorkietalk months before I got a puppy. I loved talking to yorkie owners and viewing yorkie pictures even when I didn't have the dog yet. I will be praying for your situation. I understand about having hubby on board...it makes life easier. I wouldn't have gotten Copper either if my hubby would not go along with it. It wasn't about asking permission, it is about respect for each other. I will be thinking of you.
