I have two 6 year old Yorkies who are brother and sister, they've been my babies for the last 6 years. I've had the female a year longer (my mom had the male until he was about a year old). They are both very lovable, love to snuggle and be close. I'm not able to do this now with the baby. The female especially is making me nervous with our new baby. She can be a bit territorial, and is very close to me especially. My husband is getting very frustrated with the situation and thinks that re-homing them is really the only choice. 
Does anyone have any advice? I can't begin to explain how depressed I am at the thought of having to give up my fur babies, but need to make sure my little one is safe and that they are also happy (which I really don't think they are right now). :'(
Obviously, the home would have to have no children. I also want to make sure if we re-home them, that they go to someone who knows and understands Yorkies...
If anyone is looking or knows someone in the NE area (I will not put them on a plane) please message me. I can provide additional information, pictures, etc... |
Actually I think I can help. I work in a medical office. I had a pt that has a beautiful little female Yorkie, When the Yorkie was about 4 yrs old the pt and her husband finally decided to have a baby. well when the baby was finally born they came into our office and of course i asked them how there Yorkie was getting along with the baby they said not good, the Yorkie was very depressed at times and very yappy at other times , she had mood swings and so on. I told them that this was new to the dog and she will get used to the baby crying and all. I guess when the baby cried that's when there Yorkie would get upset ..
So on the babies 6 month ck up I asked how the dog was doing and they said great .. it just took time for the yorkie to get used to the change in the house... and let me tell you this was one spoiled Yorkie so at first they thought they were going to have to re home her with a house with no kids it was that bad.. So please give her time I don't mean weeks I mean months to get used to the new change in the house..
I hope this help and gives you some hope
