Yes, and no.
If my original dog had not broken his leg, I would have kept her, the problem I find with that statement, is it's too black, and white...
I wasn't set up financially to handle the care of three dogs when she had found us, well not in the sense of medical care should they all need to go to the vet, this was shown to be true when Connor had to have a titanium piece put into his leg, the cost of that alone was most of our savings.
So I had found a home for the foster, I had taken in and things were going better, but the financial aspect had me shaken up quite a bit, and realized that Betsy deserved a home that could afford all of the things we were unable to provide for her should she need medical attention, and you are right I didn't show enough responsibility to handle a Yorkie back then, I didn't even know that the vet took payment plans.
Another concern was the possibility that she could have hurt Connors leg more, but I think that was my way of coping with the fact that I was not good enough..
It has been a few months, and my ex and I have broken up, she took Connor and I have saved up enough money that I feel comfortable to really be able to take care of any vet bills that may arise, especially after the fact that the vet takes payments.
