I agree, take it from me, getting out on your own is harder then you'd think. I totally understand where you are coming from but I see your mothers point of view as well. Living on your own is tough, things happen that you'd never expect to happen, all the sudden you have to deal with all of these things that you never had to deal with before and money seems to literally evaporate into thin air.
I'm lucky enough that I am able to work from home the majority of the day most of the time and I attend college online. The longest I'm ever gone for work is about 2-3 hours and when I am gone Jaden is a total mess! He's completely changed my entire life (not that I'm complaining) but its a big responsability when you are on your own. Its not like living at home and even if you think you have an "idea" of what it will be like, once your there its completely different, at least it was for me.
I'm not trying to be a downer here, I know how much you want her and I'm really rooting for you, just trying to let you know how tough it is, especially if you have to find a job and its your first time away from home.
Also, something to consider is your Mother might not help you get your appartment if you have another yorkie. If she already doesn't like/want the one you have she'll probably think if you can afford to get another yorkie, why can't you afford to pay for your own appartment? You might be better off waiting a few months until you're settled and have found a job and have been on your own for a little while and then consider getting another yorkie. In the mean time you could consider putting Teddy in some type of Doggy daycare if you didn't want him to be by himself or recording your voice on a tape or maybe you could drop him off at a friend or relatives house while you work.
Really hope things work out for you hun!
Big Hugs!! |
