But if you can't, I don't suggest you adopt anymore furbabies. Always leave room for a rainy day cause you never know when it will happen. Nothing hurts more than having to rehome a baby cause you have no other option.

As for the other two yorkies you were planning to take in, I'm sure the breeder will be upset, but I'm sure they will find another good home for them. In the long run, it might be better for you and the yorkies and that's what counts most.

I take care of my own bills. I am only staying with him. I still have another house. Everything that has to do with my dogs, I take care of by myself. I have never had anyone else take care of them. Everywhere I go, they go. I have never asked for a cent from my bf or my family to pay for my dogs living cost. If you have read before, I never said anything about backing out from adopting the 2. I am still planning on adopting them, but will have to be after the holidays. Thanks for your input anyways.

BTW.. my boyfriend actually seems to be okay with him now. When I told him about this post, he was actually bothered by some of the post.

Why bring into the fact that her and her bf MAY break up? Anything could happen at any moment, why focus on that? If it has something to do with the fact that her bf was a little upset that she bought home another dog, that's what some men do. My father took 3 weeks to even LOOK at Suzy, he was peeved at me because I wasn't in a "financial" situation to get a dog but I have managed. You just get by for the animals you love. If you're having issues then the people who love you will most likely support you any way they can.

On the issue of him being upset, my bf was incredibly angry at me for bringing a pet rat home after I rescued him from a pet store. (Angry at me, not the rat - he didn't take it out on the rat at all.) It took him about 24 hours before he was smitten. Men sometimes just have to take a stand on these things to cement their position in the household.

I commend you for rescuing this pup and also for the idea of giving it to your relative. We all know you can't save every one, but for every one you save it not only makes you feel great but you've also saved a life of something that cannot fend for itself.

Regarding the other two, I'm sorry to say this but if it was I who was selling Turtle and Duck I'd let you pay off the cost over a month or two or three. Forgive me if I'm out of line by saying this, I don't know the exact circumstances or if the seller needs money, but saving the life of a mis-treated Yorkie shows that addicted is truly a dog lover and I would do anything to help the two dogs that I was selling go to a woman who has shown she'll do anything for them. If it were me in that situation I'd do that, I'm not saying that the owner of Turtle and Duck is in the position to do so as I haven't read the thread...

Well... as I said my dear... I wish you nothing but the best of luck :) It just seems a bit much to me. If your already struggling (as you stated) with your businss, then common sense says that other responsibilities will probably be effected as well. Again best of luck, and hope everything works out for ya :)

That being said. If I were the person that you were going to buy the other two from, I might be upset, but I would no longer sell them to you even if you wanted them.

You took on a huge responsibility by taking this other dog, that might require a lot of expensive health care, not to mention the drain on your time and emotions.

Taking on a dog like that can be very trying, they may have some serious health issues, not to mention behavior problem.

Therefore I would feel that your situation has changed and I would not feel comfortable with your ability to give my babies the care, time and attention that I would want them to have.

Not trying to start an argument but you did state the above in your very first post. When you made a commitment to adopt turtle and ducky that should have been your priority. Hind sight is 20/20 but if you had stuck to that commitment and not gone to see "man" then there wouldn't be an issue at all. I can't say I blame the people you were adopting Turtle and Ducky from if they are upset, I would think after seeing you write that you don't know if you can adopt them that they wouldn't want to rehome them with you.

Anyway, i'm sure that everything will fall into place and you will do fine with your new yorkie, I just hope that Turtle and Ducky find a great home very soon.

Your only mistake in this situation was thinking you have friends on here to vent to. If you do indeed have friends on here... pm them about stuff like this. People get evil, vicious, condescending, and judgemental on here. You can't bring up anything that has to do w/ emotions if it has a slight chance of someone taking another view. One person will pounce and others will jump on the bandwagon. The great thing about this site is people are extremely knowledgable. There are interesting posts, fun posts and even scarey posts. But if you say anything heart felt and you want support... if it is even slightly controversial... get ready... you will only get hurt. There are so many great people... but so many just want to feel better about themselves by running people down. My husband ... took the same view as your boyfriend when I was having problems... and I actually got what I wanted in the end of that too because of the viciousness. lol

So... remember... pick and choose your "friends" wisely and don't ask for opinions and unless you are truly ready for all of them....lol!

Good luck. I hope all the dogs find the right home... w/ you or through you... I can tell you really care.

I don't think anyone was mean at all. Everyone gave their opinions which was what I thought people do on an open forum. I certainly know when I post something personal venting or asking for advice I will get many different responses both good and bad.

People can still be your friends without agreeing with your choices or telling you only things you want to hear. I know that my *best* friends are the ones who honestly give me their opinion from the goodness of their heart whether I want to hear it or not.

If I would choose to get defensive about their advice, I'd miss the points they were trying to make.

I really wish the OP the best of luck in the situation. I don't think there are any evil or vicious people on YT :confused:

Addicted is making a life long decision here. She only signed the contract 8 days before she got the new pup. The owners of the other 2 kept her hanging at least that long. She can't pay for the other 2 until after the holidays anyway so the owners have plenty of time to find them new homes before they ever expected to be paid. I personally would not make a decision to take 2 dogs into my home if I had any second thoughts at all- yes even if I had signed a contract. It's a very big decision and a lifelong commitment. And again, the owners can list them again here (free) and probably sell them and be paid before they would have been paid by addicted. As far as her BF being upset, he had agreed to 2 more dogs. There is a big difference between bringing 2 new dogs into your home and 3 new dogs. I just don't agree with the idea that since she signed the contract she is obligated to follow through if she isn't 100%. Its not fair to addicted and its not fair to the dogs. These are not special needs dogs and the owners would have no trouble finding a new home for Turtle and Duckie. It's not like they've been holding them for her for months.
