I'm not in your shoes so I don't what you're going through, however despite your good intention, I don't think it's the right time for you to adopt more babies. God forbid, but what if you and your bf broke up. Would you be financially capable to handle all the yorkies on your own? If the answer is yes, then do what your heart desire. 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.
