I think man is adorable and I see why you wanted him I would have too.
I don't know about the post with turtle and duckie


BUT I believe you wanted him more than the other two you committed yourself to because if you had 700 dollars for bills you blew on this pup it could have easily went to turtle and duckie.and on the ad post the dog looks nice and clean to me.we all know they will get a little ruffled when playing and what are you going to do wash them every day. maybe some do but I don't think its good for the skin.my dogs don't look show ready everyday but that does not mean they are not cared for.and to how dirty they were when you got there well only you know that and you would have a point but you took money with the intent to get him.I say just tell it like it is.I would have done the same if I liked one better but I would have just said so and took the heat.


To you bf my hubby was against any animals but we started with one cat and now I have two cats and two aduls and three pups he love them all but accepts them in his home because he loves me.do I think thats a little selfish? YES:D but well you know

I am sorry that is why I changed it.I can't stop laughing I thought I got away clean and noone was the wiser.I really am happy for you. as I stated through the post I think he is gorgeous and I would have just had to have him too.some times we opinated people put our foot where we don't want them but I agree I love this site because we can be open and honest if not why bother.

Don't get *addicted* to something you can't handle. Although it is nice that you rescued him, you are also helping a BYB keep his business going while your own is barely making it during the holidays. I'm not saying you're a hoarder, but this might be the start of it if you don't think about the reprecussions.

Also, your boyfriend is an important person in your life. You don't want to hurt a relationship over a new dog in addition to the ones you already have and need to take care of.

Although it is not necessary to get the other two yorkies, think about who is going to help you out instead of adding to your liabilities...Your boyfriend is already very understanding about you getting two adult yorkies. You need to realize that an unexpected fifth, and one that you can hardly support and pay for, is going to really put you under. Had you not gone to see the poor puppy, you would still have $700 in you pocket so that YOU can get by.

Although I completely applaud you for rescuing the little guy, you also have to think about yourself and if you'll have enough for your business, employees, family, and holidays.

In the end, it's your decision. But I wish you luck and lots of love!!!

I have been going through so much. I had the flu for the past week. Yesterday I just found out one of my close friend had just passed and he was only 23. He left behind 2 young boys and a wife, whom is my cousin. I can't even think about my whole dilemma now. I've been grieving, but didn't want to involve others on Yorkietalk, so I never said anything. It hurts so much to keep it to yourself. The holidays are just barely ending. My financial state hasn't changed much. The last time I talked to the owner of Turtle and Duckie, they said they're planning on keeping them. I haven't spoken with them since. I'm still very sorry about the whole situation. I really didn't mean to upset anyone. As for "Man"... I had given him the name "Chance". I really think that names suits him. I have decided not to give him to my Aunt because I thought about their schedules and it wouldn't work out. I have been rehabilitating Chance for the past month. I must say, he is doing quite well. He already picked up the new name. He is not as timid as before. Another YT member has inquired information on taking him. I think Chance has fully recovered. I will keep in contact with this member. As for now, I can't even think about my problems. My friends and family are going through a hard time right now. This is so surreal. Thanks for checking up.

I understand where you are coming from and like others have said only you know what you can do but I can tell you this - I am on the board of my local Humane Society and I ended up with quite a few cats because they were abused or going to be put down, etc. It got to the point that all my money not going for bills was going to the care of the cats and if my vet had not been very understanding I don't know what would have happened. I ended up in a real mess but I had made them my responsibility and it was years of me doing without so much - I am not sorry but I am much more careful now about what I do. As they became elderly and passed away I did not get another one and now thank goodness I have gotten control of my life again. I still have a couple of very healthy cats and I have my two yorkies and that's it. I learned a very hard lesson that I can't save them all. I am not saying this could happen to you but you really need to think about how much you can afford and if they get sick the vet bills could run very high.
