I have decided...
 

I am not going to take the male puppy that I saw today :(

After speaking with my mom and really thinking about everything going on its just not the right time...

My main concern from the beginning was Sammi's reaction...I paid alot of attention to Kasey tonight (my mom's maltese) and Sammi wasnt very happy with that...So it was kinda like my test...When I would hold Kasey then put him down she would go over and pounce on him then jump up on my lap...She was acting weird...She growled at him alot, she even scratched his nose!! Very unlike her...

The other reason was, my dad just started his new treatment for his Kidney Cancer...So it makes him very weak and tired...Right now Kasey and Sammi are VERY well behaved during the day (usually do not bark unless they hear something, they sleep all day, etc) so I am worried if I bring a puppy home it might disrupt the peace during the day...And he does need rest...So I must consider him also...

Of course it was very tough especially considering I spent 45 mins with him today (imagine in 45 mins that little guy getting to me!!) but I do think it was the right decision for now...

I know one day I will have another Yorkie that will bring me as much love and joy as Sammi does :)

Thank you for all your well wishes...I will save them all for next time!!

Lots of Love and Hugs!
Fran

That's so considerate of you with your dad - it must have been a hard decision to make but it IS a big change getting a puppy - you can still dream and one day will be the right time -

I bet Sammi would actually get used to a new baby ...it took Chanel about 2 months but they do adjust - lol...I'm sorry ...I'm not helping here am I ???
You're right...Sammi's nose would be bent !

Sounds like you are making the right decision Fran! I am so glad you have put so much consideration into this! I have noticed how many people lately have come on trying to sell/get rid of their Yorkies bc of lifestyle or young children and it really just breaks my heart!

I can tell you are a smart, wise and caring person. You made the right decision. When the time is right, you will know. :)

do what you think is best.

I hope your dad recovers quickly. I think you made the right decision. You are very considerate of your dad and Sammi.

keep your chin up, Fran. It will all come together. You will find your perfect baby when things have slowed down. Let us know if there's anything we can do for you. :)

You did what is best for all of you. The proper time will come when you can get a puppy. I will have your dad in my prayers. I hope he revovers quickly. Thanks for the update. You have Sammi to love and love you.

I think you did the right thing!

You made a very wise decision! Such a selfless act!!! To know in yourheart it wasn't the right time and to put the new puppy's needs 1st as well as Sammi and your father. I will pray for you sweetie and your Dad! But hopefully after all is well. you can then dedicate your time and attention to a new baby! And I truly believe that Sammi will adjust just fine!!

Sorry you wont be getting the puppy Fran. I know that had to be a hard decision. How kind of you to consider everyone else!

Sorry you won't be getting your puppy, but the right time will eventually come along! I hope your dad does well with his treatments and that they are successful!

Fran~I know it was a tough decision to make but you are looking out for the ones you love and Sammi and your Dad need you so the right time will come for another yorkie. I believe thst things happen for a reason. I hope your dad's treatment is successful and he recovers quickly.

Fran, I hope your dads treatments works, and he gets his health back soon. You will get another yorkie after all settles down and you will know when the time is right ...take care you yourself. sherry

Wow! I only wish there were more puppy buyers like you! Most people just act on impulse! You've made the right decision! :thumbup:

Everything happens for a reason. I am glad you took this decision and I am touched to hear how considerate you are of your father!
That can't be easy since cancer is tough on every family member and everyone has to give up a lot during the period where the cancer torments the family.
Thank you for making such a wise and caring decision, I am sure you won't regret it. And the right puppy is out there for you. Not born yet, but waiting at rainbow bridge to be born into your arms :)

Following your heart will always lead you in the right direction
and it sounds like that's what you did for all concerned. You
can't make the timing right if it isn't and you were wise to see
it wasn't. Best wishes to your family in the days ahead our
thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Fran, I'm sorry you won't be getting the pup but there will be time later for that. I know it was a very hard decision to make. My heart goes out to you. But you should be there for your dad at a time like this. Keep us posted on how he is. You made a wise decision. Sounds like your dad has a very special daughter.

You are doing a very special thing. One that will mean a lot to your dad, as well as your dogs. I for one am very proud of your mature and heart felt decision.

My husband has had cancer 9 years. I bought my yorkies when it became clear to me our dreams of travel would not be a reality and I thought a puppy would be a good company for both of us. What a great decision. Chloe will lay in bed side by side with him and just be there. She was such a great dog, we got Lacey, another bundle of joy. The poster who said you will know when the time is right is correct, you will. It was a thoughtful, unselfish thing to do and I know it was hard. I want another yorkie but I know it isn't a good time for me now. Someday I will have another one. My daughter wants to know if I'll be one of those ladies who live alone with 20 dogs. Who knows..

Bless your heart. It's tough, but you made the decision that I am sure will benefit your circumstances for now. The new puppy that gets you as a mom is one lucky dog indeed.

My prayers go out to you and your family (especially Dad) for a speedy and complete recovery!
