I saw her.... and need prayers
 

Yesterday I finaly saw my Kaya, I arrived in Bulgaria the previous day and couldn't wait to see my baby who I only saw on pictures, I was dying. I just melted down when I took her in my arms :p she was shaking and kissing me and was sooo....UNBELIEVABLE :D I couldn't sleep last night, I was just thinking and thinking about her...I'm taking her tomorrow morning and I'm really stressed cause I have a little obstacle /will tell u at the end of the thread bout it ;) /. Unfortunately I can't post pictures from yestreday, cause I'm too "smart" and I left my usb cable for the camera in a suitcase which my friend is bringing on the 20th :(

So.. I have some questions... do u think a crate which is 60cm X 40cm X 30cm tall would be enough for her :confused: she's tiny, she can move freely in it, but just wanted to know your opinion.
And when I was checking her out yesterday I saw tiny white roots on her face. The rest of her body and the roots were as they're supposed to be, but those WHITE roots under the blask fur above her eyes and on her head looked pretty strange to me... do u think that's ok?

And now the obstacle.... My dad!!! He still doesn't know and I expect him to say NO, because he never let me have any kind of pet. But there is a chance, cause I live on my own and I'll be staying with my parents just for my vacation /1 month/ so...guys, pray for me, I really need luck to convince him take her tomorrow...
I was having a bunny which I wasn't keeping in a cage, soo he knew that one day when I come back home for a vacation i will bring the bunny with me and he was kinda ok with that but the bunny died :( so I think I have good chances for Kaya.... Awwwww

Congrats on your new baby! Your first meeting sounded awesome...
I don't know much in regard to the white specks of hair I guess.
But in regard to your Dad. Hmmm...If you live on your own and
you are just visiting I would say if he wants you to visit he had
better accept your new baby. I wouldn't give it to him like he has
an option I guess. Besides if he was willing to accept a rabbit I
don't think he would have any more problem with a cute puppy.

Hi, and congrats on Kaya. The white on her face sounds normal to me. Many pups have white patches on their face or chest. As the pup gets older the white starts to change or blend in with the rest of the hair. Yorkies don't get their final coat color till around 2 years I've read. How old is the pup? About the crate, in my opinion, the tiny crate is just temporary. And by that I mean just until she learns to stop pottying in there. As she grows and is doing well in her potty training I feel she should not be in a small crate but should have either an x-pen, or 2x3 foot wire cage or an enclosed room or part of a room in your home. That way she's safe but still has room to play. And potty training is much easier this way. Unless you can watch every move she makes, she's restricted to her special area. When you're playing with her, of course she's allowed out. I will tell you that crate training is a hot topic on this forum with lots of (sometimes) heated discussions. This is just my opinion and what has worked for me. Good luck with your dad. I said a little prayer for you.

I'm soooo jealous !! all these puppies - Congratulations and she sounds adorable - good luck and be prepared to get NO sleep for a few weeks !!

Congratulations on your baby. I'm sure once your dad see's her he'll melt. Besides it's only for a month and I think he can survive. :)

Oh..Congratulations! Let us know..
I think your Dad will melt over her also~ ;)

I asked my dad and he doesn't even wanna hear about it :cry8: I'm so upset :rain: :rain: :rain: I don't get it, I don't see what his problem is :cry8: he thinks I can't take this responsibility and for God's sake, I live alone!!!! I'm old enough to even have and take care of skin children :angry:
I'll have to move out if I want her and I WANT HER, I don't care what will happen, as long as I am with her :cry8:

As much as you love Kaya already, I would say that if your dad said "NO", then it would be one short vacation for me. Good Luck.

I'm a little confused. You live alone but you'll have to move out. :confused: I hope that you make the right decision and go with your heart's desire. Nothing is more precious than a new baby yorkie!

Good luck with the new puppy, do what your heart tells you. Are you living with them or by yourself?

I live alone in Dubai, but I went back to Bulgaria to see my parents for the vacation and I'm taking Kaya from here. I'll be staying with my parents for about a month and then will go back to my place. The thing is that my dad never let me have pets in his house, he doesn't care about my apartment in Dubai, but I'll be back there in 1 month so that's what bothers me :( now I'm thinking of moving to a place which is next to my parents' place for the vacation :( :( :( and at the moment my dad doesn't talk to me....hopefully my mum will convince him or I'll have to move out

Oh, I understand. I hope that your mum is able to soften your dad on this. :( Keep us updated and good luck!

Will the breeder be amenable to keeping her for another month, until it's time for you to return home? You could visit her everyday until then :)

How wonderful for you. This puppy will change your life in many ways, all for the good. I'd try to find lodging for a month that will let my little one stay too. Asking the breeder to keep her for another month is an option as well, but I know it would be hard to wait, again. You don't want to upset your parents but if you live alone and are now on your own,are financially responsible, it is your decision to make, not theirs. I'm not trying to be harsh I'm a parent too but if you are old anough for independence, it seems you are old enough for a pet. If you have not been responsible in the past, prove them wrong, be a great mom to this little one and they will soon realize you are right about this issue. As far as the month in the interim, if you cannot work out a place to stay or if the breeder won't keep her, I'd just have to make it a short vacation. Again, not to be harsh, but I would not want my little one there even for this month because she is a puppy who might cry at night or potty in the wrong place. I think I'd try to avoid an "I told you so" lecture before you have had a chance to train her. This is just my opinion. I will pray for you every day this month. Good luck

:( You guys, I'm sorry for wasting your time reading dramas :( I guess I made a huge deal out of the whole thing....out of my lifetime obcession /not joking at all, I used to visit a therapist when I was young because I wanted a dog so much and used to freak out/. After I came back to my parents' place everybody was happy, they were waiting for me, they were happy to see me and when I popped the question this afternoon everything turned into 360... my dad disapeared in his room and now doesn't talk to me, stays there and doesn't come out, I have a major headache from crying till now and mum is just in the middle - feels bad for me and can't even talk to him :( cause the efforts won't be positive now - he's the toughest person to deal with EVER.
And I really didn't think that will be so hard :( I thought he would say yes because it's just 1 month :( I can't return earlier and make my vacatoin shorter because I already signed my lease agreement which says I'm moving back to Dubai in september.... and I guess I just have to convince the breeder to keep Kaya for 1 more month :( although I've been counting the days and stuff... I can't just bring her home cause my dad would probably get a heart attack from me not listening to him, he's very touchy. And the plan for moving out is not good as well, cause that would spoil our relationship - u know, I come here to see them after a long time and then I move out because of a dog - yes, to me this dog means a lot but for him it's just a TOY or whatever and he can't understand it :( Aggggh.... and yes, I still depend on his financial support...

Thank you all for being so supportive and nice to me... makes me feel kinda better... and does not put the label "crazy" on me...

Tsvesta-- I think letting the breeder keep Kaya for a month would be your last resort. I know how you feel about doing exactly as what dad says. I have a strict one as well :D Have this in writing and make sure you'll be getting Kaya after a month. This way, you'll be able to avoid any discussion from your dad and all would be fine. And I couldn't stress this enough--have this in writing with the breeder. We know you've been excited about getting Kaya and taking care of her. Just think of it this way, you'll have another month to prepare and anticipate her arrival. You'll have everything ready and you'll be the prepared super mommy that you are!! Hope everything works out well.

I just wanted to say I hope everything works out in the end. My parents weren't to happy about me getting charlie because i still live with them. Now we joke about who's dog he is even though i paid for him and his stuff.

I'm so sorry, it is hard for the yorkie lovers of the world and animal lovers too, to understand there are folks who just do not relate, to them it is "just a dog". I truly hope and pray the breeder will understand and keep her for you. Maybe you can visit often. I'm sure once you explain she will understand. As for mom and dad, well of course you must do what you have to, I feel badly for you and your mom. Sometimes, though, moms can have an enfluence when no one else can do it. Just keep your fingers crossed and try to keep busy until you can get your little one. I'm glad you wrote, you know you have understanding here, nobody thinks you are nuts, unless we all are.

I hope everything works out for you and you are able to get your puppy.

Oh, I'm so sorry you have had to go thru all this turmoil. Anyone who is adamant about not having an animal in the house, in my opinion, ususally won't change their mind. If the breeder will agree to keep her for you maybe you can visit her several times a week. Hope things work out for you.

I would also be careful if you say that he still helps you financially.

Oh my! I really want you to have your baby now and I would just tell your father that she is your "baby" just like a human baby and he has to accept her if he accepts you. You are a "package deal". What is it he doesn't like about dog in the house...the accidents? Keep panties on her when she is in the house and then there are no accidents and he has no reason to say no. The panites are the kind for females in heat. They work well.

Good luck!

I'm so sorry to hear your father is so head strong about bringing your new puppy. He should be glad your not bringing home a baby.LOL! Maybe someone here would babysit, but it's sad because this an important time to be bonding with her. Good Luck. :(

AW, I am so sorry to hear of the trouble you are going thru. Getting a new Yorkie puppy is supposed to be ever so much fun. If I were the breeder, I would insist on keeping your baby til you can sort out how to maybe get your dad to come around or til you are ready to go back home. As for the white roots, your puppy is starting to break the adult color on her head. Bet she looks like she is going bald. You would be amazed at how many people are concerned when they first the color changing. Her coat on her body will also start to change at the root and grow out. You will see the dark hair on the tips of the hair as it grows out. That is the normal thing so do not worry. She is right on target...Best of luck with your parents and your baby..

Hello! I hope you manage to sort things out with your dad,and congrats for your new little baby! Just be aware of certain things you need before putting her in a plane to the UAE:
The dog has to be minimum 6 months old (unless they changed this law recently)
Has to be vaccinated against Rabies (if im not mistaken 2 or 3 months before travelling but check on that one).
Has to have a microchip.
You need an import permit from the ministry of Environment & Water.
Also a health certificate from your vet and ministry on your country, depending in your Country laws, you might also need a export permit.
She will have to fly in by Cargo only (pets not allowed on board) :-(
I advise you to send her by Emirates,they are the best for handling pets.
Its a pain in the neck all these procedures but its worth it once you have your little one next to you... :-)
Usually you can find a company that can handle all these paperwork and transportation for you.
Good luck!

This thread is four years old.

I wonder if it worked out?

Your Dad must be a very unhappy soul. I can't imagine NOT loving animals, they make me laugh & smile everyday. AND I also can't imagine not supporting my daughter with her new baby. I hope his heart changes because that is sad. If it were me, I would have just TOLD him what I was doing and said, if I can't bring her, I will have to figure out other living arrangements. I am sure he would not want that. I have a very demanding Father, but I have learned to tell him NO and now that we are adults, we are equal. I also demand respect and privacy. You can love your Dad while making your own decisions in life, so dont let him control you forever. (speaking from experience). I love my Dad, but we have such a better relationship now that I am older and he knows where I stand. :D

I would think the breeder would be able to keep her with no problem. I hope so anyway, Yorkies are wonderful! I hope it all works out for you.

(just noticed how old this thread is! lol)

my dad gives me h3ll each time i buy a puppy and i dont live at home either, i just ignore him...and i still bring my pups to their house occasionally and just tell them to stay away from that mean old man who SAYs he doesnt like dogs...he doesnt seem to like mine because they have such free roam at home..to jump on the sofa and kiss people..he doesnt like them in his face

when we were growing up we wanted pets of all kinds and it was always no. but it never stopped us..lol...i snuck in hamster, gueine pigs, ..my mom got a new dog and he let it stay inside...then when we moved out..they got 2 cats and he acted all macho about not wanting them...guess what? he loves those dang cats..wont admit it but he does...we asked for cats from the time we could talk..always heard i hate a freaking cat...now look at him

I'm sorry you're going through this. My Mom was kind of the same way..not to the degree your dad is. She didn't like animals in the house, but that started to change after we got our cat, Pumpkin. She's pretty much an all indoor kitty now and even though my Mom doesn't really approve, she still let's Pumpkin sleep inside and everything.

As for my puppy, my Mom didn't want me to get a puppy. I had been wanting one for 3+ years and when I decided to move out from my roommate's apartment to live on my own, I decided now was the best time. I really needed a little companion. My Mom didn't believe me that I had bought a baby. But I talked to her and told her that I wasn't going to like living alone and I needed a little baby to keep me company. Well, everything worked out well. When my Mom came to visit me in Mexico last year, she bought a little harness for my baby and a dress! :)

She doesn't like to pet her, but my baby will go and play with her and my Mom will find it funny. She doesn't have a problem with my having my baby in the house or sleeping in my bed. My Mom thinks it's kind of gross but I don't mind. :)

Good luck to you and your baby. Hang in there.

HELLO!! :rolleyes: :)
