Don't know which to pick...
 

So I'm faced with the worst possible choice ever. Since Mike's grandmother is going to pass away soon and his other grandmother won't allow the puppies at her house with us for like a month until he get his inheritance money I'm faced with...

A) Ask around and hope someone would take care of them for a month or so until the money comes.

B) Have Mike live with his other grandmother and the puppies and I just live from the truck for a month or so.

C) Give them up to someone else.

I don't want to do any, but I need to pick one and I have to do it soon. I don't even want to think about C.

I really have no idea what to do. Any suggestions?

Aww i'm so sorry for you :( Try A first :D could noone foster them untill u get back on your feet. i hope you dont have to get rid of them hun :( hugs to you what a horrible time.

Time for a reality check: Grandma isn't dead and you are planning how to spend the inheritance money? I would highly suggest rehoming these yorkies, I know this isn't what you want to hear, but if your future is planned around waiting for people to die before you can have a home, than it's time to make new plans. What if grandma lives?

Wow!:eek: How harsh is that! Maybe you shouldn't assume that you know the whole situation and get over it! She did not say anything about how she was spending the inheritance money but simply that she needed advice on what would be best for her dogs during that time! Who knows maybe they know for sure is is going to pass away. and judging by option B they do not live near the grandmother and that is why they are staying around. not just so they can get their hands on grannies money. geez! some people around here just have to get off their high horses!:mad:

Actually I happen to agree with Nancy's advice.

Do a quick search on the op's other posts...and not assume someone else...may be assuming.

All I found was the op complaining about her grandmother in law. That's it.

Yeah, me too!! I don't understand why the very negative posting for a young girl who is trying to figure things out!! Are we all missing something?

They live with the grandmother. Apparently they do not have the means to get a place of their own without the inheritance.

Wow tough situation. Any one of us at any time can run into situations that are similar, down on our luck type situations. I thought you lived in an apt with your fiance and his brother and his fiance though? Did that not work out? Im trying to think what Id do with my boys if I had no choice. I guess Id get a friend or family member to take them in. Sounds like your fiance is close to his family and they are local, can one of them take you and your dogs in for a month? Can you and your fiance offer to pay rent to someone for one month for one bedroom? Id try to do that and neither of you move in with his grandmother.

Good Luck though .. I feel for you!

I'd try to go with option A if at all possible.
Wishing all well, whatever the outcome.

She asked for advice, and I gave it. There is a difference between being supportive and being an enabler. If she had said she was waiting for a job opening or finishing school, my advice would be different, but she waiting for someone to die before she can have the funds to have a home. You need to be able to care for yourself before you can care for a pet. I stand by my advice and suggest that since she is young, and has no children, it would also be a good idea to acquire a set of skills that are marketable, and will enable her to provide a home for herself, and others.

I would try option A and I wish you the best of luck...

His grandmother was told she has two weeks left. She has cancer in her brain. Its not going to go away. The reason why we need the inheritance is because she would not allow my fiancé to have a job because she wanted him at the house with her all the time to take care of her and his father who is disabled. She also didn't want me to have a full time job because she wanted someone to run all her errands and do all the shopping. So on my money which isn't a lot a month, I had to pay for all the stuff for the puppies, plus pay bills, and gas for two cars. Thats not easy on someone who doesn't get paid very much.

We need the inheritance because we were not able to save up money. Plus the doctors told her last month, the cancer was going away and she would have 10-12 months. Things happen. Now her cancer won't go away and its still in her brain. Just last month, Mike had to take her to radiation for ten days straight to get rid of the cancer.


If she would have let him have at least a part time job then we could have enough money by now to get a place of our own without the inheritance, but because we moved up here to help her she told us one of us couldn't have a job. Since it's his family, he stayed home all day.

All I'm asking for is advice on which one to choose. I'm not really looking to be critized and stuff, I get enough of that around here now. I go to bed every nigh crying because I know the next day will be worse, and so far, nothing is better.

I'm not sure what the problem really is. If his father is still living but disabled, they won't be able to kick him out of his home for quite some time, if at all. Stay where you're at with your babies and find a full time job anyway.

I'm not criticizing you, I'm telling you to wake up and smell the coffee. How will she not let you get a job? Don't let others make you a victim. The money you spent on the puppies could have been used to make an apartment payment. Sometimes you have to give up short-term rewards in order to reach long-term goals.

Most hospitals have social workers that can help granny get the care she needs, have your fiancé ask the doctor about this. Not everyone is cut out to be a caretaker, it sounds like this job is too tough for you. Get a job, save your money, and get out as soon as possible. Honestly, option A would be the right choice in most cases, but just because you thought B was a possible choice, I had to choose C. B should never be an option.

My dad had brain cancer, and lived over 10 years with it, while my mother was sick with Alzheimer disease, I was their caretaker, and I know this is a tough job, and not worth all the money in the world, the ONLY way I could do it was that I loved them so much. I know they were treated with love, kindness, and dignity. I don't think I could have done such a fine job in my twenties.
