What would happen to your yorkie if..... somthing happened to you? Every time the economy goes in the crapper...and it's really going now...we always see the amount of animals "given up" to shelters or just simply abandoned outside or in their foreclosed homes.... I noticed it when I worked for the Veterinarians office...peole just don't have the money to take care of their dogs... Unemployment is so high...gas is so high...interest rates are through the roof. What would happen to your yorkie if your "life" situation changed? Be it divorce, home destroyed :eek:(fire, etc), job loss:(, death or major illness of partner:( , what happens to the babies? So many just don't think about the babies...it's so sad.... Consider adopting a rescue yorkie:animal36 if you are considering adding to your family...there are so many out there who are homeless from no fault of their own........and please have a plan if something horrible was to happen to you, so your babies would be cared for.... roxanne |
What a great message. I have had several people tell me that they would love to take Daisy and Teddy if I ever had to give them up. I have a wonderful friend that I would give them to for sure if anything happened to us. She loves them so much and would spoil the heck out of them just like we do. I also know of a great breed specific rescue group that would take them both as a bonded pair as long as they had the funds to take them. I know that they would find them a great home. It is sad to think about this but something really worth thinking about in case of an emergency. |
2 of them would go to my parents, the other would either go to my parents or back to the breeder from which I got her, whichever the two parties thought was in her best interest. Flash (our Basset) would go to live w/ my either my grandparents or my aunt. I have actually already discussed this with my family and they know this is what they would have to do to keep me from coming back to haunt them. |
I would keep my furbbys for sure. I don't know how I could live my life without them, & my family knows that if something happens to my hubby that my furbbys will have to come along with me if I decide to move back in with my parents. If something ever did happen to my hubby though, I would get a lot of money because he is in the military, so I would definitely still be able to afford them. God forbid that something ever happen to him, but if it does, I would still be able to take good care of them thanks to the military. Amy |
well i think thats one of the benefits of YT...I could name like 4 people that would take Bella and Diggy in a second! (Kim this is a scenerio I'm not giving them up!!! lol) But besides YT I think my family wouldnt stand to see that happen. Hopefully we wont have to deal with it, EVER!!!! |
If something happened to me (life or death) then Jamie would go to my best friend/roommate (who is like a sister to me) Courtney. He would still get to go to my moms and see my family because they have practically adopted her. My mom's not even a "dog person" and she's upset that she doesn't get Jamie if something happens to me. LOL! Other than that Jamie is like my child, I would do whatever I had to to keep him with me and keep him fed. |
I'm lucky enough to be a member on this website where I have so many good friends that are ready and willing to help in times of need. :) |
I'd rather not think what would happen if i, uh you know (EEK!!!). But I'd keep my yorkie no matter what through bad times. He's a small dog so it doesn't take much to take care of him, like only around $5 a month for his dog food because his gigantic bag i buy him lasts like 6 mths. Of course there are vet bills too but... I would probably give up some luxuries like the internet to keep my furbaby because i've grown so attached to him. :love: Its wonderful how so many of you guys have great friends who would help during hard times! |
i would never give up my lexi.. never ever, i would sell my house if i had to, but, if anything fatal ever happened to me god for bid,,my mom would keep her of course, just to have a part of me with her... |
My babies are my life, I would keep them no matter what as long as I can give them food, love, shelter. But if my husband and I die they go to my inlaws. |
If something happens to me , Mingtoy will stay home with my mom and dad . They love her so much . When they took her home , they told me a dog is for life not just for a day or two . |
I hope it never comes to that, because I just can't imagine having to give up my babies. I feel so bad for those people who couldn't keep their dogs for whatever reason - that must be such a difficult decision to make. However, if it did come to that, I have two grown daughters and a grown son and they would take my girls without a second thought and take good care of them. For that I am very blessed. |
If both me and my hubby died my Mom would take Ozzy. She is his Nana :) If there ever was a divorce...me..he's registered in my name ;) Financially well there would be tons of things we would give up including our house before we would give up our Baby :aimeeyork |
I feel blessed that financially I am in great shape. IF anything ever happened though I would never part with my babies. We could alway depend on family to help. My will had a part that says my granddaughter gets my house as long as my Yorkies are alive and them after the last one is gone the house will be sold and divided between my children and grandchildren with my granddaughter getting the biggest share. This way I can be assured they will get the best of care ;) |
A breeder who will take them back I always tell my puppy customers that my puppy is welcome back here at any time in its life, for any reason, and I'd go so far as to buy it back from someone would otherwise try to sell it. So far I've had no takers on the offer, but that's probably because I'm extremely selective about who my puppies go to in the first place. |
:thumbup: Good post. If something should happen to us and since Scooter is in declining health, I think I would have my daughter put him down. It would kill her but she has 2 hugh dogs, one which stays in the house. I don't have any siblings, just in-laws and I sure wouldn't want either of them to have him. Sad to think about. :cry: I had to do this when my step dad went into a home. He had told me before the stroke that was what he wanted done with his cat. I'm not really a cat person but I cried all the way there and back. |

I actually bought back a puppy when the people lost their job and house. Emma was 11 months old. She now has a wonderful home with a new mom that would never part with her. It is in me sales agreement that I get right of first refusal on them for life. |
Well, I would hope my 2 daughters would take my 5 babies, even if they had to be split up; they both love them all. But, its so hard, its really easy to say no, I'd never give them up no matter how hard times get; but truth is, none of us would really know for sure unless we had to walk in those shoes. I've learned to never say never.:( |
Actually our children and my husband and I have already had this discussion, our animals would go to our children if anything happened to my husband or myself, their part of our family and our children love them just as much as we do. |
My babies and I would live out of my car! You'd have to pry my boys from my cold dead fingers. I don't have kids of my own and not married, so its just me and my mortgage and job. If I lost my job, Id lose my house. But Id have unemployment to keep my babies fed and a car! :) haha Now if I passed away god forbid, I have a friend who would keep my boys, or my mother would keep them. I made sure that someone would keep them for the rest of their lives. Well I got their verbal agreement. I know my mom would though! |

But I hope that never happens! I hate to even think of such things! I would not be able to go on with out my babies, they are such a big part of me. |
I really hope this never never happen to me! No matter how tough life can be, I would NEVER give up Chloe for WHATEVER reason! I would just give up other things (eating out, shopping, etc) in life to make her life comfortable. I am so attached to Chloe and can't image my life without her! |
I have always think about this for a loooong time...if anything happens to me and my husband, I know he will not go to my in-laws, maybe to my mother-in-law but we had no verbal agreement on it. I will have to ask my mother first but we will have to ship him 9000 miles away but he will be in a good home forever. My second choice are YT members that I am closest to. |
I don't think I would give up my animals even if something was to happened to me... I would sacrifice my wants/needs for them, but if I had to I know that my mom, my best friend would take them or my boyfriend's parents or sisters.. Everyone I know is an animal lover... |

He answered and I'm not kidding, "Izzy, daddy would have to cut your topknot off so I wouldn't have to worry about the bow thing.":eek::eek::eek: OMG - OK my YT family I have always told him about this site and that this is the first place he needs to go and post if something should ever happen to me. You have got to promise me that you'll help this poor man learn how to comb her and put in her bow...:yelrotflm:yelrotflm:yelrotflm |
Sometimes I think my kids would be willing to knock me off it they could get my dogs! LOL But seriously. depending on their ages and health it would have to be carefully considered. What if nothing happens to me for several years from now? My best friend is named in my will as the person to decide what happens and she knows my wishes. She knows that if she needs to she can come on this board and offer Adie and Skeeter up for rehoming. Someone nice would take them wouldn't they???????? I have neighbor that loves Cassie to death and would take her right this minute if I asked her to and another neighbor would take Ivan. So I'm set for now I guess. What about it.....anyone want my yorkies? (NOT) :eek: </IMG> |
No matter what, I'd keep my dogs! I'd eat less and cheaper myself so they could be fed and healthy. (I could stand to eat less anyway!) I'd cut back where ever I could, and there are plenty of ways to that. I just know I'd keep my babies. I couldn't live without my "girls" and Scooter... Not to mention my kids would be crushed if they had to say good bye to out dogs... |
I sure would love to adopt another YT, Calgary so far we haven't reached the recession yet, mind U gas is high thx to those stupid financial idiots who can read into the future and put our country in a recession. |
Believe it or not we have a kind after marriage prenupt that states the babies are mine. Doesn't matter how poor I get my babies will always be with me and taken care of. Due to the military I do have a will at only 20 that states which family member the pets go to and 20000 dollars to take care of them for the rest of their natural lives. After they do pass and what is left over goes to the relative that took care of them. |
They are in our will and will go to a very close friend that has only one grown son. We recently changed that. Before we were leaving them with our son, but they are just too busy with a new baby. Money will be provided for their needs. We are very healthy, so unless an accident takes us out together, we should live long enough to see them raised and die at a very old age. :p |
