I think I would rehome the cousin and keep the dog...

A yorkie is a wonderful breed and they come in all shapes and sizes, if she was looking for something more specific she should not have trusted anyone else to find her 'perfect' dog. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Ok thank you...they seemed to love her from what I could observe, I know the little girl adores her, and in the end Kaya was for Rachel.

Yep you hit the 2,200.00 nail right on the head.

Definitely in need of a good grooming and maybe you should suggest YT to your cousin since it is quite educational and helpful. Sounds like she just needs some good information and guidence with her little one. Since Roxie was my first yorkie or small dog for that matter, coming to YT has helped me tremendously. It helped me be more relaxed with her since I was so scared I'd break her when I first got her.
P.S. I must not be into the status thing since I've always been a little embarrassed to tell anyone what I paid for my baby. She was worth every penny to me and if your love for your pet is big enough I'm sure any pet owner feels that way.

I promise you this....she'll never have time to come on here. too busy.

I agree. I spent a lot of time on those ears when she was little. I used the massage method, and Kaya LOVED it. When she left here, those ears were straight up. There is so much hair on her ears it is more like maybe the groomer gave her a silky cut.

Your cousin is crazy. Tell her how to put the topknot on and let it go sweetie.

That is an adorable little girl. If she doesn't agree, then next time she can go out and find her own Yorkie.

But I have to agree, she is Yorkie cute to me.

Thanks,

But I have to clarify...she never verbally said one word...it's just that we are family, and I KNOW her....body language, inuendos, voice inflection, leading questions,facial expressions.... also remember her daughter was always present, and she ultimately would never say anything negative about Kaya in front of Rachael, but I KNEW, the message came loud and clear.

But as you can see through this thread we hopefully have worked all of it out as best we can.
