We are going to get her Monday, her Momma wanted to spend her last xmas with her! And it works out because I am on vacation for a week~

So she will have to join Pnut boot camp!

Is there anything I should do to make her feel comfortable, and pnut as well...? Do I put them in the same play pen? How should I go about it until she is use to being at my house, I know when I watch her she fits right in and makes her self at home lol but I think maybe she will think this time is different bc I know when her Momma drops her off her Mom will be upset

I would just see how it goes. If they love each other then I would put them together. They are both young so my guess is, they will be happy to have each other.

I'm so glad that you decided to do this. It's going to make your friend feel so much better knowing that her girl is in a good and loving home. And Pnut is going to have a full time playmate.

Does your friend live nearby you? I'm sure she will still see Delilah a lot, you guys are friends!

Congratulations. They are both adorable and I loved hearing about your DH's reaction. She is a lucky little girl to be going to such a warm and loving home.

You may want to consider picking up Pnut's new sister at a neutral location. A mall, groomer's or something like that. That way she doesn't see her previous mother upset at leaving her at her new home. Also, when going in the 'new' house, they will kind of go in together...might make a slight difference psychologically. Couldn't hurt. At least her last memory of her 'mom' won't be of her leaving, crying and not coming back for a long long time. She might seem more like a visitor when she comes if her last sight of her was at another place.

I think if your heart is in it you should give it a 2 week trial! You seem like a lovely gal. My worry is that you said Dahlia's owner is waitinf for another yorkie. WHAT IF THAT does not work and she thinks she can dump the new puppy on you? Sorry, I dont mean to be so pessimistic!
Hugs,

Ivy ans Tess

I think when she said her friend had a 1 year old the Yorkie Daliah was waking up constantly and that she was pottying all over the house it was too much with another on the way...she meant her friend was having another baby...not another Yorkie...wow I hope I read that correctly also. I always wonder how people can survive anything with children so close in age, mine average 5 years apart.. soon as one is in kindergarten and I'm like YES! finally...then...here comes another one (I'm joking-call it uncomfortable pregnancy humor)

Oh good a baby and not a Yorkie...remind her to take lots of vitamins! I read somewhere it actually take the human body 3 years to fully regenerate and recover after pregnancy! Congrats to your friend, and you looks like you both have new family members, and it may have all worked out for the best! Let us all know about the potty and barking issues, I didn't ask before but did you have that problem while watching Deliah before?
