I hope I did the right thing... I came home with Lilly! She was so sweet..listened to her owner, etc.... But when I went to pick her up to leave, she FREAKED OUT on me! She did ok the ride home (1 hour) and threw up almost when we got home. Well since being home, it took me 15 minutes to catch her. She wouldn't come at all, running around like crazy...shaky. She is alot bigger than I anticiapted. I do want a tiny one. HUbby isn't happy,thinking she'd be smaller as well. I hope I did the right thing...I don't know now :( |
Just give her time to get adjusted. She is probably just scared. She needs time to get used to you. It is almost like when you leave your child with a new babysitter for the first time. She will probably come around with time. |
Give her a little time Awhhh... She just needs some time to get used to her new surroundings. She should be okay in a day or two. How big is she and what size were you expecting her to be? |

she's 4 1/2 years old, and 7 lbs. I dunno, you hear "7 lbs" you think wow, small! BUt when you're talking yorkies, i guess thats on the "larger" end of them? I wanted really small..like fit in my bag small..but with 2 boys, that may not be the best choice either.. I dont know, hubby is mad at me for getting her, says I need to really think about this :( |

And honestly what does your dogs size really matter? If she was 2 pounds or 20 pounds she's still a sweet little girl. |
Oh poor baby, she just needs time to adjust to her new family. It's not easy to be four years old, and be placed somewhere new. I'm sure with time, she will become your best friend. Hang in there, we are here with you! :) |
Jade and Mitsou had the same reactions the first time they came home . I gave them time to adjust . 7 pounds is not big . Why did you take her home with you ? |

that aren't used to being around tiny pets. My Teddy is almost 10 pounds and I also went in with the perception I wanted this itty bitty little thing but after having to be so careful when he was 2 pounds I am glad to have the rough and tumble little man I have. I really hope this works out for you...Didn't your husband know you were planning on getting her? No offense but the way you seem like you almost regret getting her already makes me feel bad for the poor little girl. |
In the 1st place before you got her, did you ask her owner how big she is. I know a lot of people prefer small yorkies, but the personality of the dog is more important than the size. Poor girl, it must be tough for her to leave her previous owner. At 4 1/2 years old, she is not a puppy anymore and is an adult dog. She just need time and lots of love to get adjusted to the new family. BTW Why did the previous owner give her up? (Just curious) |
hi you must of realised her size when you picked her up,? my rosie is nearly 10 lb but i can imagine when there very tiny you shouldnt have skin kids one little accident and the baby be killed, believe me it does happen |

Your girl will be very good with you when she'll be adjusted to you place . I have two rescued adults Yorkies . |
ok so she tells me to leash her because she'll run..well not telling me she's never been leahed before. She went ballisitc rolling around, spazing out...and when i got down to call her name and try and sooth her, she bit me sooo bad..right through my finger. I picked her up to bring her inside and the whole time she was trying to bite me again! IM in near hysterics. What if she gets near the b oys like this? Hubby tried calling hte woman for advice, but no answer. I hate that I didn't use my brain a little more and thought about it some mroe... |
this little dog has been through sooo much. is she the one that was used for breeding? now her owner can't use her anymore? if you decide she won't work in your family i hope you contact Yorkie rescue through the yorkshire terrier club and let them find her a forever home. did the previous owner give you anything that was hers to take with you? a blanket, toy, something to comfort her? was she used to an expen or a crate? if I were you, i would try to create an environment that is as close as what she was used to. Find a safe, quiet place in your home. give her time away from children and the unfamiliar for a few days. bring her treats and give her love and when it is safe for you to do that...let the children, quietly and one at a time give her a treat. A tiny purse dog may sound like fun but you are not at the stage in life where that will work too well. If you read the message board enough you will see some of the horror stories about small dogs (or pups) and little feet running around them. the two do not mix! the website to find a new home is www.ytca.org good luck |

She gave me nothing to take home with me. she was in a kennel, and used a doggy door to go out into her run. I cannot offer that here. How am I suppose to take her out to do her business if she's going to freak on me like that??. I can't go through that again. And I cannot let he roff a leash here. Hubby thinks we should ask the woman to take her back, and continue our search for the perfect one, without me getting all excited and doing it on impulse again.... I dont know |
