I would say that if your husband can demand you get "rid of" a dog after 2 months, that speaks volumes of his feelings (rather, lack therof) towards animals. How can anyone so easily give up an animal after it has been in the family for 2 months, let alone one that was already rehomed??? What happens if/when you get one of these darling little pups with his blessing, and then there are potty training accidents and vet bills (which WILL happen)? Will he then demand you "get rid of" another puppy? As much as it sounds like you really want a pup, I don't think it would be the best environment if everyone isn't completely on board.

These babies are not returnable or disposable, they are a part of the family and deserve to be regarded as such.

And this is why I don't plan on getting married. I want what I want and that's that :D

Please don't get another puppy until you and your husband agree. I fear you are teaching your children that puppies are disposable and can be replaced easily. I understand your desire to have a dog, but maybe you should look into another breed that is able to be outside more. It is a commitment that should never be taken lightly. Wishing you the best!

I may be speaking (or rather typing) out of turn here, but it sounds more like a relationship problem -- lack of mutual respect and insecurity and not a dog problem. The only ones to suffer are the innocents - the kids and the dog.

Conversely, couldn't you also say it speaks volumes about her lack of respect about his feelings? He didn't want a dog, she knew that but snuck one in any way. Not everyone is a dog/cat/kid person and they shouldn't be forced to accept something just because their partner wants it and is sneaky.

You people are very judgemental!!!!! You know very little about me and my family(just about the situation I have told you) and yet I have been called a bad mother,wife and dog owner numerous times in the past 18 hours. I did not ask your opinion as to what kind of person you thought I was for making a mistake in the past(that I have learnt from),and I am sorry that I am not as perfect as some of you think you are. I simply asked if anyone had had a similar problem and how they handled it.
If I want to bring 10 dogs home it is not any of your business and if I have to feel like I am defending myself all the time here then it isn't a place I want to hang out.
I have read lots of posts on here and over and over people keep getting smacked around by the members here. I deal with enough negativity on a day to day basis with my job working with the public,I don't need anymore in my life. If this is how it is going to be,I will go elsewhere for questions and support in things I need help with.
I have plainly said that I would not get another dog if he wasn't on board completely and supports the decision.
I am not a mean person and I am not trying to start any drama but I am a 40 year old women and I don't appreciate being talked to like I'm a stupid person with no life experiences,yes,I made a mistake,no,I am not perfect,but you don't have to tell me how horrible I am for it!!!!!!!!

Do not get a dog.

I experienced this type of thing with a cat. Had a cat. Boyfriend came next. Boyfriend did not want cat. Boyfriend was mean to cat. Was safter for cat to have a new home, even though it broke my heart to let her go. Later, got rid of boyfriend, too, after realizing he was simply a d*ck. New boyfriend, new puppy. All good.

Ahhh, the "J" word, I knew it would be thrown around sooner or later as soon as the OP didn't hear what she wanted.

Let's see, a dog is snuck in to a house, left outside, dumped on someone else after 2 months and then the OP starts another thread proclaiming her husband the "problem" and wanting advice on how to convince him to do something he has been very clear that he does not want.

Yep, I can totally see how judgmental posters are the problem :rolleyes:

(Goes to sit on the curb and wait for the inevitable 3 page blah, blah, blah from the polite police.)

Was Chloe real?:rolleyes:
If so:

You said you had depression issues and Chloe :aimeeyork aided you with it, are you also in therapy?:)

It may help you to discuss this with your therapist and not on a public forum where you are now attacking people.:(

Please take this thread to your therapist so they can help you work all this out.:thumbup:
Best of luck hope it all works out for you.:animal-pa


I am still very concerned you failed to respond to where CHLOE Even went...yet you chose the screen name MOM2CHLOE...that's very weird IMHO. :confused:

Yes please take this to your therapist (or a one you find) and I think they can better assist you in working this issue out-you know marriage counseling is incredible. ;)

Marriage counseling might be a great idea for you too! It's not always a sign of issues, it can also be just for fine tuning and hey maybe the therapist would be a dog lover and convince him of what you are in serious need of.:D

But I digress, what do I know I'm from CA we think everyone needs a Guru, healer, therapist and about 10 other consults and assistants in their lives. We did invent life coaches out here...:)

Don't do it Rhett_mama!:eek:
Even wonder why police do that I'm just sayin' well I would say, "um no thank you, the curb is dirty, just plain nasty-would you sit on it?"

Infringing on my right to cleanliness!:thumbdown

Then again in order to be able to say that I'll have to do something naughty to get the police to tell me to go sit down on the curb...sorry OT ranting just thought I'd share how I feel about that.

Now I totally understand that thread about taking advice...*sighs*

Everyone on here LOVES yorkies, probably more than they love people you gotta understand that it's the love for the DOGS that brought us here and in general any advice is going to be toward the best interest of the DOG. Your relationship is not my concern, and I wasn't trying to judge you on the whole sneaking the dog in, but it was a bad decision for the dog and you want to bring another one in? Of course i'm not going to agree with you and tell you to get another dog. From what you said, your husband is very clear on not wanting another. You can keep poking and prodding until he lets you but ultimately if he's not on board fully because he WANTS to, then you can't just force him to be. It's not a "problem husband" as it is an individual really wanting to get their way without trying to work out the root of the issue.

This is just based off of what you said, and my advice to you is to work out your issues before bringing another dog into the mix, it's absolutely unfair to the next animal.

She answered that in post #26

Maybe because her husband won't side with her she came on her looking for someone to agree with her and because we love our babies to bits doesn't mean we disrespect or ignore the choices of our partners and have tried to give her some advise.
A rescue wouldn't give her a dog if she went and told them that.
Any good dog owner would tell her it's not up for consideration your entire family has to be a part of the dogs life and the dog theirs.
If my husband or partner "hated" animals it would be the last thing I'd be doing. Mind you I wouldn't be with someone who hated animals

Yes I did already answer that in #26, thank you myteddybear!

I joined here when I had Chloe and don't know how to change my profile name yet.

I don't have a problem with taking advice(good or bad) on something that I feel they know more about than I do but for someone to be down right cruel is a different thing.
I understand that you all love yorkies and I respect the fact that you defend them whenever possible but my situation with Chloe is in the past and what is done is done,as sad as it may be to you,I feel like I done the best thing that I knowed to do for Chloe at the time. My husband isn't a mean person and would never do anything physically to hurt anything but I felt like the stress it was causing wasn't good for her or anybody else.

AND....I didn't just leave her outside like you are making it sound. Go back and read the whole thing and you will know that! I was asking if it was a good idea or not.

I see now thanks I stopped reading hte post after she was talking about going to see puppies again...gee Jack Russel for 7 years and husband thinks inside pets are nasty...gee I wonder where and how the Jack Russel lived...:(:animal36

Well the whole story kinda happened to me. DH said no dog at all. Kids asked numerous times, he got upset and said NO! Rehomed the DH... just kidding:). I asked him every few weeks, finally he saw the pictures, asked me if I really wanted a puppy and I said YES! He surprised the kids after school one day and they were so excited for our Bailey to come home! 1 1/2 later... Bailey and him are BFF's for life. Every day, shes the one who is most excited to see, dances for him, listens to him the best, snuggles him... I could go on. He also calls her "puppa" because he says she can't pernounce puppy; what ever that means:confused::D. Bailey is wrapped around his little finger so well. I hope all works out for u, but I would wait for a while to get another one. You had to put 2 dogs through enough... wouldn't want to hurt another one:animal-pa. Especially a :aimeeyork. But, I don't know what is best for you, and I hope you choose the best option right for your family. :)

I do hope not outside, but likely so if hubby doesn't like indoor dogs. I hate to see any dog big or small living outside. No point in having them if they have to stay outside IMO.

:thumbup::thumbup:

In my world, there is no such thing as an outside dog! Dogs want to be with their families, not all alone outside.

OP, it doesn't sound like a good situation to bring another animal into.

:bigeyes::lol tears:sidesplt:

Had to take a break there was laughing so hard!

It's sad when someone comes to a public forum, throws it out there, and thinks everyone is gonna take their side and all will be right with "their world". The problem as I see it, is you want it all in your world no matter the price. I believe you said your husband did NOT want a dog. Well, that would be the end of that discussion, next! You went behind his back and did it anyway. Are we understanding you better now?

People come to forums such as this to learn, make friends and share information. It's called a public forum. The members have a right as they see fit to respond to each and every post as they wish. If you want to call it a judgement, that works for me. I call it a response.

Either get rid of the husband or don't get another dog.

Oh and to answer your original question, you're husband is not the problem . . . .

You had to ask if leaving a yorkie outside was a good idea or NOT? If you had to ask, then my answer is to please don't get another yorkie. You should never have gotten the first yorkie. I believe the yorkie is in a better home now, because she is in a home with someone who is experienced with yorkies. At least, I hope so. Do you have a fenced yard to keep a dog safe? I am asking, because you stated the other dog was hit by a car. Just sayin'. In my world, my yorkie is for life. She isn't something that is to be given away for any reason. She is for life, however short or long that time may be. I had one lil girl for 17 years.

:yeahthat:

Get a Yorkie and say goodbye to the husband. He sounds like a control freak.

Well my hubby hates inside pets too but...Tibbs and Bella are here to stay and he is not so hateful now lol! Bella is his baby until she pees by his computer chair lol then he is like "come get your dog!!!!" but he did agree for me to get them both! He bought Tibbs for me when I graduated nursing school. He has said "Im givin them away" and "if that dog pee's in my floor one more time" but that was went we were having a hard time potty taring . Now they use pads most of the time lol!

:bravo:

I am glad you defended your self.
I have been here a few wks, and while this hasn't happened to me, I see far too many people getting attacked, insulted and degraded for posting a simple question.
This should be a place people actually ENJOY coming to, to learn and socialize. But with the attitude of some people on here, it makes it very hard to enjoy hanging out around here. I know I will get attacked for this statement. But Im saying how I feel, just how you all say how YOU feel!

Some call it being attacked others call it differences of opinions. When I first came to YT. I felt I was being attacked also and I was going to leave but then I put on my big girl panties and realized , everyone has a right to their own opinion. I have made great friends here and I have learned to take the good with the bad. Some of the people I felt were attacking me turned out to be the ones who helped me the most in my times of need. When I got Sadie, Dh told me if I brought her home that he would divorce me. Well he is still here and now he brings home a treat for his puppies every night. Cracks me up. He comes in the door from work and the first thing out of his mouth is ,,,wheres my puppies. I am sorry that you feel you were attacked but I did not see one person attack you just state their opinions. Some are harsher than others but that is what makes the world go round. After being on YT for some time, and seeing some of the things I have seen. I now understand why some are so strong about their beliefs in certain situations.
Hope it all works out for you.

I hate double posts.
