| rehoming two yours in surrey Hi everyone its been a while since I last wrote on this forum and I am homing someone can help. I have had Jack and Tilly my two miniature yorkies for 8 years and I love them so so much. We had a baby two months ago and my wife is finding it difficult coping with the baby and the dogs. I never thought I would ever rehome and its breaking my heart to even write this but can any one rehome them, I know the people on here love yorkies and would give them a good home. We have an appointment with a rescue centre the same one I found jack at 8 years ago and I really don't want to have to take them back there, please can anyone help me? |

| I think it is so sad when people rehome dogs because they have a baby. Most dogs would rather get less attention and stay with there family they have been with for 8 years then go to someone they don't know and possibly be split up.

I'm assuming this is a first baby? I think many of us here can attest to how difficult this period of time is, the new baby, the lack of sleep, the demands of life, not to mention the hormones and changes the mind and the body go through for new moms and new dads. Unless your wife really has a problem and has never liked your furkids, I think you should reconsider your decision; rather, make some changes that can help her and ease the pressures and demands of this "new life" you are both living in. Perhaps you can put the pups in "day care" or with a petsitter during the day for a few months until life has evolved into a "new normal". Perhaps you can find a room in the house to make into the room for the pups and change the daily routine? I think in the end, you will both regret your decision. Please take some time to step back and sit down and communicate together about the positives of keeping the dogs? If not and there is no hope, your decision to hand them to a rescue is a good one. Just please make sure you are absolutely positive before you do this. Good luck and god bless.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | I may be slow today, but is that London, England, London Ontario, London someplace else? It would be best to post the locale unambigiously. I'm so sorry you find yourself in this position. Like Lynzy said have you really put your thinking caps on? What exactly does your wife find difficult? Are there are ways you can step up to the plate. Maybe take over the feeding and walking? Maybe have a pet walker during midday to take pups out and play and exercise with them; even if it is only three times per week? Eight years is a long time to have the pups, and you must have thought about the pups before you planned the pregnancy. Perhaps there is a neice/nephew/grandma/grandpa, that can pitch in and help out for a bit. It just is very sad to have to re-home two family members. Also if after more thought you do decide to go ahead; you m ight want to post in the Yorkie Rescue and New Homes needed with pertinent details. And of course surrendering to a rescue is always a good option. All the best for you and the family

With previous dogs plus us having young children, I agree the time will pass...but you must be in quite a state to have even posted here. A very difficult time for you all, including and maybe especially the Littlies. It might be worth posting also on the YT Europe site, just in case? Please feel free to pm me, to see if we can come up with any other ideas or solutions if you wish. Sally + Harry x | |

If I was to find myself expecting a child tomorrow, it's not something I'd ever consider. My dogs are fantastic with kids, they are gentle and would be wonderful around a child. Please reconsider this decision. | |
