Yorkies in a nursing home environment Macy and I were out walking this morning when a neighbor stopped us. Her MIL is in an assisted living apartment that allows pets but her MIL is failing and can't even take care of herself now. My neighbor wanted to know if I would consider taking her MIL's Yorkie because they didn't know what they were going to do with her now that the MIL is failing. She is a year old and isn't potty trained and never gets any exercise......in other words she is a WILD CHILD. I told her I would talk it over with DH and see what he thinks. He thinks Macy would get her world turned upside down if another Yorkie came to live with us. I am thinking of telling the neighbor I would foster the little girl and see if I could at least get her paper trained. Oh yeah......she also said the MIL didn't want to give up her Yorkie. Does this sound like a recipe for disaster for everyone involved? |
Hmm... I wouldn't go for the 'I don't want to give it up, but I want you to take care of her'. It sounds like the potential for a disaster. If she can't take care of the dog, she needs to give it up. I am fostering for an older lady who is looking for a home for her yorkie, but I am not paying for its medical care or anything... Just basically babysitting. I would express your concerns and talk it over with your husband. Good luck! |
Sounds tricky! :D I wonder if you have an organisation such as this in the USA - www.cinnamon.org.uk ? Harry's doggy-sitter is an assessor for this charity - it aims on keeping pets with their owners in nursing/care homes....even visiting/walking/shopping/feeding etc. if their owner is unable to do so. Just a thought? Good luck! :) Sally + Harry x |
