If I had to dole them out to non-YT members, assuming that I'm not giving them to my parents...hmm...my best friend Jenn, my neighbors, Jena that got one of our pups and my pal Leslie.

Aww, Misty thank you..I'd take Kasey!!

I would give Monte to my mom, or my bf....If that was impossible I would give him to Michiko...

The only way i'd give up ANY of my animals would be I died and since i'm going to live to be 105 I will outlive all of them.
But if for some reason I went bankrupt and I already gave away the hubby and the kids and all of my belongings then I'd have to say they would all go to my oldest daughter. There isn't a living breathing thing on this earth that she doesn't cherish. She won't even kill a bug. If she finds a spider that has found it's way in the house she will get a piece of paper scoop it up and take it outside..so you can imagine how she is with the yorkies..for the love of pete if she is taking a shower instead of a bath she has been known to sneak the yorkies in there and put them in with her cause they love it..Note I said sneak cause I can't stand it when she does that..it's gross to me lol..but not to her..So it would be her..

After Cassie's passing, our middle daughter suggested we get another yorkie, but beings that we are up in our years and health issues to deal with, I hesitated, she then assured me that if the time came that we were not here for it, she would for sure give it a loving home and not to worry about it, so with that understanding we now have our Baby Blessing.

Seriously this is something to think about. You might want to put in your will who you would want to take your kids so they won't go to the wrong people or end up in rescue.

sandraj · 03-19-2006, 08:59 PM

I would have a queue of people waiting!The best choice would be my daughter,who loves her to pieces.Next best would be my best friend,who invites her over to dig in her garden!! great to know there are options.Better include her in my will!

shecass · 03-20-2006, 04:41 AM

My mom without a doubt or hesitation.

kitty · 03-20-2006, 05:28 AM

This would be a hard choice for me. I had a yorkie before this one and because of a divorce and being homeless w/ 4kids and no money I had to place my little yorkie with someone. I to had family members lined up waiting to get her but when the time came, no one wanted her right then. I ended up selling her to a complete stranger. The good news is I still see her a lot. The people are so kind that they bring her over for visits and etc. If I had to place my yorkie I have now I have no idea who would get her. I don't really trust that family would give her a good home. I don't know what I would do.

You do have a great point! Nobody ever wants to think about death, but it's inevitable, and we have to prepare the people around us before we go. So...if I go before my parents, I'd give Baby to them...if after, my sister Kasi. She loves Baby to pieces just like my parents!!

strawberrycream · 03-20-2006, 06:50 AM

Ha Ha yea I get that all the time from alot of people that have seen Babe Girl. My mom indeed will have her if I ever needed to give her (which I pray to God) I won't lol.

But you do wonder what would happen because so many people around the world are facing this tragic topic and it's good to atleast shed some light on it. Well God Bless that noone will ever have to give their baby or babies up.

Sincerely, BaBe GiRl & MoMmy

They love her that much. My mother said she would never get a dog, but if I had to get rid of Baby she would take her in a heartbeat. Funny, hugh? I thought so!

Do people say that they would take your Yorkie(s) if you couldn't keep them?

Oh, so many people also tell me if I ever need a dog sitter they'd do it. Even my students say that! Some people struggle for dog sitters and I have them lined up!!

Anyway, back to the question

...if you HAD (a must) to give your Yorkie(s) away who would you give him/her/them to that would ACTUALLY take them? I would give Baby to my mother and father, that way I could see her all the time.

I know they are in love with her as much as I am which is great!

sneri13 · 03-20-2006, 07:25 AM

Ok the only way I would give up the babies is death. I decided I am not going to die though but if I had to. I would only give them to my oldest son, who by the way is under the impression that he is taking them away to school with him. Yeah right!.....

Cheska's Bella · 03-20-2006, 07:52 AM

Yikes! I would hope upon hope that my Dad would "let" my Mom take Bella for me... If not, I don't know what I'd do! I have a large family but my brother breeds American Bulldogs and has 6 or 7 of his own, my 3 sisters are all super busy w/their families. Since Bella is stil young (14 wks) I'd probably call the breeder I received her from for suggestions...

yorky4ME · 03-20-2006, 10:53 AM

I'd never want to give any of my babies but I do have a Will set up and assigned Godparents for all my babies.... except the new one now. This is just in case something happens to me.

MaeMae and MeeMee would both have to stay together... they are littermates and LOVE each other. So my mom is their Godparents.

BaoBao is going to Jenny and Martin who are totalliy in love with him.

Lung Lung is going to my best friend...who LOves him....

BeeBee is going to my sister who loves him too!

and now I have to fine Godparents to my new baby GingGing........

and I don't have a person that would sui my Maeson.... my parrot.... and I worry about him.... he might go into an aviary if something happens to me. Not everybody understands Bird.....

Paisleypup · 03-20-2006, 10:59 AM

I agree with what you have done Yorky4me.
I have a good friend that is the 'Godmother" to my yorkies, since she has had the breed longer than me and I really trust her. Mary is the reason why I decided to get a Yorkie so I know she would love my babies. I have 4 horses too and it is smart to always have a place in mind to send your pets too in case of an unfortunate untimely death. It is in my will as well.

Tiger's Mom · 03-20-2006, 11:46 AM

The issue has never been discussed but probably because Tiger is still a puppy . . . however, a few have offered to dog sit, inlcuding my mom . . . but with the exception of my mom, I don't think I will be taking him to anyone of my friends though. My mom has had a dog and she loves Tiger so I know she can handle him and is willing to have him sleep with her in bed. My friends though won't look at it that way. So if ever I need to go places where I cannot take my furbabies, they will be boarded at my VET's facility . . . .
