Like I said, I honestly was not saying those things to make you more upset. I hear about people rehoming their dog at least once a day so I guess it just frustrates me... I am also 22, and I will be starting vet school in about a month and a half. I am sorry you feel like you have to rehome your dog but I just really feel sorry for the dog. I just can't imagine ever giving mine up. I hope Reece finds a great home. If you think you are really doing what is best, that that is all you can do...all we can do is our best. I just hope she finds a great home |

I think we are just all passionate about the best interest of our yorkies. YT is a place for comfort and compassion but its also a place where we should be open minded to everyones opinions. Feelings can get hurt and that happens not everyone will agree with what is being said. I have been reading many threads that have gotten a lil hot and all i see is people who truly love yorkies and will stop at nothing to make these lil guys lives better. So with that being said, I understand you are upset that you have to rehome her but also try to understand that some of us feel that just like no one would give up a human baby because things got tight, they wouldnt give up their furbaby. Just like you would like people to respect what you post ,it goes both ways. I dont think these 2 ladies are purposefully trying to offend you. Getting a pet, you have a bigger advantage of analysizing your situation before getting them and thinking of what could change unlike pregnancy. I cant say i speak for all but im pretty sure some of us feel that once you decide to bring a pet into your life, its for the long hual no matter what. And if there is a chance that you think it may not work, then dont get them. I feel for you and I hope you can understand what im saying. Some people are extra sensitive but we also shouldn't feel like we cant say anything and walk on eggshells . But again this is just my opinion and I am not trying to offend you. |
Hun, I sent you another pm. I emailed the lady and she will get back to both you and I next week she said. Tonight must be a hard night for you....things will get easier. You're a good person for taking care of your family and for thinking about your doggies and their needs. Talk to you tomorrow... Trina |
I just read this thread again and have a question. I think your 'Reese' will do fine once she adjusts to a new home and while I feel bad for you that you have to do this ...I was worried about Teddy. Are they really close ? Do you have plans to make this easier on him ?? My girls are welded at the hip & my youngest Cheri just cries when she can't see Chanel. They're very VERY Attached to each other..... How are you going to handle the loss for Teddy ?? I have a feeling this will be rougher on him than Theresa even though it's rough on all of you. :( :( I don't want to be nosy but it's def something to think about especially since you're so busy with everything else....GOOD LUCK TO YOU... |
I know how hard this must be for you, but think positive that she will go to a loving home. Someone will care for her as much as you. Will the rescue place keep in touch with you so you can find out who adopted her. I think it would be nice to be able to meet the people who adopt her. That would give you closure and then you would know she was going to a nice home. Heather-Mamma to Gracie and Hallee |
you are in norcal?!?! my fam lives in the bay area.... i'd take care of her in a heartbeat! I am so sorry you are going through this, i can only imagine how heartbreaking it'd be .... omg i could cry just thte thought of having to give kikko away .... but i think you're doing what's in the best interest of reese. gluck hun on everything, the night when the lady comes for reese and for studying for the LSAT. |
re-homeing I recently posted my 2 girls were needing to be re-homed due to a move out of the country for my husband. I exhausted every avenue trying to find a way to take them, find a family member to keep them and finally after talking to prospective adoptive families I have decided to stay behind. I can't do it. I cannot find it in my heart to leave them behind or just re-home them. This is a very difficult time for us - the thought of being away from my husband for almost 2 years is going to be hard but we have no other way. I can fly and visit or he can come home to see us - but we just can't give our babies to someone else to care for. However, we each are faced with life decisions and we each have to find what is best in our lives as well as those we care for. Sometimes the best decision is to re-home - but it is an individual decision. I wish the best for this pup and the owner - I totally understand what you are going thru. My thoughts are with you. |
I just want to say to everyone who has offered their kind words and support thank you so much. I truly truly truly do appreciate it. I've been so depressed lately, and its been very hard for me even to get out of bed. LoveMyGirlz, thank you. You truly are an angel, thank you so much for doing all that you can for me and Theresa. It means so much to me. There are not enough words to express how much gratitude I have for you. I will forever be in debt to you for just showing me so much compassion and kindness. Thank you again. I am one of those people who thought that I would never ever rehome a dog. They are like children to me. And I love them very much. If I had another relative who would take care of them trust me I would have done that. But unfortunately, I don't. My siblings (despite us being triplets) are of no help to me or my family. Things with Theresa got really bad. My mom's MS got worse, she can barely eat anything for herself, or even get herself out of bed into the wheelchair. I then have to drive 30 minutes to Oakland to take my grandmother to dialysis every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. On top of that I have to make sure that both my grandfather (who suffered a stroke) and my grandmother make it to all of their doctors appointments.. two of which are next week. I needed for my dogs to go outside to the bathroom, come in, and wait for further instruction, and my little Reese, poor thing, couldn't do that. It was getting to the fact that my grandmother, who was blind was stepping in her accidents, and it was becoming a big problem. For some of you, this still wouldn't even be an issue to keep your dogs. But I had to make a decision. And it was one of the hardest ones in my life, and I'm only 22. I apologize if my last post was rude in any way shape or form, I was on the defensive, so to myfairlacy, I do apologize. Those are your feelings, and you are entitled to them. I had at one time shared those same beliefs. But thank you everyone for your PMs. They truly do mean a lot. As for Teddy, I got him before I got Theresa. He was able to get trained a lot better, and was sometimes a bit jealous when Theresa was there. So far, he seems to be okay. He still plays with all his toys, runs around the house in warp speed, he is doing everything that he has normally done. But I do know he misses her. He misses having someone to play with. And that is what hurts. Thank you for your time, Ashley |
I am so sorry to hear about your situation, do what your heart tells you to do. Good luck in your life and stay optimistic. |
I think what people sometimes forget is that what is a good decision for one person is not always good for the other. People handle things and life stressors differently, some better then others. I do not fault you one bit for your decision. One person said that no one would give up a baby because things got tight. If that was the case then we would not have adoptions and you wouldn't hear things on the news about babies being abandoned, etc. You at least went out of your way to ask for help and find her a good home. And whether I agree with it or not, I am sure you have made the best decision for you and your situation. I can only imagine how hard it would be. Just remember that what we all think is just that, our opinion and what we think. I have had to rehome a dog myself once. It was my daughters cocker. When I got divorced I moved in with my folks. I never imagined I would ever be divorced or have to sell my home. It was a very unforseen event in my life. When I was finally able to get my own apartment we took him with us, but he was a barker. When faced with eviction, I was forced to make the choice between him and my kids. I chose a home for my kids. I couldn't afford to come up with another first, last and deposit again. Fortunatly my folks kept him for us. I got lucky. It's not something I would want to do again but if i was unable to care for Alphy or give him the quality of life he deserved..... who knows.....I know that there are several people who would probably take him in a heartbeat and give him what I couldn't if it came down to it. Hopefully it will never come to that. You made a decision that you felt was best for you and the only thing that matters is that you feel good with your decision and can live with that. If you are ok with it and feel you did the right thing, then that is all that matters. I wish you the best and I'm sure you found her a good home. I commend people who realize they need help and take the necessary means to remedy the situation instead of neglecting it. :thumbup: :thumbup: Best wishes. |
I'm so sorry you're having to go through this sad situation. I hope things get better for you soon. |

I always said I would NEVER give up a dog once I took it into my home, heart, and life, but I have had to do it twice. We can't control every aspect of our lives and I have always thought the dog's welfare came first and that's why I did it. I won't try to explain why and know it was the right thing to do. Both dogs were much happier and better off in their new homes. I loved them dearly and wanted what was best for them. I know what you're going through. God bless. |

Ashley, Keep reading the good posts here. There is lots of support. Dont beat yourself up. You did what was right for YOU and YOUR family. That is all you can do! |
I just want to say that I'm sorry things turned out the way they did...And I pray Theresa finds that perfect home, forever. I also pray that your life's journey improves, and that you too are able to find happiness. |
