Thank you so much! You have no idea how comforting it was to read your post. I just miss her so much. She was such a kind hearted dog that I know something just had to make her uncomfortable. One thing is the breeder will let me come see her anytime I want.

I would just like to add that it really irritates me to no end that people don't take the responsibility to monitor their children's behavior around pets of any kind. Natuarally if the parents never take the time to instill these values in their children, then the kids will not know how to properly treat and handle the animal. I don't blame the child, or the dog for needing to defend itself--I have to question the parent who never paid attention to what was going on or took the time to teach the child any better.

I know what you mean! I'm always right beside him and if I'm not my husband is. That's how I caught her so fast. You just can't leave children and pets unattended. I knew she had went to a bad home once, but never knew it was because of a child. I just blame myself for putting her through this. If I would of known I never would of did this to her. Poor thing. I offered anything to help the situation. I made sure my son didn't ever bother the pets. I was irritated and like I said I feel like the lowest low right now, I might as well be dirt. I would never do anything to hurt an animal, esp. one that I loved so much. I truely think she wanted her back because, yeah it wasn't a good situation here, but she jumped the gun and hurried up to get her here. It kinda made my decision for me.

Yeah!! I was going to ask about that.

I'm so sorry you had to rehome her, but you have to put your baby boy first. She is a very sweet little girl. At least you can check on her and make sure she's doing ok. How's Tilly acting? Sounds like the breeder really did want her back, so you know she'll have a good home. I'm sorry your hurting, we fall in love with them so deep and so fast. I wish I could give you a hug!

Thanks Paula! When we took Tilly for a ride earlier she came back searching for her. Now she is on their pillow bed sleeping. I think she will miss her, but she loves the attention so I'm sure it will be easy for Tilly. I had my goodbyes with her before the breeder came then I left I just couldn't see her leave. Hubby said she was all excited to see them and was giving lots of kisses. That made me feel better. The breeders hubby is a truck driver and on our way to the meet-up, every semi we would pass she would get all excited. Like she was looking for him. It just hurts. I know she will be loved and cared for there though. If I get to missing her this weekend I can always go get her for a couple hours. I just don't want to confuse her or make it hard on her by seeing us.

Ahh Im sorry hon, But I think you did the right thing, Your child must come first, I hope you feel better soon, Big hugs to you.

Tillys_mom · 09-04-2007, 05:04 PM

I'm really glad everyone has been so supportive. I was so afraid I would post this and everyone would get upset with me. I already lost my baby, I didn't want to lose friends. Thanks everyone!

I don't necessarily agree with what the breeder said about an aggressive dog always being aggressive since I have first hand seen the change in many dogs with terrible aggression when given the proper training.

But I'm sure you did what you think is best for your family and I'm glad that JJ is very happy in her new home.

It can NEVER fix the hole I now have. I've been crying all night.

friesianlady · 09-04-2007, 06:14 PM

Oh Hon, you did the right thing for both your son and JJ.. Why should anyone be angry with you, you did what was best for all..JJ will always have a place in her heart for you also..

mizzwanned · 09-04-2007, 06:18 PM

I am so sorry! But you did do the best for her and for your family. I'm sure she will go to a home that has no kids and she will be fine.

MrsWiseguy · 09-04-2007, 06:20 PM

Sometimes the right thing to do is also the hardest. I'm so sorry.

LoveMyJake · 09-04-2007, 06:33 PM

I wish your breeder had warned you about the puppy's background. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I know it hurts. Maybe you can get another yorkie when your little boy is older.

GG3 · 09-04-2007, 06:42 PM

I am so sorry.

Rae Rae · 09-04-2007, 07:42 PM

I'm sorry you had to give her back

Just remember you did the right thing, it seems she was happy when she saw her breeder, and you don't want her to live in an environment where she's stressed. Just don't forget you did everything you could for her, and you're a great person to do what's best for her, even if it's hard for you.
