My Yorkie --Biggest Mistake! :(

[mminichan]

Did you get butters back yet???! I hope you reunion with your baby soon!!

[Rockster's Mom]

Family or not, they still have no right to keep you dog if you want it back especially if you were under the impression at the very beginning that this was a temporary situation. You never made the permanent agreement with them you mom did which was totally wrong on her part. I am very sorry this has happened to you. I would march over there and demand my dog back. If they did not work call the police and ask them for help. Sometimes you have to just get ugly with family. In my experiences with family, they are the ones that will stab you in back first before a total stranger will. Good Luck and I hope Butters comes home soon.

Amen to that!!

I believe you should really think this through and look at it at both perspectives. i wouldn't want someone to still my baby when they told me i can have them. even if it was for free and it was a mistake. still they had her (female right? ) for a few months and may be attached. They also may not realized they are doing something wrong. everyone thinks differently.

I'm not saying to not get her back (please do) but go at it in a way that can help both of you......Just my 7cents and a quarter

If you have seen inappropriate pictures online and feel that Butters is being mistreated, you should print those pictures out before they get removed by the relatives.

Try to work something out with them first to get her back. If they won't let you have her back, then you have the pictures as proof that she isn't being treated right, and you can take them to court if you have to. I know you want to try to avoid that, but it's for you baby's own protection!

I'm sorry your mom did that to you. As a mother, I can't understand how she could do it, but I don't know the whole story. I do hope you get Butters back!

I just want to let everyone that has so kindly posted, The relatives said they will not give her back because she's gotten to be really close to their 12 yr old daughter.

I'm not sure what to do now? Should I just let her go and stop trying? I don't know what to say to that. Gosh this is hard. I know that if I was the little girl, I wouldn't want my dog taken away.

[buddybramble]

Maybe you could try talking to your mum, tell her how you feel about what she did and that you hate how the situation is. Hopefully she will come to her senses and understand, she may then help you get Butters back, if she spoke to the relatives.

[chachi]

I think you should get a new yorkie. Butters has been with them for three months and I am sure they are attached to her by now

[TootiesMom]

maybe if you spent some time with Butters and the little girl you would get a better feel for their relationship and you would feel better about her having the baby..... just a thought, I truly am sorry you are in this predicament....

look she is your dog go get her back i think they are saying that as an excuss so that you will stop trying to get her back nothing in this world should be free cause when it is people dont apreciate it as much as they would have if they would have paid for it so please please please go get that poor baby who is probably missing you and there not taking proper care of her the gurl can get another dog but that one is yours and you shouldnt have to give her up for no one else. you said if you were that little girl you wouldnt want your dog taken away well you are that girl who got her dog taken away so go get it back she was urs from the start thats like giving away your baby be strong and dont take no for an answer i feel like your fam is using you and taking you for a person they can do whatever they want to and you wont do anything to fight back so please prove other wise and fight for your baby just my 2cents

If the dog is being mistreated I would simply go and take her back. I wouldn't care HOW they felt. If I knew my dog, was being mistreated in a second she would be out of that situation.

If the parents of the little girl aren't responsible enough to care for the dog, then it's just too bad. She can come visit the dog at your house.

I love my puppy Butters so much, more then anything. I know most on YT can relate. My mom honestly tricked me into giving her away to relatives.

I had to move in with my parents for a short time so I was going to find a baby sitter for my Butters until I found my own place. My mom made a deal with some relatives behind my back! to give my Butters to them while I was at work. While she was driving my dog over to their house I didnt have one single clue. She was already on her way to the relatives' house when she called me. I still can't express how upset, angry, furious I was and still am.

I called the relatives, I call them "the" relatives because they are not personally close to me at all. So I called them and I was so mad, I told them that I do not want them to have my dog, that they simply don't understand how much I love and care for Butters. They offered me $200 dollars for her, now that was like a slap in the face. She is worth wayy more then anything, she was my baby, my best friend.

To make a long story short - Because I was so insulted with the offer for $200 I simply made them promise to take good care of her and gave her to them for Free!! because of the whole living situation I really had no choice, my mom wanted her out and out now.

The story honestly goes just as I said it, it still upsets me that my mom would do such a thing to me. To this day she and I have not talked at all!!

I moved out, got my own place, and I am still so broken over my dog. I desperately want her back so badly. I saw an inappropriate picture of my Butters with one of their sons on his page today. That is what prompted me to write this, because I am so upset over that and more so at myself for making the biggest mistake on Butters behalf.

I am just praying to the Lord that somehow I can get her back. I wrote the relatives today and told them that I desperately want my dog back, that I would do whatever it takes pay however much to have her back with me. I know that they're not taking good care of her like they promised me they would.

I started looking for another puppy but no I just simply can't go on without at least trying to get Butters back.

Thanks for reading, I will keep you posted and let you know what the relatives say.
-Pray for Butters and I- Thank you & God Bless.

Above you stated that you made them promise to take good care of her before you offered her up for free. In that case them posting bad pictures of your little girl broke the verbal contract!! Therefore she belongs to you even more than ever!! You paid for her, you have her papers, they broke the contract...what more is there?! I would march right over there with a court order!!! Not kidding! This is your baby! Do you think they wouldn't do anything to you if you stole one of their children just because you are family? Probably not!! Go and get your baby back! I'm sure she misses you more then you miss her! She rightfully belongs to you!!!

[EmrldShdwQueen]

I completely agree ^

GO GET YOUR BABY! Get the police or whomever involved. Gather your evidence, including the innapropriate pictures and all your vet records, and MOST IMPORTANTLY the contract where you bought her. If the little girl is that attached to her then she can come and visit. THAT IS YOUR DOG!! You bought her, you brought her home, and you cared for her until she was forcefully taken from you! You have to stand up for your baby! Obviously you have suspicions (and possibly proof) that they're not taking good care of her, that's for a reason. Not taking care of a dog well after basically "stealing" her from you is not teaching that little girl good morals anyways. They have no written proof that you ever gave the dog to them, YOU have all the proof that she's yours! GO GET HER ASAP!!

[grayxie]

A yorkie is not an ideal pet for small children. Contact your local human society or rescue group if they can offer you any advice.

Disclaimer:What I am about to say next may sound mean.

Who cares if the girl is attached, she was your dog FIRST! You have been festering about this for a while now, you unwillingly gave her into their care. I could care less if its a "family" affiliation, you aren't talking to your mother and you aren't close to them so who cares if there is tension. If they offered you money for your dog, tell them they can use that money and adopt or buy another one. I'm sure their kids will get over it once they get a new dog. Also you should of went back to get her once you settled into a new place, instead of waiting this long to act on it. All you can do now is be persistent, or even help them find another dog.

This sounds so silly, you are willing to alienate yourself from your mother
but you do not want to make a fuss with "The" relatives to whom you are not even close?

You need to get yourself over there and 'save' your baby ...
even a birth mother has up to 6 months to reconsider the adoption process ....
