| Divorce pending; REALLY gonna miss the Yorkies I know I shouldn't be posting personal issues here, but yesterday my wife told me that when she gets back in town she is going to retain a lawyer and suggests I do the same this week. (I've taken a couple days off from work.) I'll be very honest with you, leaving little Bella and Beau is going to be more difficult than the divorce. As flame-worthy as that statement seems, it is the truth. When I think of leaving my wife my eyes don't cloud up but when I think of leaving the Yorkies I'm on the verge of tears. Don't be too harsh with me. Please. |

| Actually both of them belong to her. Bella though, has taken to me big-time! Beau is just a typical little boy................. not a care in the world except for chasing the neighbor's dogs up and down the fence line and of course eating! I really love the little guy though. He thinks he's seven-foot-four and bulletproof! |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Get visitation trust me it's been done. I'd say take one and let her keep one but the dogs may miss eachother when you are at work. I am sorry to hear about your divorce.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm sorry you're going through this. I've read of this before, and sometimes they split up the dogs, each person taking one, and to me, that's the most heartbreaking. I've even read of one couple who felt that on their own, neither could care for all four dogs, and instead of each taking two, had to rehome all four of them separately. Have you checked out our rehoming forum? Yorkie Rescues & New Homes Needed - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community. One of these little guys are looking for a new home too.

| I'm so sorry to hear about your divorce. I doubt you'll get anyone trying to bash you here. We all adore our pups, and can understand the feeling. Pups just love you unconditionally and always help take you away from the human adult problems. I hope something works out so you can still take care of your pups. Our thoughts are with you!

| Oh my goodness I'm sorry, I know how hard it is to loose your beloved pet. Maybe your wife will let you babysit sometimes.. Or have them over on the weekends..

| So sorry to hear about this, but, if you paid for the dogs, then YOU Should be able to keep them. I would fight for them in court! |

| Thanks for your warm words everyone. It means a lot to me. I didn't realize it 'till just now, but I'll bet nearly every one of you thought this thread was started by a female. |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I thought your op said your wife told you to get a lawyer or something to that order so I knew you were a male from the start. I still think you should get shared custody.

Figured you were a male once you stated your wife wanted it but yeah, when I first saw the subject title, I did immediately think it was a female being as though most members are female..but we do have male members too..and they have the same problems..it works both ways.. It is amazing how these little guys really become one of the family. It's a sad situation for all. I really hope it willl work out, especially since you said one of them has a special bond with you. How do you think your wife would feel about joint custody and/or visitation? If not, maybe you can look into a rescue or something like Nancy stated. It may help you through this ordeal & one things' for sure...you'll always get unconditional love from these babies as long as they live! Best of luck to you!
