You know what really scares me about this rehoming thing is the sincerety of the "new" owners. Three times now I have seen where someone places a post or an ad on a site to adopt out their dog for a fee! They buy the dog and turn around and sell the dog for more than what they paid for it and the original owner never knows. It breaks my heart! Not too long ago someone needed to rehome their yorkie (on YT thread) and their were like five "newbies" with 1 or 2 posts and "just" joined YT that posted they wanted her dog! I PM her not to sell to Newbies and warned her why and the dangers. One poster I knew and said she would make a good mommy to her baby. But begged her to at least not let a newbie take her! Don't know what happened and she never replied to my PM.

Is "Scrappy" one of her other dogs??? Now I can see where rehoming may be necessary if there are two dogs that are at each other's throats all the time but wow, I was sadden by the story!

I honestly doesn't sound like she has invested too much time nor has too much time to invest with this Yorkie boy!
It's just sad!

It is really sad. Sounds like she's at her wits end.

Have you heard of Sam Simon? The are doing a show on him on 60 minutes tonight. He rescues strays and takes them to his 5 acre (i think) home and keeps them and gives them a second chance at life. His place looks incredible! I think I will go and watch it, if you don't mind.... I've never heard of the guy but it looks pretty cool.

see ya later...

See ya, maybe I'll go and take a peek at it too!!!

I don't think "newbies" ought to be allowed to adopt from here. Isn't there some talk now about making that a rule? People should at least know the basics of someones life before they give/sell a dog to them!

I know, nothing good.... I'm trying to get Tinka (my cottony girl) to go potty outside so I can brush her but she won't go. I think she knows what is coming! It's time for a cut for her. Her hair is so unmanagable. I have ordered Plush Puppy stuff for her, so we'll see if it will help or not. If not, off goes the hair!

That was spoken as someone who truely lives in warm climate!!! Tinka actually gets warm easily. She is bigger - probably 8 lbs, so she's not a tiny little lady - more like Yorkiezilla.

Okay Okay, from another angle then; Yorkies in long coats are so deliciously beautiful!!! No cut!
