And, to the op, you need to remember, at least Sonja let everyone know how many dogs she already had. Someone may get your 2 and then fall in love with yorkies so much, that they end up getting yorkie pups and pushing the older 2 out, I've seen that happen more time than you'd imagine

You have a good reason there. There are people who just get more dog after and push the older dogs out. I don't know how some people could do that but they do.

That would be six dogs total and that definitely seems obsessive to me. I want to do what is right for my boys and I just don't feel this situation would be best for them.

Thanks again for all the offers and, Sonja, no insult intended. I'm sure you're a wonderful mom to your furry kids. I hope you all understand that I have my boys best interest in mind.

oops I had to jump on this comment.. I have 5 adults.. two babies.. and each and every one is loved beyond.. they get dressed and we have many on the forum that have 6 dogs.. we travel everywhere with ours.. never leave them.. so saying that sonya might have two many is not always a case for neglect.. some people can take your two and not to say they will be treated any better... sorry I have not read on yet.. but had to jump in here.. anyone that knows me.. knows my dogs are my life... and yes I am stay at home also.. they come first...

so rethink this.. and a train is only people that are perfect for the job and dogs are more looked after then you would ever imagine in your lifetime..I do not trust many with my dogs.. but the right people on here without a doubt I would trust to deliver safely...

thanks for reading my post... anne

Thank you all for being so kind to defend me. The OP and I had a private conversation and everything is squared away between us.

So please let's go back to the original purpose of the thread which is to find a great forever home for two adorable baby boys!!!

I'm sorry but I have to agree with what someone else said. You may have commited to be with your wife but you also commited to be with your dogs too. It just seems to me if you care as much about them as you claim to, that you would have made sure whoever you decided to be with, loved dogs as much as you do. Just my pov.

That aside I wish you the best in looking for a home for your babies and hope that you can find exactly what you want so you can live your life with your new wife.

I kind of agree. even thou This member is agreeing to take both dogs and already has 4, I think shows her love for Yorkies.
But Im with the OP on this one. If those were my two boys.I would not want them rehomed with some one that already has more then one dog, Ive had three at once and I am also a stay at home mom to my Yorkies,and I dont see how people do it with more then three. I know I could show 5-6 dogs lots of love. but I perfer the one on one time more. for my two were with me at all times 24/7 When I take in a dog I make it a life long commentment.
( But not the 300 rescues I have took in, those were to have their own homes)
I really couldnt be with some one that didnt love my dogs like I do. but everyones different. Im just glad the op is taking his time to make sure his boys go to forever loving homes. Its so hard to know how people really are and who to really trust with your dogs/pups. this is the internet. and even with people who say I only have one, they might not be what you wnated for your boys either.
I was in on one of the YT trains. and to be honest it bugged me alot. I feel for those dogs having to be put with so many different people on such a long drive. its very stressful on those animals.

When I first read the op post the whole time I was thinking, here you go Mike. 2 sweet baby boys. but now see how far that is.

Really?? Im a long time member and know a few, but not well enough to trust with my babies.I dont even trust my family with mine, lol. I want to know what their doing and how they are at all times. but Im a worry wort.

OMG you guys are out of control! This man very politely said that he didn't feel as Sonja 's home was going to be the right fit for his boys, no offense to her. She replied saying there was no offense taken. Then everyone gets all defensive for her and says that they take offense to something not even directed at them! I'm sorry, but I can help but laugh. Drama must be made out of everything here on YT!

To the OP, I'm sorry you have to find a new home for your boys, it must be very difficult and heartbreaking. Best of luck to you finding the perfect home for them.

Thank you for posting this. I know you realize that this was never about you being a bad mommy. Everyone else jumped in and made this thread what it has turned into. Not you. These are still his dogs and he is the one to decide. he would sure turn me down. I have seven.LOL i still commend him
for sticking to what he believes in. I think people ought to leave him alone. maybe they will after you posted this.

I sent an e-mail!! Me and my hubby want some brothers for Bandit, he is so lonely, I know he wants some playmates!! I will be checking my e-mail when I get home to see if I have a reply!!

You should reread his post.....not 4 and then 6...4+2=6.... And I don't mean to be rude, but you are saying that you love your dogs so much and you have 6 almost 7 but you have 2 living OUTSIDE....How is that a fair life to them, to not be part of the family...I don't think anyone should own a dog unless you are willing to let it live in your home with the rest of the family..Since everyone is throwing in their 2 cents, that's mine.....

[tatertot15]

Why is everyone attacking everyone else on here. The purpose of this thread is to find a good home for Jackson & Bear. His reasons for giving them up should not be up for discussion, it is his life. If he feels he is doing what is best for them then let him. He also said that he is working odd shifts and can't give them the time they deserve, are you going to tell him to quit his job because his work doesn't respect that he has dogs at home? He is not asking for opinions about his life he just wants to find his boys a good home and one where they do not have to travel a long distance to get there. So please stop talking about him and his new wife and help find these two a wonderful home.

Yes, that is correct. I have a german shepherd and a golden retriever that live outside(remember, I'm in SC, not like it gets cold). They have a huge dog run, they also get run of the back yard for 1/2 -1 hour a day with us playing with them. They get loads of love, heck, we even stay out there with them when they get fed(the same time each day) with their goodies in their food) and they have 2 dog houses built inside their huge shelter. This shelter also has a roof and insulation in it. So, as far as my outside dogs. Yep, they're out there, and I love them too, and they probably get more attention that some skin kids I've seen. And they dont mind being out there, believe me.

Oh, another thing, Is after I wrote that, I went back and re-read the whole thing, and I did see what the 4 and 6 were. I just didn't think I needed to come back and say "excuse me", I see now where the 4 and 6 came from.

Are they potty pad trained, or do they go outside?
