|  Terrible News!!! Advice?!?!  My little Chompers... I might not be able to get him...  I just got a call saying my pay was going to be held back because something happened in transit with the computer system... I wont be able to get my paycheck until the following paycheck... To top things off, my sister fell, (she has a brain tumor), and may have to go to the hospital... I was supposed to go see Chompers this weekend, and put a down payment on him for them to hold him... All I have is whats left in my account... Like 60 dollars, and I'm supposed to give them $200!!! I don't want them to think I am irresponsible or that I can't afford him... I asked my father if he could forward me the money, but he is on a limited income and has cataracts and needs surgery... he said he could send me the money, but not for 2 weeks!!! So then I might as well wait for the check!!! I feel hopeless... I can't help but cry just thinking about it... I really want Roxy to have Chompers... She needs a playmate so she isnt sad anymore... I hate when I'm doing something and she looks at me with those... "I'm so lonely" eyes... She really misses her Yorkie friends she was raised with... Anybody have any suggestions??? *Look at her crybaby faces!!!* What am I gonna DO?!?! *beats head* I'll keep praying for some luck...  So far, its all been bad luck...

| I've never heard of a paycheck being held until the next paycheck...something doesn't sound right there. I would say this is a time to put your energy into positive thoughts and be creative to get by. Do you have anything you can sell or a jar full of change you could cash in? |

| I told them that too, that I thought it was ridiculous. They said we have to send all new time sheets in to them (its a work at home thing, I take care of my sister)... and then they have to be sent again, and the checks have to be cut and sent to us. I can't ask my Mom she works through there too...

| Thats a good question Lacy... I will ask them first thing tomorrow... But I am sure everybody would want one if they could. I dont know if they even have cash there, or cut checks... I could always ask though, it doesnt hurt does it??? The only thing they can say is Yes or No...

| Can you tell the breeder what's going on? Maybe they can hold him with a $50.00 deposit for 2 weeks. I'm so sorry.

| YorkieCrazy... I have been thinking about this... Just telling them I will give them what I have... Its a great idea... But.. I am afraid that they wont accept it... or try to find someone else for him... I really adore him, and I am going to pay for the rest of him once I get my tax return, cause I know it will be HUGE.... I've worked my butt off all year!!! which is why I dont understand why this is happening right now! But... I mean, if I dont figure something out, I will have to ask... I just dont want her to think I am trying to rip her off or anything...

| Since you've already put a deposit down on your little one, the breeder may be willing to wait 2 weeks. It won't hurt to ask...things to happen. My breeder held on to my little Kaylah for 3 weeks due to me having to travel for my job. Just ask...you never know. A lot of breeders have really good hearts and are very compassionate. Hope everything works out for you and I'll keep your family in my prayers.

| Call the people that have the puppy, and say that you can't come get the puppy this weekend as you just found out your sister has cancer and you need to be with family.. And ask to make arrangement to come get him at the time your check should be in.. Or look for another way to try to make some quick money by selling something you own that you don't need, or don't use..  |

| Actually Kaylah, they are really nice.... thats the problem... I havent put down a deposit yet, I was supposed to go over this weekend... Its an hour and a half drive... And I will have to put gas in my car... so that will leave me with only about 60 dollars... They have been holding him WITHOUT a deposit, thats how NICE they are... But if I dont have the money this weekend, at least the 200 I am afraid they are going to think I am taking advantage of them and just tell me forget it.

| Unless you have some way to come up with the money I don't see how there is any other choice other then letting them know what happened with your paycheck and asking them to hold off 1 week. Would they accept a post dated check?
