I saw her.... and need prayers

[Tsveta]

Yesterday I finaly saw my Kaya, I arrived in Bulgaria the previous day and couldn't wait to see my baby who I only saw on pictures, I was dying. I just melted down when I took her in my arms she was shaking and kissing me and was sooo....UNBELIEVABLE I couldn't sleep last night, I was just thinking and thinking about her...I'm taking her tomorrow morning and I'm really stressed cause I have a little obstacle /will tell u at the end of the thread bout it /. Unfortunately I can't post pictures from yestreday, cause I'm too "smart" and I left my usb cable for the camera in a suitcase which my friend is bringing on the 20th

So.. I have some questions... do u think a crate which is 60cm X 40cm X 30cm tall would be enough for her she's tiny, she can move freely in it, but just wanted to know your opinion.
And when I was checking her out yesterday I saw tiny white roots on her face. The rest of her body and the roots were as they're supposed to be, but those WHITE roots under the blask fur above her eyes and on her head looked pretty strange to me... do u think that's ok?

And now the obstacle.... My dad!!! He still doesn't know and I expect him to say NO, because he never let me have any kind of pet. But there is a chance, cause I live on my own and I'll be staying with my parents just for my vacation /1 month/ so...guys, pray for me, I really need luck to convince him take her tomorrow...
I was having a bunny which I wasn't keeping in a cage, soo he knew that one day when I come back home for a vacation i will bring the bunny with me and he was kinda ok with that but the bunny died so I think I have good chances for Kaya.... Awwwww

Congrats on your new baby! Your first meeting sounded awesome...
I don't know much in regard to the white specks of hair I guess.
But in regard to your Dad. Hmmm...If you live on your own and
you are just visiting I would say if he wants you to visit he had
better accept your new baby. I wouldn't give it to him like he has
an option I guess. Besides if he was willing to accept a rabbit I
don't think he would have any more problem with a cute puppy.

Hi, and congrats on Kaya. The white on her face sounds normal to me. Many pups have white patches on their face or chest. As the pup gets older the white starts to change or blend in with the rest of the hair. Yorkies don't get their final coat color till around 2 years I've read. How old is the pup? About the crate, in my opinion, the tiny crate is just temporary. And by that I mean just until she learns to stop pottying in there. As she grows and is doing well in her potty training I feel she should not be in a small crate but should have either an x-pen, or 2x3 foot wire cage or an enclosed room or part of a room in your home. That way she's safe but still has room to play. And potty training is much easier this way. Unless you can watch every move she makes, she's restricted to her special area. When you're playing with her, of course she's allowed out. I will tell you that crate training is a hot topic on this forum with lots of (sometimes) heated discussions. This is just my opinion and what has worked for me. Good luck with your dad. I said a little prayer for you.

I'm soooo jealous !! all these puppies - Congratulations and she sounds adorable - good luck and be prepared to get NO sleep for a few weeks !!

[suzysmitt]

Congratulations on your baby. I'm sure once your dad see's her he'll melt. Besides it's only for a month and I think he can survive.

[Annadoodle]

Oh..Congratulations! Let us know..
I think your Dad will melt over her also~

I asked my dad and he doesn't even wanna hear about it I'm so upset I don't get it, I don't see what his problem is he thinks I can't take this responsibility and for God's sake, I live alone!!!! I'm old enough to even have and take care of skin children
I'll have to move out if I want her and I WANT HER, I don't care what will happen, as long as I am with her

[Stitches29]

As much as you love Kaya already, I would say that if your dad said "NO", then it would be one short vacation for me. Good Luck.

I'm a little confused. You live alone but you'll have to move out. I hope that you make the right decision and go with your heart's desire. Nothing is more precious than a new baby yorkie!

[babi1542]

Good luck with the new puppy, do what your heart tells you. Are you living with them or by yourself?

I live alone in Dubai, but I went back to Bulgaria to see my parents for the vacation and I'm taking Kaya from here. I'll be staying with my parents for about a month and then will go back to my place. The thing is that my dad never let me have pets in his house, he doesn't care about my apartment in Dubai, but I'll be back there in 1 month so that's what bothers me now I'm thinking of moving to a place which is next to my parents' place for the vacation and at the moment my dad doesn't talk to me....hopefully my mum will convince him or I'll have to move out

[txshopper73]

Oh, I understand. I hope that your mum is able to soften your dad on this. Keep us updated and good luck!

Will the breeder be amenable to keeping her for another month, until it's time for you to return home? You could visit her everyday until then

[jwash]

How wonderful for you. This puppy will change your life in many ways, all for the good. I'd try to find lodging for a month that will let my little one stay too. Asking the breeder to keep her for another month is an option as well, but I know it would be hard to wait, again. You don't want to upset your parents but if you live alone and are now on your own,are financially responsible, it is your decision to make, not theirs. I'm not trying to be harsh I'm a parent too but if you are old anough for independence, it seems you are old enough for a pet. If you have not been responsible in the past, prove them wrong, be a great mom to this little one and they will soon realize you are right about this issue. As far as the month in the interim, if you cannot work out a place to stay or if the breeder won't keep her, I'd just have to make it a short vacation. Again, not to be harsh, but I would not want my little one there even for this month because she is a puppy who might cry at night or potty in the wrong place. I think I'd try to avoid an "I told you so" lecture before you have had a chance to train her. This is just my opinion. I will pray for you every day this month. Good luck

You guys, I'm sorry for wasting your time reading dramas I guess I made a huge deal out of the whole thing....out of my lifetime obcession /not joking at all, I used to visit a therapist when I was young because I wanted a dog so much and used to freak out/. After I came back to my parents' place everybody was happy, they were waiting for me, they were happy to see me and when I popped the question this afternoon everything turned into 360... my dad disapeared in his room and now doesn't talk to me, stays there and doesn't come out, I have a major headache from crying till now and mum is just in the middle - feels bad for me and can't even talk to him cause the efforts won't be positive now - he's the toughest person to deal with EVER.
And I really didn't think that will be so hard I thought he would say yes because it's just 1 month I can't return earlier and make my vacatoin shorter because I already signed my lease agreement which says I'm moving back to Dubai in september.... and I guess I just have to convince the breeder to keep Kaya for 1 more month although I've been counting the days and stuff... I can't just bring her home cause my dad would probably get a heart attack from me not listening to him, he's very touchy. And the plan for moving out is not good as well, cause that would spoil our relationship - u know, I come here to see them after a long time and then I move out because of a dog - yes, to me this dog means a lot but for him it's just a TOY or whatever and he can't understand it Aggggh.... and yes, I still depend on his financial support...

Thank you all for being so supportive and nice to me... makes me feel kinda better... and does not put the label "crazy" on me...
