Adopt this girl? Can I handle Three? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

tmatherly · 08-05-2007, 03:49 PM

My heart is just aching. I got an email last week about this little girl in my area (I had my search saved when I was looking for a male when I got Scout). She just seemed to be calling to me from this picture. I emailed the rescue group about her cause she just looked so pitiful. They said she was turned in because her owners "could not afford her upkeep". But they told me her adoption was already in progress. I told myself that it was as it should be because I really have my hands full with my two and it wouldn't be fair to them to add another dog, one that might have issues.

They emailed me today and said her adoption didn't go through. So now my heart and my logic are having a struggle.

Here is a pic of Cookies. She's in Tulsa, OK.

It seems to be one of those situations that was "meant to be"! Follow your heart....she's a sweetie!

Betty'sMom · 08-05-2007, 03:54 PM

Awww...poor baby. She looks like she needs someone to love her

wengaroni · 08-05-2007, 03:55 PM

ommgosh she is so precious! if you don't get her, i will! just kidding.

actually, i'm looking for another girl, but the bf told me to wait another year.

TinyBit · 08-05-2007, 04:00 PM

Do what "feels" right.
If you don't take her, do you have any friends who like yours so much they'd like a yorkie?

paulapoo · 08-05-2007, 04:01 PM

Oh, I say go for it!!!! She looks like she needs youl

Graleyne · 08-05-2007, 04:04 PM

I say go for it! I have 4 little dogs and trust me, once you have two, the rest are no more trouble at all. In fact, its a blessing because they all keep each other entertained. If one wants to play they can always find at least one of the other 3 willing to play with them!

daisysis · 08-05-2007, 04:06 PM

It i is a lot more love-in and puppy kisses
I tell my husband when we reach about 50 pounds of dog I will stop.
I have 3 and it only adds up to 15 lbs LOL
good luck I say GO FOR IT..

Well I now have three......first female Tara, I got as a puppy in 2000, then I took on a male, 19 months old called Casper in 2004, and then I took on another female in 2006 called Tammy when she was 3. All are four pounds in weight.

LOL...I guess I didn't think you'd talk me out of it. How do you walk three dogs?? I finally have walking two of them myself down.

Superstarkba · 08-05-2007, 04:19 PM

Beautiful little girl!! I think shes meant for you, especially since her adoption didn't go through. Thats just God saying "heres your baby".

They are so, so precious!!! Ohhhh, you guys are making this so hard! My husband said, "honey, you don't need another baby" but I know he'd let me have her if I want her. I think I will probe for more information from them, such as: Does she get along with other dogs, What kind of potty training is she used to, does she have any aggression issues with food or other things....Anything else you guys can think of??
