What to do about ….?
Ok, I know this is a slightly ridiculous question but here it is:
I am 21 years old, and my mother has just passed,it has almost been 1 month since her passing. I have been living on my own with my boyfriend, and we have 1 Yorkshire Terrier in a townhouse. My mother lived in a large house with 2 cats, and 1 small Pomeranian. When she passed, the same day I told my mothers good friend to keep the dog, because I panicked because I cannot have 4 animals in a small town house! But over this past month, I’ve come to realize no one will take the 2 cats because one is 8 years old and the other is 14, and they are both indoor, declawed cats, and I’m not the type of person to put-down 2 healthy cats for no reason or drop them off on a farm or shelter when they have been used to a pampered indoor life!
So, because I cannot have 2 cats and my dog in a townhouse, I am going to use my inheritance to buy a house. Now that I will have a house, I can take back my mothers Pomeranian because I have the space for her now. BUT, now I have already given her away to my mothers friend…I do know that it is my mothers dog and I gave her away too soon after she had passed without truly thinking about it. My boyfriend and I were thinking about getting another puppy eventually if we had the space so our Yorkie could have a friend, and it just seems stupid to give away a fully trained Pomeranian, then go out and buy a little puppy, especially when I said I couldn’t keep her then I suddenly buy another dog! Even though I have my own puppy and am taking perfectly good care of him, I feel that my mothers friend thinks I cannot take care of the Pomeranian properly, which is wrong.
Now my question: Do I have a right to ask for the Pomeranian back? My mothers friend will take perfectly good care of the Pomeranian, but I know she is probably getting attached to the dog. Part of me feels she isn’t attached to the actual dog, but to the fact it was my mother’s dog.
What do I do? Ask for her back? Leave her? Thanks for any advice, I appreciate it.
First, I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my mom a month before my wedding and it is a very difficult thing to deal with. To answer your question, its not really a matter of the "right to take it back". I would be totally honest with your mother’s friend. Tell her you made decisions at a time you were still very distraught and not thinking clearly, and respectfully ask if you can have the dog back since your situation has changed. Do think about the dog though – where the dog would be most comfortable and happy. He has already gone through one very significant change when he lost your Mom. Does your Yorkie and the Pom get along well? Would it be happier at your place? Whatever happens, I hope it works out well for the both of you.
