I'm furious at my wife.

Haha, cute little guy. I'd train it and keep it although I also like bigger dogs. Oh and talking to her about it might help.
 
You know what a yorkie trait is?

They don't call them the little pee dog for nothing. They pee EVERYWHERE. Heck if you look at them funny they'll pee right on the spot.
 
That's pretty rude of her, to get that dog without even talking to you about it. And letting it pee everywhere? WTF?

OTOH, I'm betting this isn't the first time you've given her the silent treatment. Is she waiting for YOU to capitulate, like you always do?

Exactly what I was thinking. I call shens on this being a "prize" unless you were there to witness it.

So, my wife, a great tennis player in her own right, wins a tournament last Saturday. ...


Not being a tennis player, is it normal to win an animal as prize from a tennis tournament?

Cute dog.

 
Splash of antifreeze in the water bowl, be sure to do it when she leave to work you don't want her taking it to the vet and racking up a bill for a dead dog.

Get the biggest dog you can find. One that will knock over your wife's favorite dishes when it wags its tail.
 
..big dogs are a litigation hazard. I had a Yorkie for awhile. good watchdog but got tired of the grooming chore so I traded her in for 2 chihuahuas. And there's no sutch thing as a "teacup" small dog.. just undersized runts unscrupulous backyard breeders breed to make non standard sized dogs that end up with tons of inbreeding health problems. If you see anybody advertising "teacup" anything run the other way. Look for a breeder that conforms with the "standard" for the breed.

Personally, I'd tell my wife to find a home for the fucking thing because it's ridiculous and not what we'd agreed on.

I agree with the above. You're being played.

I also detest little yappy rat dogs.

That's probably sarcasm (I hope) but that's a terrible way for an animal to die. Just shoot the fucking thing.

I vote for a pair of Great Danes. Two can play at this game.

What should I do?

1) Forgive the wife and just enjoy the lil' rat.
2) Take the pooch "for a ride."
3) Continue with the silent treatment until wife capitulates.

I'm at my wits end and need the always sage advice of ATOT members.



 
in reality you won't be able to get rid of it, so just go pick up your rhodesian(or even better a nice mutt from the humane society) and call it a day.

Agreed, this is a moronic prize.

Hell yea, take it back to the childish days of fighting. Fight fire with fire. Matter fact, go get a Rott or a Pit even better a Presa Canario. Show that wife what's up.
 
Get another dog for yourself, and let your wife take care of that one. Then everybody is happy and everybody can enjoy both dogs.
