| Poor little baby! I'm in SHOCK! OMG, We were out shopping and we saw little Troy jump out of his car! I can't understand why people don't use car seats for their furbabies! You just can't drive with the window open and think nothing can happen. Poor Troys leg looked to me like it might be broken. The lady, said Oh he will be fine. I told her she should take him to be checked out, he looked in pain to me. She said well I can't, I don't have the funds it would take, "it is the Holidays!" I said yes it is, but emergencies happen and this is one of them. She just about went off on me, in front of my kids! Who were in tears for Troy. I said look, take her to my Vet, I'll call and make arrangements to put it on my bill, I'll even go with you! I just really feel he must be seen. I'll even meet you there, we can go right now. All I got was I think he will be fine, Thanks anyway. I told her the offer stands, I called our vet and told them what happened, and if she came in tonight or the next few days to take care of Troy, my card is on file, just give me a call. It's so sad, I'm just in shock people wouldn't take care of their babies. Is it me, was I wrong to stop! I hope he's OK, I wish I thought about telling her about YT, but I was just about in tears, and my kids were in tears. All I wanted to do was hug Princess, and let her know she will ALWAYS have the top of the line care. I'm so upset, our daughter is in tears. I tried to calm her down, I just can't wait for my husband to come home. I'm going to put a Christmas DVD on, maybe she will calm down with that. I'll check in tomorrow, my daughter is in the shower and she's going to need me when she gets out. Have a safe night all.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I think you wee right and more people need to speak up when we see cruelty and I think it is cruelty by not taking proper care of an animal. That was so kind of you to offer your vet and to pay for the bill. I hope your dtr calms down, how scary it must have been for the children.

| Oh, boy! I gather Troy is a yorkie, since you told them about YT. I can't believe something like that happened to begin with and then it's even harder to believe that they don't care enough to take him to the dr.

| That is so sad. Some people just shouldn't have dogs. I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination, so there are situations where an emergency vet visit really puts me out. But I do it anyway - because I have to! That's what I signed up for when I got my dogs. They can't take themselves!! God bless you for offering to pay - it's a shame that people can't see a good thing when it's right in front of their eyes...

| No Way! first let me say that you are an angel!!!!!!!!!!! Next! $&*(*%#@ $%*(*%## $%# &^%$# omg.....i cant even believe that lady not taking her baby to the vet. I am by no means a rich person, but when I first brought Dollar home and he got sick....I took him to the emergency room right away and yes it was very expensive...but I wanted the best for him and no price is too much! THat lady deserved a punch in the face! I mean in a way it is like having a kid...no one is fully ready, but you have to find ways to pay for it you know..???

| Ignorant people should not be permitted to breath our air! I would have done the same thing if not just wrenched the baby from her and took him myself! But I'm aggressive that way. Anyway, hopefully the little guy will be ok and heal up. And hopefully if something happens to his mommy (term used lightly) she wont' have to hear, she'll be fine we don't have the funds for the brain transplant that would help her think like a normal human. geez.

| Oh, and both my babies have carseats - Cinamin has one that is a harness type and she sits right in the seat with the kids, seatbelted in. Matthias has one that is like a basket thing he sits in, with his little harness on it is buckeled to the basket thing. Both only cost $19 each at Petsmart.

| Well I didn't hear any thing so I called my Vet. She was a no show. I really thought she would take him in. I know I would have. Poor little baby, I had dreams about him all night. I was so upset yesterday, I wish I would have told her about YT. She could sure learn a few things. If I hear from our Vet, I'll let you all know.
