| Need To Vent!!! :( Hi everybody... I know everyone here looooves their yorkies, but I have got a story to tell! I have a friend who is "babysitting" someone's yorkie. First of all, she left specific instructions NOT to feed her dog! And this dog is Tiny!! Her ribs and hips are sticking out and she looks feeble and tired all the time, not at all happy, bouncy, and playful like my yorkie! The dog came to my friend dirty, matted, and as skinny as a baby water bottle. (the ones that kids drink..tiny) She was soooo hungry the poor thing... Ok, long story short, she said she didn't want us feeding her dog because she lived in an apt and wanted to keep her small!! About two weeks later, the girl brings her dog over to my friends' house again!! ( I mean usually I would only leave my dog at a friend's if I couldn't take her with me... like on a trip somewhere...) She was dirty, matted, and STINKY! The girl had the nerve to bring over shampoo!!!! ( I helped my friend wash that girl's dog because I felt bad FOR THE DOG) How do you do that??? How do you bring a stinky dog over and tell them its for a week or so (no pay of course) and bring shampoo to say, here, biatch, make sure you wash her too like last time!!! The NERVE!! .... AND it turns out the dog is in HEAT!!?? So when my friend brought her over to my house to play with my lola, she stank and bled everywhere! I bathed her again of course. purely for the dog, I can't stand the fact that SHE BROUGHT SHAMPOO!!! uuuuuughhhh! I could scream! And I'm starting to think that she didn't want to deal with the dog's heat so she brought her over "for a week or so". THis is my friend's sister-in-law's friend so I have no place to complain.. but it seems like I'm doing all the work and that's ONLY cuz I feel bad for the poor girl... some ppl do not deserve to be yorkie owners!! I know I'm not over-reacting... am I? please someone out there... agree with me!!!! I love my yorkie and would NEVER do anything like this girl...WITCH!!! |

| OMG!! I can't believe someone would treat their precious furbaby that way AND expect others to basically take care of it for her!! Have you thought about contacting the local animal control in your area to have them investigate her? I would be on the phone bright and early tomorrow morning!!!

| Just what I was thinking, sounds like total neglect to me !!! I would secretly take her to my vet to see what they think, and then report her a** !!! Poor girl, she needs lots of TLC !!

| I can't even stand leaving mine to go to work, never mind leaving him with someone else to take care of AND bathe! This person does NOT deserve this dog! I can't believe she won't feed her because she wants her to stay small! That is HORRIBLE! She needs to be reported and this little baby needs to be put in a home where people will love her, FEED her and BATHE her. grrrrrrrrrrrrr |

| i think its time for someone to take action and get this poor little girl relocated!!! And not to feed her so she stays small!!???? Is she nuts???? My male is skinny too, but its not for the lack of food, thats just the way he is, he eats all the time, and then for her to bring over the dog and get you to wash her..........well at least you know she is better with you guys and is taken care of! Some people!

| I have an idea that she (puppy) will be back...I will tell my friend to have a talk with her to let her know that this is no way to take care of a dog. I think this girl is just avoiding responsibility. But since she is a friend of a sister-in-law of a friend, I don't want to report her just yet. I have been feeding her dog plenty, anytime she's hungry, and I have given my friend lots of 'chicken soup' sprinkled with missing link so she has plenty of food. She is gonna have to deal with her dog perhaps gaining some weight. Good news is, my dog is helping her dog to gain a personality. She is a little more playful and less afraid the second time around. Does anyone know about dogs in heat? do they get constipated? hm... my lola is spayed and before her I've always had male dogs... any help will be appreciated... I just wanted ppl to tell me I'm not crazy for being angry with her, it's kind of crazy that I'M the one on here asking for help with HER dog... thanks y'all. |

| You are NOT crazy! I would be so mad if I seen a dog like that! She needs to either take care of this dog properly OR give her to someone that will! I just feel so bad for her. Why do ppl get animals if they won't take proper care of them? Keep us posted! |

I like this plan. Or you can ship her to me and tell her the dog ran away. | |

| I'm with Peters. I'd tell her the dog got out and you can't find it, then find her a good home.
