| Darn it! I thought it was on some of the previous Shira posts, but I guess not because I couldn't find it. LoveMyBabies has been in contact with the foster mom (she paid a huge part of her medical bills), so she might know. She did say the foster mom was super nice, though. Foster mom's e-mail: fuzzywug@aol.com Isn't she the cutest little thing?

| Oh my gosh!!!!!! I hadn't read this story before. I am in tears for this little sweetheart. Do you think her foster mom could let her be adopted out. Man I couldn't. I wish I could get her but you have to live in the state they are fostered in don't you?

| OMG! Now I am really excited. I can't wait, either. Let us know as soon as you know something. OK???? I'm so glad you found it on the old posts. I thought it was there, but when I looked I just couldn't find it!

| I spoke with Trish yesterday ... Shira is doing well, but still has a long recovery. We may have an opportunity to meet her this afternoon ... we are so excited! Trish sounds like a wonderful person and has rescues other than Shira. Also learned that Shira's surgery was done at the hospital where Toto sees her local vet. Will keep you updated!

| Oh, my! I suppose it was hopeful thinking that she was ok now. I know how sorry I felt for that little doll. I don't know how people can do things like they did to her. I did notice that when they spoke of her recovery that she couldn't swim and that therapy didn't work out. I hope you get to meet her. She's pretty as a picture, so to speak!

| Karen ... Her recovery will take quite a while, as I understand it. Trish said that she went for her first walk on Friday! We are really excited to get to meet her! She sounds like such a little sweetheart. Trish also said that she had never been allowed to get on the sofa or bed and had to sleep in a crate at night. I cannot imagine sitting on the sofa or sleeping without Toto snuggled up to us! Lily's Mom ... We aren't sure yet if we are ready to have two babies or that we would be able to adopt her by meeting the criteria. We have been seriously discussing getting another but we will have to know without a shadow of a doubt that we can make the same committment that we made to Toto. As far as providing for her, yes, she would have the absolute best there is but there are so many considerations ... not the least of which is Toto's reaction. We haven't had the opportunity to really socialize her with other animals due to her size. Everyone that we know who are animal lovers have large ones and she is just terrified of most of them! So for now, we will just take it one step at the time. I will keep you updated.

| Visited with Shira! She is adorable! We had a great time this afternoon! Visited with Trish & family for 2-3 hours. They are wonderful and Shira is healing up very quickly! It will still be approximately 6-8 weeks before she will be completely healed but she is just a gorgeous little girl and walking very well on 4 legs! That poor baby has been through so much ... she is just a sweetheart and it's hard to understand how anyone could ever mistreat her! That's OK, because she is adjusting nicely with people who love her and don't mind her at all sitting on their furniture or sleeping in their beds!! She makes it pretty clear that she really loves Trish's daughter ... they have a really special connection! She insists it's because she is the one who went to pick her up [her "rescuer"] but I believe it's because Shira knows that Heather loves her! The surgery that she went through was very painful but successful and her hair is growing back and she is just such a precious baby! She naturally didn't leap into our arms nor become an instant friend of Toto! We just visited and allowed all the pups to kinda play if they wanted and get used to each other. Toto is not socialized with other dogs and today was the first time she has really spent time around other small ones. Trish's male Yorkie, Tango was particularly taken with her! After they all visit a few times, I believe they will all eventually become friends and we will just see how things go. Right now, the Miller's are tired and getting ready to call it a day ... matter of fact Toto ate her dinner and immediately climbed onto her Queen bed and passed out!! We will move her to our bed and she will never wake up!

| I think it's so nice that they are so close to you. Toto will probably find he loves having friends to play with! It's nice that you got to spend some time with them. However things turn out with Shira, I'm certain that she will be loved for the rest of her life. I could be wrong, but I would think that a little dog that had been treated the way she was treated would be a bit stand-offish with people until she grew to trust them. I think her hair is pretty. Kacee's head is turning pale blonde and her back is turning silver.

| It is nice to finally find Yorkie lovers here in Grand Junction! I hope that Toto can make friends and at last learn some social skills with other animals ... she doesn't meet a "human" stranger so we have done pretty well there! I do hope that in time Shira will learn what a loveable little girl she really is ... she has had such a sad little life! My Patrick would love to have about 10 minutes "quality time" with the man that so mistreated her! I suppose it's a good thing that he won't ... it would not be a pretty sight! Shira's little hair is growing back ... dark at the root and a gorgeous silver color at the ends. I believe that she will be a beautiful little girl in time, not that she isn't now, but her little legs are so tiny due to the lack of exercise. I believe in no time she will have great little muscles like Trish's babies. They get lots of good exercise and have the neatest muscles in their little legs ... I hadn't really paid much attention to muscles but realized yesterday that Toto has nothing on hers but pure fat!! Sadly for her ... her new exercise regimine starts today!! Another realization for me is that Toto has been pampered entirely too much! Today is definitely the "first day of the rest of her healthy Yorkie life"!! As far as Shira coming to live with us ... we have already discussed it a lot [Patrick & I] and yes, at this point we would love for her to become a member of our "happy little band" if we should qualify! BUT ... it will be entirely up to her! We will see over the next few weeks how things go and if she seems to warm up to us and she and Toto get to know each other ... we'll see! The last thing in the world we would want would be for her to be unhappy ... she's had enough of that in her short little life and it would break our hearts to think she didn't really want to be in our home! We just love her already ... can you tell?! We'll just take it one day at the time!

| Aww, that's wonderful that you went to visit Shira, bettyeanne! That would be so heartwarming to hear your family adopt little Miss Shira, I hope that all works out for you. You and Patrick have such great hearts, and Toto will have a blast with Shira around! Good luck, I can't imagine any other family spoiling Shira as much as you guys would! |
