A wonderful "retirement" home ... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Keven · 04-13-2009, 03:19 AM

Morning ladies and gents!

I'm hoping someone here might be able to offer me some direction. My mission: to find an older female yorkie to "retire" with my mom.

Mom's currently going through chemotherapy for the third time in 20 years - she's a repeat survivor and isn't real computer savy (can't even turn one on), so has asked me to help her out. What she's interested in is an older female - who's just looking to spend days and nights "hanging out" and being loved.

My parents live in South Louisiana (Lafayette) in a lovely home with a huge fenced backyard. There are two other dogs here, both older and calm and all recently had to say goodbye to their 18 year old friend, Raisin' Cane (yorkie).

My mom's had two yorkies in the past - Raisin and one before named "Noggin", who lived to see 17 years. Both had wonderful lives and to this day remain loved - they are missed daily and always will be. Mom's heart is opened to love another but this time, I think we have a bit too much on our plates to start a small puppy. I have checked and will continue checking the rescues!

My thanks for any direction ...

Kev

Kevin, does this mean it's a go??? Woo hoo. Make sure you get a picture of mom seeing her little girl for the first time and post it

YES! It's a go! I'll be back in DFW tomorrow evening and will be sending Catrina's plane ticket money first thing Wednesday morning. I'll be back in So. LA at the end of the month for Mom's second round of chemo and plan on bringing the babe back with me - spayed, groomed and all ready to move in!

Of course, I'll have to buy her the right outfit. South Louisiana ... probably something "french" - beret or barette - hmm. Oh, I'm so excited. I haven't seen my Mom with such a genuine smile in a very long time. I'm going to owe Natalie the rest of my life.

kalina82 · 04-13-2009, 06:18 PM

cj125 · 04-13-2009, 06:28 PM

Wow - that is so kind and generous of you to do this for his Mom!! And Kev, I'll keep your Mom in my prayers. Hope the chemo isn't too hard on her.

What a wonderful story! I can read the love you have for your mom in your posts. It's all there between the lines. Made me want to tear up just reading this. So much compassion from both you and Natalie. I think both of the "girls" are going to be very thankful! Awesome!
