Hi, Allan. Because of you, I enclosed my deck with 8x4 plastic lattice, tied securely with plastic ties and feel secure. Before Sophie died, she would want to go outside on the deck, but was always afraid she would fall through because she was so tiny. Reading your posts, and hearing another story fro a friend whose tiny Yorkie fell to the ground, I went out and bought the enclosure so Charlie can venture out.
When you said you saw the Yorkie in the subway, I remembered seeing a Yorkie walking in the market (downtown Seattle). I followed the owner and dog, asked if I could just touch her dog (after telling her about losing Sophie). She was so generous, I patted the pup, felt her fur and then realized how strong her body was compared to little Sophie's.
I hope this message helps you in some way that I did respond to your request for all of us to secure our decks. Sophie is also on my cell phone background which makes me feel closer to her. As for pictures, I took so many videos and pictures when she was younger, and wish I would have taken videos of her in December. Like you, I just want to go back and look at her sweet little face.
Take care, Deborah |
