I cannot describe the feelings I have for everyone of you. Each of you have invested time into this community and you have made strong bonds with each other... I see it in the posts. I am new here and you have each treated me like an old friend. I would like to share a little about myself and why my bond to my dear Zeke is so strong. For the past fourteen years I have been wife and mother. I lost my identity along the way which I know happens to a lot of moms. I have wanted a Yorkshire Terrier all my life. I always said when I grew up I would get one. Well, I gave birth to my first child in 1993. This was not the time for a brand new puppy, so I waited. As Christopher got older my dream of getting my Yorkie was nearing. He was finally old enough to be trusted around such a small dog so I began searching for a breeder in our area. Before I could find a breeder I was surprised by the news that I was three months pregnant. So I thought great another seven years! So again I waited. This time however was a little different. My baby Cayden was three years old. In November of 2005 I almost died from internal bleeding due to a disease I did not know I had. I had to have several transfusions and was in the hospital for a couple weeks. I finally was released but it was short lived... a week latter I was back in the hospital with more bleeding. In just four months I had been hospitalized so many times the nurses knew me by name. I have Crohnes Disease and it is a chronic, incurable disease but with medication and/or surgery partial control is possible. For some reason the doctors could not get my bleeding to stop and I was on a lot of medication. In March I decided I was not going to wait any longer for my Yorkie. I know at the time this was very selfish of me because I was only thinking of myself. I was afraid I may die and I did not want to leave without ever having my Yorkie. I wanted a little girl so bad because I have two sons and never had a daughter and I wanted my girl. I found an add in the paper that day and drove out to see them... she had two boys no girls. For some reason when I picked up Zeke I could not put him down. Even though I knew I did not want a boy something drew me to him. I left there with him. I had not told my husband of my intentions. I think the saying goes... better to ask for forgiveness then for permission... I was taking that route. I had been reading my Bible and happened to be in the book of Ezekiel, to make it more dog friendly I shortened it to Zeke. After I got him I went into the hospital once more ( which my husband snuck him in for me  ) I have never been back I have been in remission since April of 2006. He is my angel, he always made everyday wonderful. I woke up every morning to licky faces as I call them and we went about our business together everyday. I now have a huge hole in my heart and I do not feel like the same person I was. I miss him so much my body aches. I know this was long and you guys are probably thinking, and why did we need to know all this, but I could not think of any other way to express the immensity in which I am so humbly grateful for everything you guys are doing for Zeke and I. |
Well now you have just given your testimony on how God can send who he wants, whenever he wants in any form he wants to help heal and comfort his children...its obvious Zeke is your angel and gift from God to whom you gave your undivided attention and did not think about your illness which allowed God to give you the remission that you needed and desired!!! I am sure that you have helped someone else on this site who may have needed to hear this!! So Zeke is still doing what God has wanted him to do and he will bring him back to you!!! Stay Strong and I will continue to pray for you and God Bless you for sharing!!!
P.s. I have really come to believe that the Yorkie Breed is Gods special gift to all of us who have one!!! These animals are phenomanal as their owners because all of you have hearts of Gold and are not afraid to help others in what ever way you can and that is truly a Blessing!!! I am glad to be a part of this community
