After horrible stress in our family over her (the more stressed my husband became, the more I defended her, and the worse Roxie got with the stress, and the circle just got bigger), I contacted United Yorkie Rescue for some advice (who were the most wonderful people I ever met and also dealt with my own feelings of guilt and shortcoming). With their help, I ended up having to rehome her two states away to a home with no children, no pets, limited visitors, and the tools to deal with her. Long story short, I was devastated and couldn't come near YT. It took a few years before we were ready to try again. Coby is a darling and the perfect example of a healthy yorkie. So, I'm baaaack. 
We've had our Shi Tzu (who also has severe storm and camera (the lightning-maker) phobias, which makes it nearly impossible to take pictures!) for 10 years. |
I am so very sorry your first experience with a Yorkie was not the best. But I believe you did the best thing for Roxie, maybe a little better situation for her special needs. But at least it didn't turn you away from Yorkies, and you were able to bring Coby into your life and home, to share so much happiness with each other. Welcome again to you and Coby, you are a great addition to the YT family of friends!!!
