Hello all-
Thanks again for the kind words and encouragement. I am feeling a bit better today. Yes, I guess I am a softie. I worry alot about my two "outdoor boys"(the cats who have staked out my area as their territory for over a year now). Just picked a big fat tick off of one of them-
Max/Myles' owner say me walking TJ yesterday and gave a wave.

So I guess she might not be the dragon I had surmised.
As much as I would like to scoop him up, if I see him running free again, I will just take him back, with a sterner warning to get tags and a collar on him if he is a runner. The cars go very fast down our road, despite a 25 mph limit. I suspect that even a 5 mph car would kill a dog the size of max/myles.
I just worry when I see any animal out and about without leadership, care, or concern. Too often they (especially dogs) will turn to instinct to survive in a short time.
Thanks too for all the yorkie rescue sites and info. I will check them out and hang around here for more insights. I need to have a smaller dog in the house, as there is little room for anything else. I would prefer to have an adult as well, special needs is OK by me...those pups seem to have a harder time being placed.
I will save the Yorkie "stuff", but again, if any one of you (or anyone you know) is having a hard time financially or personally, and really needs a "starter kit", just give a holler, and I will ship free of charge.
