We have been so excited/stressed today ... I am still trying to absorb everything that has happened!
kalina82 ... the only thing I know for certain is that his little right leg is broken & it broke two bones. I will know more details on Monday. Unfortunately, we do know the follow-up that will be required. We would really like to give him back by Christmas eve but everything hinges on what we learn from the vet. Because of the care involved, he may need to stay in foster longer than that ... we will just have to follow the vet's instructions on the timeline.
Gingergirlsmom ... Trish told the Dad and he literally burst into tears ... he certainly didn't ask and never expected this. When they tearfully said goodbye to little Reese, they never expected to see him again. We just left it up to him when to tell the child. I kinda hope that he went on & told her today. It breaks my heart to think that she has to suffer/grieve one minute longer than necessary!
Tatiana11 ... Thank you so much! I would love to take him to Alameda! They have
the most impressive doctors/hospital I have ever seen! We took Toto there 2-3 yrs. ago for every test that could be done. We knew that there was nothing wrong with her, I was just so paranoid about every tiny little thing that I read about, Patrick wanted me to be able to relax and enjoy her! They were absolutely wonderful ... and, pronounced her just perfect inside/out ... she was just about 2 lbs. overweight, which she still is!
livingdustmops ... thank you so much for your support/advice and especially for your humor! Sometimes you just need a good laugh to keep from crying! BTW ... I have been wearing "Big Girls" for longer than I care to remember sometimes!!
Trish & I have shed enough tears this week to last us for some time to come.
All of you just can't imagine what your advice/support means to us! We know it's going to be a struggle for some time to come for our rescue to be able to handle every situation that comes along. So far, we have had a miracle every time a situation looks so impossible or a Yorkie baby seems too old, sick or seemingly unloveable by anyone but us ... there has always been someone with a heart of gold that sees them as we do. God bless every one of you that "gets it" ... it's a very special gift that not everyone has!
