RE: the following thread about the "hairless Yorkie"

Ugh.... I am just heartsick over this little guy.... he has such sadness in his eyes...

I never should have looked at this post....

A part of me wants to just pass him by, in hopes that "someone else" will stand up for him and take on what is sure to be a multitude of health problems - and maybe even an extremely shortened lifespan due to his "blue born" genetic problems - or possibly facing a reality of euthanasia if he develops the VERY PAINFUL "elephant skin" condition - not to mention possible temperament issues (which is the least of concerns, but a concern, still... with children and other furbutts in the house) if he has indeed spent the past 16 weeks of his life in a puppy mill environment....

And let's not even THINK about the financial strain it's been with the unexpected expense of the furfaces I ALREADY have comitted myself to caring for.... and knowing that this little guy will undoubtedly bring with him an even bigger financial burden (which I am really not in the position of funding alone)....

But then there's that "other" part.... that BIGGER part of me... that wants to bring this amazingly beautiful (to me, he is) little baby boy home where we can hold him close and care for him.... and fight our hardest to assure that he never wants for anything again! That he never has to endure a single lonely moment... never needs to feel threatened or unsafe... and learns the love of a family (both fur and skin) of his very own!!

True, I don't NEED another animal in the house... in fact, I already have what city ordinance will allow... but (I know, all these "but's"!!) Even if we were to bring little Jerry (he SO needs a new name!) home long enough to place him in a breed specific rescue if need be... or with another family.... it would HAVE to be better than being the "poster child" of ill health on puppyfind.com!!

I haven't even held him, but this special little creature holds my heart already!!! Ugh!!!

Talk quick, people..... I've already contacted his "mom".....
