Bo, born October 26th, 2003. He was the third pup of five born to Reggie. It was November 11th when the grandkids arrived early in the morning before school. The room was dark. As usual, Reggie ran to greet them. Not knowing exactly what happened, we believe that when Reggie went to greet them, Bo was sucking and fell out of the cage and met up with a heavy book bag. He immediately started screaming. As soon as the vet was in his office I took Bo to see him. Nothing seemed broken, he was too small to take xrays, too little for medication and the prospect of him surviving was slim. I took him home and pampered him, feed him, protected him. That evening I discovered that he had a severe head injury as one side of his head was swollen. It was more than a month later when my granddaughter asked yet again, is Bo going to make it? That was four years and two months ago. Bo was always a baby, he couldn't walk in a straight line. Instead, he would spin his way to you. Sometimes he would spin so fast that he would have seizures. He had been to the vet many times that first year for the seizures and not knowing if that one might be the last. He couldn't go up or down steps. I protected him as much as I could but finally when he was two years old, I realized I needed to cut the apron strings and let him be with the rest of the yorkies. He learned something new with each litter we had. In the last year he finally was able to walk across the floor in a fairly straight line without spinning. In March he had a stoke and was prepared to have him put to sleep then but when we got into see the vet the next day, he was doing much better so we brought him back home. He continued to improve until recently. Last night he suffered another stroke and lost all movement in his hind quarters. He was flinging his upper body all over the place and banging his head on the floor. I held him most of the evening and put him is a box with his pillow for overnight after giving him medication. This morning he was not improved at all and I knew it was best to let him go over Rainbow Bridge to be with his mama Reggie. I am very sad but also happy knowing he is in a better place.
