Patti's computer is actually not working and in repair right now. She may come online from her family's house later today... maybe.
I talk to her every day.. sometimes a couple times a day. So here is the update as people might be really worried about Patti and Dixie.
She went to the specialist.... and they said that Dixie has an advanced kidney failure after the test. They will figure out several medicine that Patti has to give her ongoing basis. A good thing is that Dixie doesn't seem to know that she is sick. So things might not be as bad. Patti also met a lady with a yorkie at specialist's office. Her yorkie also has an advanced kidney failure. But it has been 5 years since the diagnose. So the right treatment, yorkies with advance kidney failure can live for long time too. So Patti was cheered by that. So Patti is doing a lot better spiritually, and ready to give the best life that Dixie can get
I also want to make sure to mention. The breeder... that Patti got two yorkies from including Dixie, has been calling Patti ongoing basis last few days to check in with her. The breeder was very upset with the news and has been offering options that she can offer to Patti. Patti might not take the offer but she is also feeling better about the relationship with the breeder too. I am just so glad about that.
I feel that breeders cannot have all healthy dogs... some dogs can get sick. It seems like what happened to Dixie was something that she was born with it. There might not have been the way to prevent it as well. I am just glad that the breeder didn't ignore the fact, but faced with the situation and have been communicating with Patti.
I am sure Patti wished the healthy dog, and it is upsetting.. but as a friend, I know for sure that Patti can give a great life to Dixie. Dixie also has a gang of Cari, Pixie and Maya who are going to be there for her as well.
