My husband had been talking about getting a puppy for 2 months and decided to move to make it happen. He works long hours and I'm home a lot by myself so a little companion seemed like the perfect solution. I also didn't know about the risk of pet shop puppies and all the horrible puppy mills out there when I got my Lexie. We had to make an emergency vet visit on Christmas because she had 3 different types of parasites! I had taken her to the vet where I live just the day before and he said she was totally healthy! GRRR! Well the emergency vet was awesome and even let us see her parasites under a microscope on this little tv. He really knew his stuff! He gave her three shots and she was better within an hour or two. If I'd known I would have never contributed to puppy mills but I know my life would not be right without Lexie. I would have paid anything on Christmas to keep her alive and make her feel better.
Now I know that however much I love Lexie is how much I have to tell everyone out there not to pay these horrible people for their cruelty to animals! Oh and I want to thank YT for being such a great home for so many yorkie owners. I've learned so much from this site. It really is priceless. |
