I never thought that I would buy from a pet store because of the horror stories that I had heard, but this past October the pet store in our local mall had two yorkies. My son always wanted to go inside to see them. The boy was larger than the girl, but she was more active. After a short time the boy sold, but the little girl was still there. Time passed and she was still there, and so little. It was like no one wanted her and she was living her life in that little wire cage. I would talk to the cashiers when we made our weekly trip to the pet store. Each one told me that she was healthy, but becasue her hair was kinda thin on top everyone had passed her up even though she was only 1lb,3 oz and by this time 4 months old. One day we were in there, she was looking through the glass right at me. It was as if she was speaking to my heart. After that I couldnt stop thinking about this little girl, so the next week we went back and I bought her. She is the most active, hyper, sweet, loving (when she wants to be) little girl I have ever seen. We named her Tenci, and she is up to 3lbs 1 oz now. I think she is beautiful, and I'm glad all those people passed her up becasue now she is here with us. It was almost like she was sent to be with us because my Gizmo who was three died this past February. She helped ease the pain with a little happiness. I guess what I am trying to say is in my opinion even if they come from a pet store they still have little hearts and souls and need someone too. I understand completly how you feel about this little guy. |
