 From West Central Mississippi
Vicksburg to be exact! I am a proud mom to Gabby who's 8 1/2 years old and I nicknamed her "Miss Piggy"...lol...she weighs in at 11 pounds!! I am also mom to Gage, a rescue yorkie that a distant friend gave to me because he just didn't have time to fool with him. Although I love Gabby very much, my heart is really going out to Gage. He's 11 months old and weighs no more than 3 1/2 pounds. It was very obvious to me when I got him that he had been abused, both physically and emotionally. I've had him for 4 months and he is just now starting to come to me when I call and not back away from me when I put my hands out to him. It broke my heart when I first got him...he shook almost all the time and would rather run and hide than come to you. Vet says he's healthy but it will just take lots of love and time for him to realize we aren't the "bad guys" in his life. Patience has been our house-guest since Gage joined and we are starting to be rewarded!! He has even started giving us "kisses" in the past couple weeks!! At first, my husband didn't want to have another inside dog but he didn't stop me. Now he admits we did the right thing getting Gage out of the house he had been in! Why people want to own dogs that they don't have time, or patience, to deal with, I'll never understand. I'm just so happy to have Gage in our house. He and Gabby get along so well with their human brothers who are 15 and 12. I used to dream of the day I could have a house full of yorkies. For now, I've very content with Gabby and Gage. Looking forward to meeting everyone! |
