[rescuemom2008]

Hi everyone
I am brand new to this group and so let me tell you a little about myself and my yorkie banjo.I am disabled and have not worked since 2000 when i had to go on oxygen.My dogs are my life and so is rescue .I have been active with rescue groups for the last 10 years .I fell in love with the yorkie breed when i met my bestfriends yorkie Her name was good golly miss molly and she would sing when you played that song.Last year i had a opportunity to rescue a little yorkie that was cryptorchid and could not be shown.After several attempts to get him to arkansas the snow let up and we drove to springfield to get him.Inoticed when i got him he was very skinny.It was not till 3 months later when he went in for routine teeth cleaning that he was diagnosed with pnuemonia.I noticed he coughed and sometimes threw up so i thought after feeding .I had him on 4 different antibiotics and the pnuemonia persisted .We finally did a barium swallow and he has megasophagus.It has now been 7 months since he was diagnosed and so far he is doing good .He sits in his bailey chair with his bib and eats his food with a spoon .He is such a little joy i would not trade my time with him for anything .His name is banjo and he has a papillion sister a papillion brother and a pomeranian brother all rescues
