this evening Suzi and I went for a stroll around the neighborhood. Something we both enjoy.
I took her to a neighborhood apartment complex to walk her around the building.. Something we have done before many times. LAst time we did this a couple little girls infomed me that A family had A yorkie too. ANd showed me the apt. They were not there that time, so I thought coold anther neighborhood Yorkie!
this evening we came across the most pathetic little Yorkie boy ever. He could have been no more then 4-5 lbs. And his hair was all in his eyes and so scraggly, with his longer hair just a mess on his little body, My heart sank, and it got worse. This little one , whose name is Chico, meaning boy in spanish, had a heavy chained around his little collar:
it was one of those metal ones too, and the Yorkie had no room to go anywhere. The little guy had a small bark and could not even jump from the chain on him. The kids had him wrapped to the gaurd rails of their patio. Geez I could not believe my eyes.
I asked the girls if he goes in the house becuse I saw a dog bed out on the patio too. Poor little Yorkie looked horrendous. I asked then how old was Chico and one girl said 15, however i asked her again later , and she did not really know.
Any type of animal cruelty is unthinkable, and when it is tiny yorkie it makes it horriblely sickening. Why haave a beautiful dog and treat it so poorly.
I asked the girls if Chico gets groomed/A haircut she said yes , at petsmart. Hummm I knew This baby had NOt been groomed in several months if at any time. The poor little baby couold not even see with all his hair in his eyes.
This is something that will stay with me for a long time. I could feel that the girls did not think much of Chico , and Chico was not A well socialized dog either.
i just had to get out of there, and turned and walked away. Thinking about the sad little boy I just saw broke my heart into pieces.
