Vicki,
I absolutely loved your story. Your avater is so cute of the smiling Yorkie
i'd like to comment on small children and small animals. Children can be taught at a early age to handle little animials the right way. However, a child who is left unsupervised with a small animal/is never ok. Children are impulsive and will act without thinking. They do not consider their behavior to the consquences . Children do not act the same when they are not supervised . AS soon as they are left alone , they are "going to behave a lot differently"
Of course ever parent will say "my child " knows how to behave . Or has been taught. The parent would be surprised to find out just how their kid really acts when the parent is not around .
SUPERVISION. Never leave a little dog alone with a small child. Some parents are not fully commited in doing so. It is too easy for accidents to occur . Small animals are the ones that are always going to be hurt. And it happens quickly.
Vicky, I am so glad you were able to take in this precious yorkie. I am glad he does not mind three legs.
Thank you for posting this. IMO, it was not offensive at all. Actually , in all the Yorkie books I've read it is reccomended that yorkies should not go to homes that have very young children in them.
