| An Update from the Rescue... Good Morning, Friends! I wanted to let you all read what Miss Kit from the Florida Yorkie Rescue sent me yesterday... My tears started flowing, bittersweet ones because I am so happy, but sad that I couldn't have done for Chewie what Miss Kit is doing for him. I hope the pictures upload okay. I miss him so much. Dear Lisette, Here are pictures of the boy whose life you saved. We are just so in love with this little guy. We went through names and named him Quinn because it means old wise one and we think it suits him just perfectly. I attached a couple of pictures taken when he first arrived and then again after his mattes and hair were clipped and he was bathed. I am sure he feels so much better now.I took him to the Vet yesterday. He is in remarkably good health, no heart murmurs which these old boy usually have. No heartworm, no fecal worms, nothing contagious whatsoever. He teeth are all rotten and infected. He is now on antibiotics but because he has a strong heart, he will go back on Tuesday to hve a dental cleaning and the Vet will remove the teeth that cannot be salvaged. He cannot live with the rotten teeth. For his health this needs to be done.Then I will take him to the eye specialist to see about the cataracts. I believe they are too severe to do anything with, but if we could just restore sight to one eye, I believe it would return some vitality back into this old boy's life. We will see how that goes. Need to get through the dental first.Thought you would enjoy hearing how he is doing. He slept near my bed last night and only cired out once. I put him in my arms and off to dreamland he returned. I am not sure how many more years this poor boy has, but while he is here, he will always have a warm meal, a warm bed and a belly rub whenever he wants one. He continues to do very well. He is in his little bed by my feet at the computer which is where I work all day. He sleeps soundly... then we go outside for a pee and back inside we come. I wake him up to eat and he has a good appetite. So he eats 2 to 3 times a day and loves to pee in the grass, which beats peeing on the kitchen floor any day. He makes me so proud. Considering how old he is, the fact that he had yet to have an accident speaks volumes for him. I wish the younger dogs in the house would follow suit. Thanks for calling me. I love him! So there we have it. Again, Thank you Everyone! |
