I didn't expect it to hurt this much. 
Even though he was with us for only a few short days, he was the puppy that my daughter had always wanted. We both knew that he was a rescue puppy and that he was not going to stay with up forever but I overheard her telling her best friend that he was the puppy that she always wanted. It was my daughter who originally talked me into a Yorkie to begin with and that is how I stumbled upon this wonderful place, researching and studying about the breed. I was a member here for a long time before I started posting and believe me I investigated a lot of different breeders in the year that we were looking for a new puppy. I didn't have a Yorkie when I first joined so I used my daughters and that is were my user name Megansmomma comes from.
The irony in this entire story is the breeder that Teagan came from I had even talked to about her breeding program. Her little puppies really caught mine and my daughters eye when we were looking several years ago. They were exactly what she had always talked about. But when I called and spoke to Marie several years ago she did not have a litter available. In the mean time as I was looking for another "reputable breeder"  we were asked if we would like to take Pebbles from a friend who was rehoming her. Of course Pebble was still a puppy but she was nothing like Megan and I were looking for in a new puppy. But she is 11 lbs of Yorkie love  Then we added Doodlebug and Bogey who are both Morkies from a mill and shelter, Megan still didn't have her standard size Yorkie who was about half the size of the 3 loves of our life. Please don't think of this as being selfish because our entire family love every one of our pups and our little foster guy Truman too. But Teagan was the puppy that she would look at on the street and point out that she would want one just like him or her. Does that make sense without sounding selfish. So when I first brought him home and she laid eyes on him I KNEW she was going to fall over~then I had to tell her that not only could he walk but there was a very bad accident that he was in and that he needed to go for surgery. She held him and loved him the entire time he was here. At first she was afraid she would hurt him but she is very gentle and loving. She would hold him on her lap and move his legs and help to feed him. I haven't even told her what the vets have been saying and how he might not be able to walk ever again or even the possibility of PTS. The morning that I was leaving for Indy she gave him so many kisses and so much love. In the few days he was here I know that my entire family showed him enough love to make up for what he missed in the short life he had before and so much more.
Once again I am rambling but it is one thing when your own heart aches but when you see the heartache of your children and it is over this tiny little bundle of love. |
Jodi,
I believe you were meant to get involved with Teagan. I am so glad that when I responded to Marie's ad on Hoobly that I told her I was a member of YT.
You've raised Megan the way I have raised my son. Imagine an Executive at BCBS Insurance with a tiny baby bird in his office, that he is feeding.
We are all just going to pray for Teagan to recover.
If he turns out to be a candidate for surgery, and I am allowed to foster him, I will not apply to adopt him, I will step aside and he will be Megan's baby boy.
I don't want her hurt any further.
Hugs,
Sheila
