 I picked him up on Friday!
Hi everyone-
I was lucky enough to see this ad as soon as it was placed and responded. In all fairness to this woman, she had only had him 3 months, and really didn't know what she was getting herself into with a yorkie. He's had at least 4 owners. Turns out, after weeding through all the paperwork, he is actually 12 years old. I had him completely vetted yesterday, with no major problems other than nasty teeth. The vet recommended we wait 3-6 months before doing a dental, as there are no infections...just some nasty SWAMPMOUTH! Ugh! The doc feels he's been through enough the last several months.
He is acclimating fairly well to his 3 sisters, and I have to give my husband credit for hardly blinking when I walked in the door with "look what I found". Ideally, I believe he is best suited as an "only child". He really seems quite content and relaxed when he doesn't have to deal with the other dogs in the house. (Our oldest is 15 and has a brain tumor...) I will be taking good care of him, and if I can't find a suitable home for him, then so be it. I knew the YT community would be the best resource to place him in the right home- so if anyone is interested in this 12 yo, please PM me. |
