My aunt (who is as Greyhound/Doberman crazy as we are Yorkie crazy) saw a story on CNN, MSNBC, some news station about a lady who had a dog and either a 'ferret' or a 'parrot' that she had to leave behind when she evacuated for Katrina. (Not that I would evacuate without my pets, but they thought they were only going to be gone for the night....) They got to go back weeeeeks later to their house. The parrot/ferret did not survive, but from another room, her dog came running in...and it was a Yorkie!!! Weeks in a house by itself and it survived! Can you believe that? They took it to the vet who rehydrated it and said that other than losing some weight, he had a clean bill of health. No you tell me our little guys aren't tough! |
