I never got very active on this board after joining. It was too painful for me. We got our first yorkie, Cruiser, last June. In August he was diagnosed with a liver shunt and we gave him back to our breeder. She gave us another yorkie, Chewie, and nursed Cruiser back to pretty good health with a special diet and medication. In October 2008 we took Cruiser back so we then had our two little yorkies. They had so much fun playing with each other. We knew Cruiser would never be a healthy dog but we wanted to keep him happy and give him a good life for as long as we could. In October of this year, he really went down hill and after several vet visits, just when we thought we had a plan, he started having seizures. We rushed him to the emergency vet and they really couldn't get the seizures stopped and told us they didn't think he could be medically managed any longer so we made the heart-breaking decision to put him to sleep. I loved my little wuffie so much. I miss him everyday.

We have since gotten a new biewer puppy, Colby. Colby is a fiesty little one. He's got so much energy! And he's adorable. Chewie wasn't too sure about him at first, but they are good friends now.

Anyway, now that I have two healthy and happy puppies and feel better about coming on here and getting involved. I know people were trying to be helpful when I did post about Cruiser's condition but it would only upset me. We did the best we could for him and I am content in knowing that. I sincerely hope I can join this board without any criticism for the way we handled the cards we were dealt. I just want to have a place to come share pictures and stories about my two little dudes. They make me so happy and I know all of your doggies make you happy as well.
