She told me 100% it was a tiny yorkie, she ran to get it but it kept running, it went behind the store into some bushes .She said she would NOT have called me but she read my story in the newspaper article and said she knew how much he meant to me. So she rushed home to get the newspaper and my phone number was there. Its only like a 3 min drive there. I looked like a crazy woman!! I was in PJ's with the headphones and listening device calling out Cookie's name and my husband on the other side doing the same.We walked and walked all the parking lot for over an hr. I hope someone in the parking lot saw this dog and took him until the morning. I told her that I have had 3 calls from people finding a small dog but they drive off and called me. The dog will NOT be sitting there waiting for me when I get there.
Today I had to follow through a very tough decision. My husband and I talked for a long time this weekend and Jasper had to be taken to the Foster house. They are trying to get him a family with no pets and kids are a plus. He loves kids,playing all day but he is very controlling when it comes to getting anyone's attention. He was double and triple the size of some of the dogs here and he would run them over if he knew they were coming to me. I heard what I thought was a squeek toy and it was Monica being squished by Jasper.This was my plan from the beginning and I knew what was right. I just did not want him in a pound. I tried talking to the yorkie rescue here and his size is a real issue so she was honest and told me the chances of him getting adopted were slim but if he was in a foster home with bigger dogs, his chances were way better. This place needs a lot of help. They are accepting donations to be able to build a big facility at that location to be able to have 40 dogs roaming free. They dont have them in crates there. There were sections ,small gated yards with smaller dogs, puppies. I know this place needs help and I'm going to bring some help for the holidays.
They need toys, towels, detergents like bleach, bowls, and lots of towels!
They are nonprofit so all this is run on donations.
This entire ordeal has taken me through so many experiences. Today I also got a call from someone that has my flyer and is a groomer. She has a client that needs to get her yorkie a forever home because of husband's job change. I didnt even want to go see this little guy because I just fall in love and feel sorry for them. Well I told her I would go and take pictures and try to find him a home. I get home and the phone rings. A rescue calling me to tell me that a family with a 30 yr old daughter just diagnosed with MS is looking for a small yorkie for her. I 3way called the groomer who is taking care of the yorkie and they set up to get this little guy. The man thanked me so much for doing this.
The yorkie is 6 months old and VERY tiny. He fit in the palm of my hand! He must weight at least 1- 1.5 lbs . ADORABLE, Icarried him and he stretched and fell asleep on my neck. youI'm glad that this ng woman will be getting the surprise of her life when she sees this little guy.

I have been wondering what purpose GOD had for you and your family to go through this ordeal, I guess he is showing us now. Just think of the happiness you have a part in making for this young lady. I know it is hard on you but in a world of so much hurt anger and hate, If I could make someone happy for just one day I would feel I had been blessed. You my dear are blessed everyday because I can feel the love you have for people and the furbabies that are lucky enough to cross your path. Yours and Cookies work might not be done yet, but I feel Gods hand is upon Cookie where ever he is, even if it is at his side, God has used him to make you the person you are and for you to do some of his work here on earth for him. God will give you the strength, courage and means to continue on. You are a awsome person. Sharon, Joey,Cabella and the six puppies.
