I'm so glad Kissy is doing better. And so sorry you lost Secret. Reading this post was so sad; I'm glad things are going well. I dread anything happening to my Charlie. There really is something about Yorkies. I NEVER thought I'd be so attached.

We lost our Cinni very suddenly last year. She was 7. I'm still convinced she picked up something at the pound. She had gotten out of the house unseen (which was not like her.) Usually when we let her out to pee, one of us was right with her. But during the times we weren't, she would just do her business and come back and sit on the step.

This time, though, the kids were arguing and I was unloading groceries and she got out. Since no one knew she was out, I figure she had come back to the step and waited and got bored. A neighbor from down the street, who didn't know we even had a dog, called the pound. In the meantime, I realize she's gone and we go on a search for her. The worry was beyond belief. She was a little tiny 4 pound teacup poodle. I called the police and the pound. No one answered at the pound and I left a message. I called a bunch more times and left more messages.

The next morning I called again, and I got a live person. She told me they did have Cinni but I could only pick her up between 4 and 5. I had a wedding that day and went but left early, picked up my son and off we went to get her. I was never so glad to see anything or anyone in my life.

The pound was disgusting, though. I brought her in for a grooming and she was fine. The next day in the early afternoon I think she had a stroke. She suddenly couldn't walk right and then was paralyzed from the waist down.

She wasn't in any pain it seemed, and I knew the vet couldn't do anything at that point. I just held her and talked to her until she died at 9 o'clock. I couldn't even leave her to go to the bathroom. I informed the pound and they were nice but said it wasn't anything she got there. I still don't believe it.

I'm glad your vet is so knowledgeable. I got taken for a huge ride the first time Cinni got sick. How do you know what sounds right and reasonable? At least kids can verbalize.

I'm so sorry your dog was so sick and hope that things continue to go well. It sounds like Kissy is in good hands!
