I will give her time thank you. I'm being patient and loving her every minute.
She comes to work with me (I have a crate and bed for her). She just threw up in her crate. First chunky and then watery. I think I'm going to have to stop giving her the wet food. That is the only change that has occurred with feeding. This still concerns me very much though.
I am so very concerned for this poor little thing.
Her story is as follows:
Bred from a Champion by a breeder in Washington. Purchased by another breeder in Washington and shown briefly. Bred once at age 2. Bred again and then her owner was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to go through some intense treatments. She asked her friend (another breeder) down here in Oregon if she would be willing to take her dogs while she goes through this time. Unfortunately she will be unable to reclaim the dogs it seems. So this breeder picked up the dogs and brought them down. Ivie (this Yorkie) had her pups 8 weeks ago but was incredibly attached to them. She was finally taken off her pups 6 days ago so that the puppies could go to their new homes. They do not want her to breed anymore - they just want her to have a loving, happy life.
I may be able to provide that if she comes around and shows us that she has the temperment and strength to be a therapy dog.
Have to admit I hope she does.
