i am sooooo glad you found and rescued ian! it was meant to be! after losing our little nika we also felt very strong about ONLY adopting from a shelter or rescue organization. i knew in my heart it was the right thing to do. i looked on petfinder for a couple weeks until i found my new little furry bundle of love and i knew she was the right one, even the lady in charge of heart humane said she was completely meant to be our baby. we traveled 6 hours away from home to get her! i was so surprised to find so many yorkies in need of homes. it broke my heart and i wanted to adopt them all! but of course i know that is not possible. i'm sure nika and prince are very proud that we were able to get these little ones and give them love and care they need. pixie was taken away from a missouri puppy mill with her furmomma and brother when she was only 2 weeks old. we got home with her at midnight and took her to the doc first thing the next morning. she had tapeworm, fleas, coccidia, and kennel cough. i'm sure the humane society was unaware of these problems as they had a full shelter of kitties and doggies. she also did not seem sick. we didn't mind nursing her back to health at all. she is completely healthy now! we just have to keep an eye on her baby teeth. i am truely happy she checked out healthy with our beloved dogtor of many years and very happy ian is a healthy boy too. i'm super excited for you and the family! hope you have a great christmas season with your new little one! congratulations again!
