This OP was a guy and I think he probably felt cornered with all of us women reacting the way we did (for good reason). Now that we have caused him to break contact we have no way of knowing if this baby is okay or not. I love my precious Toby more than anything, but alot of people find themselves thrown into owning one, that is overwhlemed and may say things we do not like, but if we keep working with them then maybe we can change their attitude and it will be a win win all the way around. I am just as passionate about it as all of you, but we have to remember we are trying to also save a little one. I am not trying to get on to anybody this was just heavy on my mind. I have been so worried about this little baby ever since reading the OP's first post. |
Well stated, Prince Toby; I couldn't agree more. Imho, everyone would do well to think about what they are trying to accomplish before responding to a post like this. I believe that the OP was sincere in his cry for help with this little one that has fallen into his care and the reactions of many on this thread scared him off -- a missed opportunity to educate a yorkie caretaker and perhaps save a dog. Very sad.
