[Rescuemomma]

Moving this from my memorial thread on Benji

Today I'm going to honor my littlest in the only way I see fitting. I've agreed to help another rescuer out with getting another Yorkie out of the shelter that's in horrible shape. I just pray we're not to late to save this little angel. It's clear from her picture she'll need to loose an eye, and I'm sure that's only the tip of the iceburg, poor little doll has clearly been through alot. I don't think I'll keep her, my heart is just to broken right now to let another in forever, but I've named her Lilli, and will do what I can to help others network her, and make sure whatever help she needs she'll get. My own hands are tied, I can't put her under my own rescue (I'm strictly a Sighthound rescue), and my personal finances are tied up with my other dogs and Benji's final expenses since I went over the top getting a nice urn and a special necklace made so a part of him will forever hang by my heart, but I'm sure with the help of other rescuers we'll figure out how to get anything she needs done. Just pray for little Lilli today, as I go to pick her up and get her taken straight to the vet, that we're not to late to save this little girl's life. The shelter reports she won't eat, and she's nippy - Well gosh, look at her, who can blame her?

Saving Lilli will make up for loosing Benji so suddenly - But I think in many ways it'll help me overcome my pain, and I must admit even if I place her in a new forever home where she will be loved and charished, the presence of a Yorkie in my home will be comforting. My home feels so sad and empty without Benji! I'll foster her for however long it takes to get her healthy and strong, and find the perfect forever home for her.
