Your post make me smile. I have two yorkies that are the most precious babies in the world - Lola and Harley. I have fostered in the past and was asked recently to "transport" a little one from "animal control" of some sort to a vet where a rescue would pick him up. His front leg was mangled and he was filthy dirty...his eyes were so dirty that they were almost stuck together. Anyway, I dropped him at the vet with tears in my eyes - I hated the way he looked at me the whole drive there! For two days this baby haunted me...I finally called the rescue and told them I would take the dog and pay for all of his medcal care, etc. His leg could not be saved after seeing several different vets, and he had to have some teeth removed and bathed several times before I could even see his skin through all of the dirt and mats. He is now safe...he will never be on the streets again. He will always have a warm bed to sleep in, clean water to drink and plenty of food to eat. He will never be abused or alone again. I needed a third pup like I needed a hole in the head, but he needed me. The funny thing is, now, I can't imagine my house without him. He is so happy - happy to be safe, happy to be alive! He is precious and loves his "brother and sister". I can honestly tell you I have never regretted making the decision to go back and get him. Good luck and bless you and your husband for sharing your home with this precious little girl! |
