Second Chances. My Gracie Poo was a first a puppy mill puppy , then pet store puppy, sold almost like a $2400 dollar fashion accessory that barked, pooped and had needs, that didn't work, so another home, then to me. Shaved, skinny, with a mouth full of retained baby teeth, worms, fleas and long toe nails. She not potty trained and wow could she bark, growl, bite and draw blood. No training at all.
If you are a regular on Yorkie Talk, you have read many stories about my Gracie. True she has had some health problems, but she is so cherished and loved, I never regret adopting her.
Gracie is spoiled, and a very different little diva now. I knew she had the potential to be a wonderful family member. She had a hidden sweetness, like a bad child she just wanted to be loved. She took to training like a treat junky.
Gracie makes home visits to senior shut ins and Alzheimer's patients. She is one of their favorites because she has a happy attitude, spunk, a swingy butt walk, wears prissy bows and dresses. She loves doing her little routine of tricks and then being held and petted. Gracie loves being the center of attention. And our oldsters love her. So Gracie is a Rescue Success Story.
