The sun is coming up here at 5:30 in the morning. We have been awoken numerous times by our brand new yorkie, Molly ( who needs rest anyway?? lol). I am not new to dogs, I've had them my entire childhood. Currently we have two rescued senior male dogs both are 10 years old. One 5 lbs. yorkshire and a 20 lbs dachshund. My first yorkshire had bladder stones so I'm familiar with health issues and it was a crazy beginning I had with him. but I never gave up and now he's my most precious thing. We thought it would be fun to add to our doggy family by having a younger yorkshire since we love the breed so much.

Yesterday, we found Molly who was selling for $400. Her old owner told us that she's already had two litters of puppies within the year. She's so thin, you can feel each and every bone on her. She's 1 year and 9 months old. She's got tummy problems so she's constatly pooping and it's borderline diarrhea. She's had gone to the bathroom the whole night. She's constantly hungry and thirsty. The seller said that by the end of the month her puppies will be eight weeks. Her breasts are very warm today and traces of milk are coming out. Her demeanor is so sweet. She just attaches herself to you.
I'm going to the vet today asap. I couldn't leave her, although in the back of mind I'm thinking this is going to be an expensive vet bill. She has matted fur and just looks really pathetic. I've heard of puppy mills but what do they do with the mamma's of them?? I wasn't invited in the home. Shouldn't she be with her puppies still?? how much weight does the mother lose when they give birth?? Is she overbreed when she's less then two years old???? She just seems so mistreated.
