[Tiger's Mom]

Oh no. . . . there seems to be a lot of sick yorkies being posted lately. It is so depressing! Parvo is really bad from what I have heard and read so I hope Gracie will pull through.

As much as I know the dangers of Parvo, I cannot not have my Tiger have a life that restricts him from being held and be playful to others, not have him socialize with other dogs, to enjoy a stroll down Petsmart's isle (this he really loves) or perhaps take him to the park (haven't done it yet but maybe when it is warmer) to run wild (on a leash of course! ). I have read that I can be a carrier and bring Parvo home to him if I happen to step on feces/urine of a dog that has the disease . . . so whether his exposure to the world is limited or otherwise, there is no guarantee our babies from getting sick. So I continue to be cautious so I can have him for as long as his life permits it, but I also want him to have a wonderful and full life . . . . Life is just too short and I will not deprive him of that while he is alive. He brings me so much joy and therefore I want to make sure I do the same for him!
