Good Morning everyone,
My name is Jack and I live in Virginia. Back in April we had to put down our dear Sadie girl. She was a 110 lb Yellow Lab. That day broke my heart. She was 16 and her body was just giving out. My wife and I were devastated. 9 months later still mourning we stopped by a local dog shelter, and found a sad old boy that looked like we did, heart broken. He was the oldest dog in the shelter, under weight, scruffy, and sad. We took one look at him and said we want him. I know that he is old, but he needs love, and what ever time he has, it will be nothing but quality, and top shelf.
His name is Harley. He is 12 years old, missing some teeth, scruffy, and little did he know he was about to embark on the trip of his life. I asked the attentent why was he here? and they told us that his owner gave him up. He couldn't keep him anymore.
How does this happen? are you kidding me.... Well we want him, and he is coming home with us. We have had him a week now. he is everything you could ask for in a dog. He sleeps in our bed, goes for plenty of walks each day, and gets brushed everyday. Today he is off to the groomer. I don't know how that is going to go, but knowing Harley the way he is it will be just fine.
What a wonderful breed of dog the Yorkie is. He is so clever, fast learner, and makes us laugh all the time.
This is the first time we purchased a dog that came with his own AARP card.
We love him and couldn't be happier. Instead of us rescuing him I believe he rescued us. Thanks all for listening and hope to chat with you in the future. I will post picture of this little guy when he comes back from the groomer.
Have a blessed day
Jack
