 New to the forum: Kelly
Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Kelly from Chattanooga, TN. I'm the proud mom of two 13 yr old Yorkies and one 6(ish) year old yellow Lab.
Lexi was my first Yorkie. She turned 13 on July 2, 2017. I purchased her from a reputable breeder in Athens, Ga. She is 4 lbs and was recently diagnosed with kidney failure. She was the 1st love of my life.
Dexter was my second. I adopted him from a woman going through a divorce and could no longer give him the attention he deserved. Although she promised me his papers, I never received them. It didn't really matter because I never intended to breed him or Lexi. I just wanted them to have a companion in each other. Although his birthdate is unknown, I do know he was born in October of 2004. He is now 13 years old. Last week, had a bad episode of AHDS, previously known as HGE. He is still on the road to recovery.
Lolly was my full blown rescue and the 3rd love of my life. A beautiful 87 lb Lab. She was not quite a year old (according to the vet) when she was abandoned in my parents neighborhood. Covered in fleas, ticks, and God only knows what else, she was very malnourished and chose me to sweet talk into giving her a new home. I did, with no questions asked. Every dog deserves a place to call home. I believe Lolly is approximately 5-6 years old.
Thank you for having me. I look forward to sharing stories. |
