Well, it has taken me awhile to be able to post. I am heartsick. We did not get the babies, and I am haunted with the memory of them now. There was something wrong with these two babies, and if we had no money worries, we would have gotten them anyway. They looked nothing like our Zeus and Perseus. The guy said he bred a Yorkie and Parti-Yorkie. We do not believe that to be the case. Their heads were round like an apple-head chihuahua. Their ears flopped and were very wide-set on their heads. They would not engage you at all, nor would they engage with Zeus and Perseus. We could tell immediately Perseus would not be happy -- he would not do anything but turn his head. That could have been due to the smell -- oh yee gods, the smell. I realize puppies are not going to smell great, but these babies were pitiful. They had green flies on their backs when they were handed to my husband. I looked in the man's car, and there were green flies in the car. One baby's tongue would not stay in his mouth -- it would stick out to the right side (all of his teeth were there). This one also had been "attacked" by another dog and was missing part of his nose. The other baby was missing all of the hair along the right side of his mouth, and the skin underneath looked strange. I can't say anymore as I'm currently tearing up at the thought of these precious babies. I worry about what kind of home and life they may have in their future. I'm so sad and can't get them out of my mind. |
