 Hello everyone
Hello everyone, I am new here and would like to introduce myself. I am Murnah (which is the first 3 letters of Murphy and the last three letters of Hannah. They were my previous fur babies. My pom murphy passed in 2019 and hannah my chow chow passed in 2023). I am in my 60's and have always had dogs in my life. The last nearly 2 yrs since Hannah passed is the longest I have gone without a dog.
Last summer I decided it was time to start looking for a new fur baby. Though I wasn't sold on any one breed nor was I in a hurry I was kinda leaning toward either a frenchie, another pom or a yorkie. I was searching craigs list a few times a week and even replied to a few ads. Then one day last October I went on Craigs list and the top ad was for an 8wk old pure bred Yorkie puppy free to a good home. They wanted her to go to a home without young kids or other dogs and were giving her away for free because she has a bum back leg that may require surgery. They told me they normally sell their puppies for $3500.00 because of their European bloodline. Of couse I didn't care about any of that, I just want a baby to love and she is just as perfect even with her limp.
I have since had x-rays done on her leg. The vet said it looks like it was twisted at the knee when she was born. After consuting with another vet and a surgeon they all said their is no surgery that will fix it. They are going to leave it be for now but if it poses a
problem in her adult years they my amputate.
She is now 6months old and her name is Phoebe. Thank you all, I am looking foward to getting to know you all. |
