Some of you may remember the story about Daisy, a cute little Yorkie girl who was in need of a new home. Here's a link to that thread:

Well I am happy to report that Daisy is now safely with her new mommy, Nicole!! But this poor baby has some serious issues!!
Daisy is terrified of the broom (she probably got hit with it
) and she cowers when you raise your hands to pet her -- she must have been hit. She is also scared to death of any dark or confined spaces -- but I found out from Nicole that Linda use to lock her in the closet or bathroom in the DARK when she did something bad ... what a bit*h!!!
So that explains why Daisy is afraid of corners and crates. The poor little girl is so fearful ... Nicole said she's afraid of loud noises and sometimes, when Nicole comes over to pet her, she will pee on herself from fear.
So what Nicole has been doing is crawling on the floor over to her so that her height doesn't scare her and it seems to be helping the situation.
She also has food aggression and she does not know how to walk on a leash -- I bet she was never walked outside in her life!!
Well Nicole has already fixed that -- she has been bringing her to the park almost every day after work!! She said it's amazing to see Daisy walk on grass ... she looks at it like it's an alien -- she doesn't even know what it is!! And she doesn't know HOW to play with toys!! It's like she never had any and now that she does, she doesn't know what to do with them!!
On the health side, she has very bad teeth. She had a blood panel and everything came back ok (for now). Nicole is going to wait a bit longer for this baby to get settled in her home and then she is going to have her spayed and have a lot of her teeth removed -- poor baby.
I will continue to keep you guys updated on this little angel -- please keep her in your prayers. She's so timid and fearful. I can't imagine what she went endured so far in her short life.
