As I said, we are too quiet. However, I have not posted for quite a while, so I am hoist on my own petard!
Thank you for giving me the opthamologists' contacts-I had Kia into Ottawa last week, and David Tinsley, DVM, gave her a good check-up. The result is that at this time, Kia's eye is fine to be left in. Her eyelid is still stitched, but as the eye is still healing, it is best to keep it so. She has lost the sight in her left eye-the retina is detached-but the eye itself is healthy, and if all goes well, will not have to be removed!

Now, I need more help. I am trying to find a companion for Kia; I would prefer a Yorkie, of course, but am on a limited income, and cannot afford over a thousand dollars-or more! I do have a chance for a four year old bitch, after she weans her next litter, but that will be six months or more from now. Also, I am not sure if another Kia would be happy with another female her age. I would hate to wait for six months, then find out that the two will not get along. Does anyone know of a Yorkie looking for a good home? I am fully prepared to pay for one, hopefully an amount I can raise, and will definitely neuter/spay what I get. I am home most of the time, as I am on a disability and do not work, have excellent veterinarians, etc, and will supply references, of course. I live rurally, walk my dogs all over the countryside, am fanatical about feeds, care, training, etc, and hope to do some Obedience and Rally-O trials with my next Yorkie, as I do with Kia, when possible. My main criteria are; a) dog seven pounds or less-but not smaller than four, b) healthy, c) playful and d)acceptable to Kia. Kia is very playful, loves other dogs, cats, horses, children, and knows that she is the 'center of the universe'.
If anyone has any suggestions at all, I would appreciate hearing them. I have tried a Yorkie rescue, but have not had a reply from them. I have also contacted as many breeders as I could, as well as checking all various rescues, ads, posts, etc.

The photos show Kia, in her alternate job. Isn't she a lovely mother?
