When I was with one of the Yorkie Rescues, I flew Gabriel, along with 5 other Yorkies, from TX. to CA. as I had some wonderful families looking for a rescue Yorkie and at that time we had none in CA. Gabe however was a little surprise for me as he didn't have the Yorkie look, he was a senior with tons of medical problems and I didn't know if he was even going to live. The lady who adopted him ended up having brain surgery and gave him back to us. I had a volunteer take him in which I thought would take really good care of him. I did a house call on her and found Gabe tightly curled up laying in a corner of an empty bedroom on just a thin receiving blanket shivering. He was so sick he couldn't even hold his head up. I took him home with me, took him to my vet. carried him in a little sling up against my heart, sang to him, gave him tiny bits of baby food finger sticks, peanut butter, baby food meats and Kix cereal. It took a long time to get him back to health and was adopted by a wonderful lady in Newport Beach, CA. which I'm proud to say is my friend. She had a male Yorkie named Rudy who she thought needed a brother. She was the best mom to Gabe that I could have ever dreamed of finding. She had Gabe for two years before he passed away. He touched everyone who met him in a very heavenly way. I always said he was an angel sent her to touch a lot of souls, and he sure did. You would not have believed all the people who cried their hearts out when he passed away.
Meet Gabriel and Rudy.
