The Day Georgie Was Nearly Killed

Well the year is drawing to a close and I thank all of my customers who made December a record month. I am so glad that you are keeping your doggies warm. I often see wee little toy breeds outside in our cold weather and feel so sad that they could be warmer. My two little girls just shake with the cold even with all their layers and now we have several inches of freezing water on every sidewalk and they are hating it!
My two little girls were born in Thailand. I accepted a teaching position over there in 2003 and I took Georgie (my oldest Yorkie), Kai and Bijou (my cats) with me.
Three months after we arrived Georgie got viciously attacked by two big street dogs. One grabbed his throat the other grabbed his hindquarters and they pulled. He lost a kidney and his spleen had to be removed. The doctors said he wouldn't make it. I thought my heart had broken.....
They stitched him up from one side to the other. I promised him if he lived I would buy him a little female Yorkie.
It took me 6 months to find Sapphie, Ironically enough I think that she was brought in from Vancouver. One week after I bought her, I was in a Thai "Ikea" carrying Georgie when a Thai shop girl came up to me and said in broken English, "You want to buy a Yorkie puppy?" And that is how Emily joined our family.
Georgie was like the bionic dog. Almost six years later he is thriving and has more energy than the rest of us put together!!
I think of this miracle at this time of year and am glad I could share it with you.
