A little about me ,,Levi and Laci..
 

Hello everyone. I am new to yorkie talk and new to yorkie ownership but not new to the breed. I own and operate a dog grooming bussiness in Alabama and have always adored yorkies till one day a lady brought in her little 4 yr old male and at that time I absolutely feel head over heals for the yorkie breed. i bought a male whose now 8 monthes old and his name is Levi, hes my heart, I also just two days ago decided when I saw in the paper a female older yorkie for sale after weeks of not being sold I decided to go look at her, like I needed another one right,,,, any how I say i rescued her but I actually bought her, it was truely a rescue though. When she came to me 4 hours from my home in the condition she was in I knew she was not going back to where she came from. I was told by the man that he runs a USDA kennel and that all his dogs had to be shaved ,well she was,,,,, and not only was she shaved she was starving shaking and sad, I held her little two year old body in my hands and felt every rib and bone she had inside of her, well that did it she was now mine, when I arrived home I weighed her and she was only 2 .12 pounds. She slept alot and was very frightened when we drove home. Her eye was matted all up and I stopped and bought her some food she wolfed it down, she slept that night calmly in my arms as levi watched silently like he knew her history,,, well shes gained 4 ounces since I got her home shes no longer hanging her head down and she once had no name just what ever they called her even though she had a registared name she did not know it, now shes my little Laci. And she knowes shes found a home, no more cages and no more fighting for food or attention. levi even shows her around and I am sure he told her how wonderful it was here with me because she seems to be opening up very fast. As for Levi hes been here as long as he can remember good food and lots of love all 2.13 pounds of him.. Well I just wanted to share with you the story of my Laci and how she came to be with me and Levi. We have an appointment at the vet tommorow to get her checked out and her eye looked at even though the vet doesnt know it yet we will have an appointment...Thanks for listening..

Welcome to YT. Rescues can be the sweetest dogs. It's like they never forget the past and always show how much they appreciate the good life they have now. Laci is lucky you found her although I'm sure you feel it's the other way around. :)

Welcome to YT! I'm sure Laci is going to be so happy in her new home.

I have a yorkie named Lacy too (but with a Y) :)

Welcome to YT. I ave some small yorkies also love them . bobo is 3 lbs (wet)lol and harley is 2.5 lbs.We got a couple new ones Killer hes 5 months and 1.5 ozs looks like a low rider. The grass rubbs his belly when he's outside. and Mercedes she is his sister and aboput 2.5 lbs. She will be one of my breeders .Then another of my kids Megan weighs 2.5 lbs and 2 yrs old. shes a dollbaby.:) I don't know what i'd do without my dogs.

welcome to YT! I live in Alabama too....that is so great you rescued Laci, you are a wonderful person for that....she probably thinks she is in heaven now :)

Welcome to YT! I live in Alabama, also. Where abouts are you located?

I am located north of mobile by an hour in a town called grove hill. A spot in the road. The vet is closed today here so it will be tommorow before we can see him but shes doing great today,,so umble...Levi is a great little man also..Thanks for the prayers for Laci..I will load pictures when I find out how to on this site...

Welcome to YT, sounds like you have a great little family going. Share pictures if you can :)

Oh, that made me cry:cry: I am SO glad that Laci is with you now:love: I just don't understand how anyone could treat a living breathing creature so horribly. I hope there is a special place in H*ll for those folks!

Thank you for saving her!

You're an angel:) I don't see how anyone can treat an animal the way your little Laci was treated.

There's a special place in heaven for people like you:)

Update on Laci
 

Well we went to the vet today. he said Laci is definately underweight shes not eating well, has an ear infection along with eye infection and not properly vacinated nor wormed probally, and she has lots of infection in her mouth, maybe some lose teeth he just couldnt be for sure, she was put on antibiotics, ear drops, eye drops, and a appetite stimulant, has an appointment in two weeks for a checkup on those things again along with vacinations and soon rabies vac. After shes better he says we will be cleaning her teeth and checking to see if she has any loose ones or any that need pulling. After her trip to the vet today i had some bussiness to go take care of and when I got home a few hours later shes like a new puppy she feels better already and is running Levi like crazy, along with smooching her new mom (ME) LOl... Any way soon after evrything else is up to par we will be discussing spay or not to spay..Right now we just want her to feel better, she had a low grade fever today but vet says he has great hope for her now that shes with me,,,,Well i better go I have some babies that need my undivided attention, I just wanted to let everyone know how she was doing and we are still working on those pics for you all...Cindy, Levi, Laci

Wow, so glad the visit to the vet was so productive. I'm sorry she has so many issues, but it sounds like the vet is on top of it and has a game plan. So good to hear that she is already responding to the medication and feeling better. She will have such a sweet life with you. :)

I have put pic of Laci and Levi on my profile in case anyone wants to see them...

Awww Im so glad she has a new home with you and Levi.
