MINE TOO!! and i am the same way.. i dont leave Avery in the car..except if i have to stop and get gas or something(but the doors are locked and i am pumping the gas right outside!!-other than that..i dont!! and this is exactly what Amber was doing with Frankie.. except she ran to get her change after pumping her gas!!!! it was all of 2 minutes or so..
i agree.. some People definately SUCK! it makes me think twice though, for sure!!

Everyone just needs to be extra careful with their fur babies and try not to let them out of your site. It can happen in an instant. Poor Frankie I hope that he was microchipped and hopefully he'll be found and brought back to his family soon.

yeah i know.. thats what we said too!! flyers are put up.. some with STOLEN..so people would be more likely to think twice if they see the dog with someone else! Thanks so much for ur thoughts!! xo.

He told me the best so far is a tattoo. I will checking prices on that. But if a thief is determined they will find a way.

yeah that makes sense! And good to know about the tattooing..i never thought about them demagnetizing the chip!

As far as microchipping (and I know alot on here have their furbabies done), you would have to have someone that would bring the dog to a vet or shelter to have them scanned in order to find the owners (unless your vet does it automatically).
When I just had Sadie it was easy to bring her everywhere...I would just take her in with me but, now that I have Lillie too it makes it a little harder so.....if I don't have hubby with me to carry one of the girls they stay home...I hear to many horror stories of yorkies being stolen from cars.
I really do hope she finds her little man

yeah i know SO WOULD I!!! i really dont know what i would do.. i would be FREAKING out!! and trust me she is soooooooooooo devastated!! i feel HORRIBLE for her!!
Yeah i agree with you about having two.. its hard enough with just one!!-so thats good you do that! it is just sooo scary..and heartbreaking!! i dont understand how people do these things!!

Oh I hope they find baby Frankie my heart breaks when I see posts like this...it has to be so devastating to lose your baby like that.

I never leave Izzy in the car for any reason...for example yesterday while traveling out of state I had to stop and get gas....I had to go in and pay so Izzy went with me for those few seconds....I don't care what they say...I also keep one of her bags in the car just for those reasons where I can sneak her in for a few moments. But I know there are times when you say it won't hurt for a few moments to leave them in a car...but that's all it takes for someone to take them. Not worth the risk after reading this about poor Frankie.

Yeah i know i am interested in the tattooing also! and i completely agree with you.. i am the same way.. the only time i will leave Avery in the car is when i am pumping gas-and i am right outside the door..i just bring her inside with me, if i have to pay or somethin'. but like you said there are times when i have just ran in for the change, with her in the car.. doors locked of course-but thats just not enough!! -especially after this!!

Always locked, always in front of a window.
That's what I do--smuggle Milo in. I don't do it for any other reason-- but his safety.
Just last night we were traveling from NH Coast back to NY and my son wanted to see us (he's having a bit of trouble personally), so we stopped at his work to chat and give him hugs.
He works in a Shaws grocery store in CT. It was 6PM and there was no way we were going to leave Milo alone. We snuck him in in his bag. The only time he moved was when he heard my son's voice---my son, btw, was so happy to see his little fur brother and knowing he was brought in James Bond style made him smile.
I felt so naughty. I don't regret the smile on my skin son's face though.

yep im the same way..carrier is in the car-Just in case!! i do the same!! hehe. id rather be told to leave.. then have something like this happen!!!! glad ur son was happy to see you guys!

OK I know friends over there...I will call them and let them know to keep a look out!

[yorkiecrazy]

That's terrible!!! I really hope they can get him back.
I also keep a carrier in the car just in case. I would rather be told to leave then to have something like this happen!!!! I think I would just die if it did happen.

I see dogs tied outside while their owner gets a quick something. I always comment on how anyone can take their dog. Nowadays, I get nervous even leaving my dog at home after seeing the reports about burglars taking dogs breaking into a home. My friend has a lab (big dog mind you) who he locked in the car to do a quick errand. Someone broke in and took poor Murphy. The thief left a note saying that he wanted $1000 dollars or would chop Murphy up. Of course my friend was frantic and got the $1000 and luckily got Murphy back. He said that the Police were not much help seeing it was about a dog and he did not want to chance anything bad happending to Murphy so he paid the nasty little bastard.
Some people think that I am way over protective about my pup but I see people eyeing him when I am with him so no way would I ever leave him anywhere unattended. I would think especially with dogs so cute and little like Yorkies, it is that much more tempting and easier so we need to all beware.
I really hope Frankie is found. I can't imagine being in that position.

Chop him up I would have been soo scared! He's so lucky he got him back!
