| Kozanna doing well, but so sad Kozanna's first night at her new home went very well. She was 9 months old on Dec. 14. She slept all night without any problems. I set up an x-pen in the living room with a vinyl tablecloth on the floor and newspapers so she will have lots of room to move around, but is still confined when I can't watch her. I want her to see everyone and everything that goes on around here. She wanted to chase Lacy and Cosmo this morning and licked my fingers and let me pet her a little. She is afraid of being picked up, so I don't pick her up, just sit on the floor and let her come to me to be cuddled. I had never met a dog just out of a pupppymill before. Let me tell you, it is so very sad! Kozanna is just out of the puppymill 12 days today. This little girl just stands around, doesn't know what else to do. She obviously isn't used to having room to move around and doesn't know what toys are. She doesn't snuggle up to sleep, although she finally did sleep in a snuggle bed. She doesn't know not to potty where she sleeps and I think she had very little space at the puppymill. I think she needs to gain some weight and her muscle tone is not good and her legs aren't straight and firm. She's getting good food now and will get more exercise and I hope she will look and feel better. She got all of her shots yesterday and a worm pill this morning, so the last couple of days have been full of shocks for her. Things are pretty quiet around my house, so she will have all the time she needs to get used to being here and understand that she is loved and will have everything she needs. I just want to hold her and cry! She is very pretty and has such a sweet little face, with big, sad eyes and big Chihuahua ears and a tiny little nub of a tail. She shivers and I know it isn't cold in my house. She has a nice sweater that I will put on her when she goes out, but that won't be for a while. It's quiet and settle down time for sweet Kozanna. All she has to do is learn to be a well loved little girl. |

| Kozanna is doing well, but is still very afraid. I let her loose in the kitchen and sit in the floor with her. She seems surprised that she can run and will run back and forth and tries to play with toys. She picks them up, but doesn't seem to know what else to do. She licks my fingers and even kissed me on the nose, but trembles when picked up. She knows me and I can touch her without causing too much trauma. She is spending more time curled up in her cuddle bed sleeping instead of standing in one place. I am moving very slowly with her and letting her adjust at her own pace. She is very sweet and wants to be friends, but is so afraid. It breaks my heart to watch her when I would just love to hold her and cuddle her and comfort her. Maybe one day! |

Living My Yorkie Dream Donating Member | Oh, my eyes are welling up with tears reading about your little Kozanna. It is going to be a glorious day for both your and her when she adjusts completely to her new surroundings and learns how to be a normal, happy, puppy. Then there will be NEW tears in your (and our) eyes.......tears of joy! Best of luck for her continued "growth" and a big hug to you for adopting her!

I have shed lots of tears over this little one. When I saw her picture and read her story, I cried. When I brought her home, I sat and cried. I pick her up and see her reaction and cry. It's going to be a long haul, I think, but she will be worth it. I hope she will blossom and respond to the love I have to give her. I don't know if she will ever be a normal, happy puppy, but I'm sure going to try. | |

| How lucky she is now ... puppy mills are so sad ... my Jax and Jolie are so spoiled and I cant imagine them ever going through what some of these dogs have to endure. She is so lucky tohave someone like you.

| I so admire your will and dedication. Hopefully, one day I will be able to devote my retirement time to rescue work. All I keep thinking about is just soft soothing words and lots of gentle tummy strokes. How very lucky she is to have you.
