Hello everyone i am soooooo sorry that i rushed through the post like i did i came home quick enough to tell my kids i loved them and goodnight and i rushed back out the door. It was Sam and it was a accident. I have a MAJOR RULE in my home that no one but hubby or i are the hold the furbaby's unless they are sitting on the floor and then the babies can sit on their laps. But my oldest daughter will be 18 in 16 days and she has become a reall hard to handle not listening to us at all kind of kid and she took it upon herself to pick him up well he did not want her to so he jumped from her tothe floor hubby (Bill) saw her grab him and just started to open his mouth to tell her put him down when he jumped.Bill picked him up and we rushed him to the vet we were told that he had a concusion and were given the choice to take him back home or pay 100 a night to keep him there and as i am sure all of you feel the cost was the furthest thing from our minds so of course we said keep him because we didn't know if he would/could eat or drink on his own so they could start a i.v if needed. The next evening we were informed by the vet assistant that he had in fact been eating and drinking on his own. And they said i can go pick him up after 10 am today. He is still sore and will need his rest so i plan on keeping him in his kennel (when i am not fussing over him)so the the other babies will not bother him until he is feeling 100% again. as far as my smart a$$ (sorry for the bad words i am still hurt and upset with her) goes she is now grounded until she is 18 or moves out because she broke and know she broke one of the biggest rules in out home.

Dee i am so sorry i feel so horrible that i did not call you sooner i was just so nervous and rattlebrained and spending all my time with him i haven't even seen my kids until this morning well not other than to run in and tell them night. I haven't been getting to bed until almost 3-4 in the morning and then back up within a few hours and back out of the house again please don't be mad at me i should have found time to call alot sooner.


Thanks everyone for the prayers and i do believe that they are what made him improve so much overnight so much so that they are telling me that he is ready and will be just fien at home.

Please i ask that you continue to keep him in your prayers because the poor little guy is still sore and not 100% yet.

Love,
Mary

Let me say it like this(and I'm saying this in a nice way)..in the last 3-4 mos. I have known two ADULTS to accidentally drop their yorkies(not kids, in my book if a yorkie jumps from a 5 year olds arms or an adults, the chance of them surving a fall from a child is much better)..the thing is, this child was almost 18, as I stated, I had my first child at barely 18..I know a lot of breeders dont' want to sell yorkies to people that have kids..I do feel the op was doing all she could to keep this from happening, but the thing is, these little dogs DON'T just jump from childrens arms, none of the 2 recent ones have happened with a child, but as I stated, a grown adult..I feel bad for the Max and Sams mom, but, sweetie, accidents happen, and believe me, there have been a lot more of these accidents with older people, they just don't come on here and let anyone know...

hha i just want to say thank you for your support and understanding and encouraging words i do feel like a total ugggghhhh there is not even a word for how i feel about this but i am doing everything in my power to make Sam better and i will continue to do so whether he gets 100% better or not i will never abandon him no matter what i love him with all my heart and he deserves the best from me and that is what i plan on giving him.

And to everyone else i want to thank you all for the support and understanding and also encouraging words i was ready to leave yt over all of this but after reading post after post after post of nothing but love and understanding and so many kind words there is just no way that i can leave all of that but i am taking a break i will post daily updates about Sam but other than that i am going to stay on the sidelines and just read. (for a while)

She couldn't stand without falling, however, I gave her many opportunities and in no time at all she was walking. She did this when she was just a tiny pup chasing after my other dog, and she lived until she was 16 years old. I knew she was a fighter when she bit the dr. on the shoulder when he took her out of the incubator. That was the one and only time that she had ever bitten someone! You will be amazed how quickly your little Sam will gain his motor skills back. I wish you the best of luck!
