There is a big red flag on this story. I hope they do get Lexie back, and I also hope they microchip her and the new puppy and keep a little tag with on the dogs with thier name and phone number. Without a chip, they can't really prove the dog is theirs, and whoever has the dog can now get it chipped in their own name. So sad.

poor Lexy
 

I feel so sorry for this couple.they really love her and want her home I pray some one will do the right thing and bring her home where she belongs.



AND that baby sitter should get in some kind of trouble.how in the heck did she lose her? come on its not your dog so they won't be as comfortable with you as the owners. she should never have had her off leash out side in the first place.sounds fishy to me also.

thats so sad, its the worst feeling in the world to loose a loved one:(

I am afraid to keep collars on my dog, esp. when I am not home, afraid they will get hung up on something. Do you keep collars on yours?

You could put cat collars on your dog. They break away if they get caught on anything. I don't put collars on mine here at the house, but when we take them somewhere I put their tag on their harness.

Riley has a small tag that I put on his harness, but his rabies tag is to big for him. Should I still keep his rabies tag on him?? It looks like it weighs him down. Lol.

I just called the owner of the lost yorkie. I think she will come & join YT. she said her user name will be lzpeaches.

She is just heartbroken about Lexy -- I'm just praying they can get her back very soon - someone thinks they spotted her.

I have harnesses if we go anywhere, but I dont keep collars in the house. I am very carefull that they don't get out, but I have a son and people come over and you just never know. And then if they were lost, nobody would know who to contact regarding the dog (I do not yet have them microchipped).
Thank you, I will go look into cat collars.

I just couldnt trust Chloe with anyone. Shes too cute I am afraid shed get snatched away.

I board mine every October for a week too two weeks and worry about this happening

Oh man:cry: This sucks and I hope and pray her baby gets returned:unlove:

how sad!!!! this is why my dogs are microchipped and only stay with trusted family members..i really hope they get her back!! she's a cutie

I'll be so happy if she joins YT. :) Hopefully the people on here will be able to help her! Thanks for letting her know about us, yorkiesmiles.

This story is so sad and when I read the article earlier today it broke my heart. I really pray that they can find their baby. :love: :cry:

I read the article in the paper and all the comments. I actually find that some people must just 'skim' articles like this and miss a lot of salient points.

One person intimated that it was their fault because they 'sent' the pup to a sitter without a leash. Not true...if they had really read it they would have seen that the pup was supposed to remain in it's own home. Contrary to the owner's explicit instructions, the sitter took the pup to her own residence and sent her brother to check on it when she had left it there. She should have stayed in the home as instructed by the pup's owners. If she couldn't be responsible enough to do the job as required, she shouldn't have taken it. Grrrrrrr.

Another person stated that instead of offering a five thousand dollar reward for the safe return of theor beloved pet, they should just give the five thousand to the hungry children of Des Moines and pray for th epup's return. What an idiot! I would recommend that this idiot give up what is dear to them, sell their auto, use a moped....sell their home and live in a pup-tent....then they can give ALL of those proceeds to the hungry children of Des Moines. Practice what you preach, I say. What's up with trying to make someone feel guilty because they love their Yorkie so much?

These folks have every right to do whatever they are able to do to try to get that baby back to their loving home. Anyone that thinks contrary to this has never loved or had the love of a Yorkie. I paid a lot for mine before I loved her. NOW....that I have had her and love her, she is worth so much more to me than what I paid. What I would be willing to expend to get her back if she became lost is not the business of anyone else, just like it is nobody's business how much they are willing to pay to get their baby back.

Sometimes, folks just really tick me off when they spout stupidity like that.

I just hope they get their precious baby back.
