Am I crazy?
 

I have 3 sweet babies. Jack (15 months), Ceci (16 weeks) and Angel (16 weeks). Today my mail man called and asked if I would take 2 (6 to 7 month) Yorkies. He said they came from a breeder who did not want them anymore. They were not sold from her last litter. She told him they were up to date on shots and that was about all. I could not resist and told him ok. His wife just dropped them off to me. They have been shaved and are growing out. Their ears are floopy but I think if I shave them they may stand. They have no signs of fleas or ticks. They are very shy and must have stayed in a crate because it took me a while to get them to come out. They seem to be in good health but they are thin and have lots of mats. I will be taking them to the vet on Monday to have them checked out. The mail man told me where the breeders daughter works so I am going to go by there and see if I can get any information or records on them. I don't even know if they have names. I slowly introduced them to my babies and they are getting along fine.

How long should I wait until I bath and try to groom them?

The first phot is my 3 Brats
Second is the new female
Third is the new male

Bless you for taking them! They look a little scared, but I am sure with lots of tlc, they will be great!

No, you are not crazy! You are a good-hearted person who loves animals. Bless your heart.
I would suggest that you not put the new Yorkies with yours til you have them vet checked and make sure they are really, really healthy. From what you say, you cannot be sure they don't have a parasite or some other health issue.
Again, you are a good person with a big heart! Good luck with all of your babies....keep us posted.

Thankgoodness you took them in , I shudder to think where they might ended up!!!:aimeeyork

Your so lucky as are they for having you!

your not crazy! you have a big heart! Kudos to you for taking them in!

You might think you are crazy, I think you are lucky. Your 3 are precious.
I would wait a couple days for them to adjust before baths.
Yes, I also would keep them separate from yours until the Vet. Check.
Have fun.

That is soooooo sweet of you :). I'm sure everything will be fine.....those babies are blessed to have found you. Good luck!

Thanks everyone I will let you know how it goes.

You are a big hearted person. I am so glad they found their way to you.

How lucky for both of you...All your babies are adorable.....Enjoy

They're precious! Congratulations! I think it's great you took them in. I also think you're lucky! two more babies!

I think you are very kind to have taken in these two new dogs. Do you think you'll keep them both or find them new homes?

I know this is off topic but did you used to live in LA before Hurricane Katrina? If so, I think I knew you from Garden Web. :D

You are very kind to take them in. Your babies are cuties. The 2 new ones look like they have been kept in a cage for a long time. They look so scared and thin. I am sure that you will give them lots of love and attention and bring them around. Good luck.

Yes Jokerman I did live in Louisiana before Katrina. I moved to Tennessee shortly after and was a Garden Web member. I now mainly go on Dave's Garden. It is a small world.

I gave both of them a bath last night and was able to trim up the male. Got most of the mats out. The female let me bath and brush her but won't let me use the clippers on her ears. I will have to wait until I have someone to help me.

I think I did a pretty good job on the male for being my first time doing serious grooming. Here he is after his grooming.

They are 2 very lucky lil dogs!! You are a great person to take them!! They are beautiful!! Best of Luck!!:animal36

Any suggestions on what to give them to get their weight up a little? I feed my babies Innova puppy dry. They don't get any people food so I am not sure what to give the new guys.

I plan on having both of them fixed and adding them to our family. I can see why the breeder did not keep the female. She has a super long body. It looks like someone cut her off behind the front shoulders (hair is even different) then added about 12" and then the back legs. Kinda like one of those slinky dog toys. lol Both are very timid but they are coming along well.

Betty

they are very lucky
 

It always amazes me how many Angels walk the earth
Those puppies are so lucky to have found a home at your house
They look already happier
Good luck

Welcome to the Yorkie 5 club! I too have 5 wonderful yorkies, so if you're crazy, I am too! You did a great thing. Good luck to you!!

Well you might be a little crazy, but join the club:D Bless you for taking them, they will come around in no time, I took one in that was the same way within 2 months you couldn't even tell he hadn't been here his whole life.:)

I totally agree !! Good luck and a hex on those who leave dogs in cages 24/7

They're adorable

Ditto!

Thanks for taking these babies in, sounds like they need some extra TLC! :thumbup:

I wish my mailman would ask me if I wanted two more yorkies. You're so blessed, enjoy them.

The vet gave the new babies Tucker and Lily a clean bill of health. They need to gain a little weight but are ok.

I talked to the breeder and she said that she had 4 litters at 1 time and then her husband had heart surgery and she did not not get to sell them all before they got too big. They are CKC reg and she will send me the papers. I told her I plan on having them fixed. They were born Feb 29, 2008.

They are coming around good and getting less shy and my other babies have accepted them as part of the family.

Aww you're so sweet! I'm glad they found you! That's great that they are calm and getting along with your other dogs. Kepe us updated, especially with new pictures! They are adorable!

Not Crazy...Very Special
 

You're an angel for taking them in. I know if I was asked I'd do the same...I love all animals. My dream is to have a huge farm with all animals on it. I would rescue them all if I could.

What a sad little face he has. I'm sure with lots of attn he will cheer up. Thank goodness there are folks like you out there to help the little ones! Best of luck!!! By the way - your 3 babies are dolls too.

You are a blessing for taking them in. I feed my puppies Merrick both dry and wet food. It has really fattened my babies up and made their coats very shinny and silky feeling.

awww you are so sweet! I think if someone offered me 2 yorkies I'd have to take them and give them a home also! :) :) I think you are lucky to have found them and they are luckier to have found their way to you somehow! :)

I think they are both adorable!!! :)
