My baby is missing. I dont know what to do!??? - Page 66 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Glad this shelter was so good to work with you, They looked so much alikeI wouldn't have been able to sleep without Your knowing this additional information. I was checking into having our litter chipped before letting them go to their new homes to find out the area I live in doesn't even have a scanner. Can you believe this!!! I will still chip my guys because another lady posted about camping with her Yorkie and we do this plus travel alot back and forth from VA to TN ususally weekly in the summer. So I would rather be safe than sorry. Your post has been so good to make alot of us realize how quick our little love bugs and get into trouble. I have been reading post from the Colorado area and one lady actually watched a coyote snatch her little one and take off. There were 2 larger dogs there with him. Could this have happened to you guys?? The Denver area is having outbreaks of teenaged boys stealing these guys from backyards to give to their girlfriends for Christmas. Haven't heard anything from the Dr. Phil show, I really think if they could feature him your chances would increase greatly of getting him back. You have a good day, hope you got those decorations up!!!!

Gen
I am sorry that Cookie has not yet returned home. I check this thread several times a day hoping and praying that Cookie is home. I feel your pain in the words you write. My heart aches for you. I have a greater appreciation for my furbabies. I no longer take them for granted. My love has deepened for them ( I did not think it was possible). I must say you are truely an inspiration and have inspired me. You see I have adopted a special needs yorkie girl. She was redlisted due to a neurological disoder that impeds her ability to coordinate her movements and interfers with her balance making it impossible to walk . I thought I could give her quality of life even if it was for a few days. Well those days turned into weeks and now months. It is amazing what faith and love can do. She is in need of a doggie wheelchair that I can not afford at the momment but you have taught me NEVER to give up. Gen you are a truely amazing person with your love and strength you have demonstarted throughout this ordeal. Helping to reuinte others with their lost furbabies, taking in others. I feel as though God has a huge plan for you to do a greater good as a guardian angel for these precious little babies. Not a job for just anyone. I pray that God will bless you and your family with the most precious gift of all THE SAFE RETURN OF COOKIE. Hear our prays!!!!!!!!! God Bless you Gen!!!!

I just had an idea. Have you distributed flyers to the area schools? If the adults won't play nice maybe the kids will. One of those kids may have something to say.

blancla · 12-14-2009, 06:16 PM

Hi Gen, I was just checking for any updates.

Cookie2 · 12-14-2009, 10:03 PM

Tonight we went on a wild goosechase. A woman called me at 10 pm telling me to please go to this plaza because she saw a little yorkie running through there. Well I just didnt buy it and I asked her at least 3 times " Are you sure it was a yorkie??" She told me 100% it was a tiny yorkie, she ran to get it but it kept running, it went behind the store into some bushes .She said she would NOT have called me but she read my story in the newspaper article and said she knew how much he meant to me. So she rushed home to get the newspaper and my phone number was there. Its only like a 3 min drive there. I looked like a crazy woman!! I was in PJ's with the headphones and listening device calling out Cookie's name and my husband on the other side doing the same.We walked and walked all the parking lot for over an hr. I hope someone in the parking lot saw this dog and took him until the morning. I told her that I have had 3 calls from people finding a small dog but they drive off and called me. The dog will NOT be sitting there waiting for me when I get there.

Today I had to follow through a very tough decision. My husband and I talked for a long time this weekend and Jasper had to be taken to the Foster house. They are trying to get him a family with no pets and kids are a plus. He loves kids,playing all day but he is very controlling when it comes to getting anyone's attention. He was double and triple the size of some of the dogs here and he would run them over if he knew they were coming to me. I heard what I thought was a squeek toy and it was Monica being squished by Jasper.This was my plan from the beginning and I knew what was right. I just did not want him in a pound. I tried talking to the yorkie rescue here and his size is a real issue so she was honest and told me the chances of him getting adopted were slim but if he was in a foster home with bigger dogs, his chances were way better. This place needs a lot of help. They are accepting donations to be able to build a big facility at that location to be able to have 40 dogs roaming free. They dont have them in crates there. There were sections ,small gated yards with smaller dogs, puppies. I know this place needs help and I'm going to bring some help for the holidays.
They need toys, towels, detergents like bleach, bowls, and lots of towels!
They are nonprofit so all this is run on donations.

This entire ordeal has taken me through so many experiences. Today I also got a call from someone that has my flyer and is a groomer. She has a client that needs to get her yorkie a forever home because of husband's job change. I didnt even want to go see this little guy because I just fall in love and feel sorry for them. Well I told her I would go and take pictures and try to find him a home. I get home and the phone rings. A rescue calling me to tell me that a family with a 30 yr old daughter just diagnosed with MS is looking for a small yorkie for her. I 3way called the groomer who is taking care of the yorkie and they set up to get this little guy. The man thanked me so much for doing this.
The yorkie is 6 months old and VERY tiny. He fit in the palm of my hand! He must weight at least 1- 1.5 lbs . ADORABLE, Icarried him and he stretched and fell asleep on my neck. I'm glad that this young woman will be getting the surprise of her life when she sees this little guy.

Thanks for the update Gen, it must be driving you nuts always thinking you're *so* close to finding Cookie.

I have been wondering what purpose GOD had for you and your family to go through this ordeal, I guess he is showing us now. Just think of the happiness you have a part in making for this young lady. I know it is hard on you but in a world of so much hurt anger and hate, If I could make someone happy for just one day I would feel I had been blessed. You my dear are blessed everyday because I can feel the love you have for people and the furbabies that are lucky enough to cross your path. Yours and Cookies work might not be done yet, but I feel Gods hand is upon Cookie where ever he is, even if it is at his side, God has used him to make you the person you are and for you to do some of his work here on earth for him. God will give you the strength, courage and means to continue on. You are a awsome person. Sharon, Joey,Cabella and the six puppies.

blancla · 12-15-2009, 03:49 AM

Gen, I am so happy that you were able to find a good place for Jasper. I know that he will be happier there with the big dogs. We have a teapot here who is 12lbs. He gets a little over whelming at times too, and runs over the smaller yorkies. Don't feel bad, Jasper will find a good home soon.

I know that the calls that are not leading to anything seem to be getting tiresome. Just hang in there and never let a lead go. You don't know which one will lead to Cookie.

I'm glad that you were able to help the young lady with MS find a Yorkie. It's amazing how God works. I agree with joeys mom. I do believe that God works through us, and I believe that this is just the beginning of your happy story.

I pray that Cookie comes home soon, but only when God's work is done and at God's will. Just remember, our time may not be the same as God's time. I do believe he will continue to open the doors that need to be opened, and will grant us the things that we need, but remember, it's all in his time.

I have started feeling exactly like this for the past week and a half. If I dont get Cookie returned, a lot of good has come out of this. Yes my heart is broken in a million pieces. I still have my terrible moments. Things have not been the same since 11-15-09 and wont be for a very long time if he is not home. My mind has accepted that 5 yrs and 6 months was all the time Cookie would be in my life in order to change my life. But there is no way that my heart wants to accept it. I am his mom always. I will always look for him in one way or another. I will always take a double look at a yorkie I see with someone else. Yesterday I had to meet my husband at the bank so we can notarize a loan modification paper. He drove in front of me and all of a sudden he quickly pulls over to the grass and slammed on his brakes! I thought he was hurt or something. I start looking around the street and notice a man walking a little Yorkie. I signalled to my husband that I already talked to that man and I even touched the little yorkie. It was not Cookie.
So I know this sort of stuff will happen again.

Gen, I pray everyday that Cookie returns to you. After reading this, I just want to tell you what a special person you are. You've done so much to help others during this process. I have MS, and my yorkies have made such a difference in my life. They are perfectly happy to sit on my lap and do nothing on bad days, and bring such joy no matter how I might be feeling. I know the gift you arranged for that young woman will make such a difference to her. God bless you!

Lorrainelola · 12-16-2009, 05:40 AM

Gen, we are all thinking of you and Cookie. Your story makes me realise we should all be so thankful for what we have as we never know what the future holds.
We are having a loft conversion and my huge leather bed which i bought after my divorce wont fit up there and I took it out on my new husband when he said we would have to get rid of it and buy a smaller one.
I read your updates and cried as I do every time and realised its just a bed. There is you searching for the return of your cookie and I'm having a stropp about a bed. It has made me realise i should be so thankful for what I have, a loving husband a great son, 2 beautiful german shepherds and one lush baby yorkie.
God bless you and your family. x x s
