There you go ! That's the attitude

I know it has to be hard thinking of what she went thru but like you said - it's her past - you're her present

You are doing a wonderful thing for Rosie. It is natural to feel what you are feeling, and everyone has given you great advice!
She needs you now, and you are going to make a huge difference in her life, you can be sure of that.

Adi-and-Missy · 01-30-2010, 05:48 PM

I gave Rosie a bath and gave her an advantage treatment. I brushed out what I could of her poor hair. Her skin is pink. Anybody know what this could be? Also, her eyes haven't been cleaned in a long time. She has crusty build up.

How can I clean this off. For Missy I just use a warm towel and flea comb. But I'm afraid if i do this with Rosie I might hurt her

Here are some pics of Rosie

And of Missy hiding :*(

Any advice on helping Missy too?

Funnel that sadness and pity into taking the best care of her possible. I would definitely take her to the vet for a check up and have her shaved at the groomers. A good diet will assure her fur will grow back beautiful. She will fall right into your routine and your heart!

I feel your pain, but you are doing a wonderful thing and helping a poor little baby that needs a new chance at a happy life!
I cried a lot when we brought our Camden home. She also was matted all over and to the skin, she had to be shaved down, but it's hair and it will grow back!
She will feel better too, because when they are that matted, it hurts to move.
Just remember that you are making a difference!!

llcornell · 01-30-2010, 06:47 PM

She is beautiful....she'll be adopted quickly.
Most of my fosters usually have to be shaved but if her fur isnt too matted and can be combed out it will help her get adopted. Yorkies with longer coats get adopted faster???
I would just use warm really wet cotton balls for her eyes and keep trying to work out the boogies, cut what you can. Sometimes if the eyes are really yucky there can be little sores under the boogs, I use a tiny dab a neosporin on the sore til it heals.

I agree. Get her off to a fresh and clean start

You are such a kind person helping this little girl out. Bless your heart.

Yorkiegran3 · 01-31-2010, 12:17 AM

The dog whisperer says dogs 'live for the day' so today and the rest
of this baby's life will be great 'cos I know you will care for it well and
it'll be found a great forever home.

Forget 'before' love, and love it lots.

God bless you.

Her hair doesn't "look" that bad, it actually appears to be silky. Maybe you can gently work out the mats and trim her up a bit.

A little love goes a long way, so focus on that and everything else will work out.

jadabug · 01-31-2010, 02:47 AM

She is a beautiful little girl. Just love her and she will never remember the bad stuff. My mom rehomed a little 4 yr old biewer who was matted to the skin. The groomer had to shave her and It has been 9 months and she is gorgeous now. You are a wonderful person to bring this little girl in. I have nothing but respect and admiration for all you wonderful ladies on YT who foster, I Know it has to be an emotional rollercoaster when you see these little ones who have been so horrible abused and neglected. Sending prayers and good thoughts your way.

smallmans · 01-31-2010, 03:44 AM

You are a WONDERFUL furbaby MOM. You have a heart as big as can be, we know that because you are fostering. Have one last good cry and then be happy as can be. Your new little love will come around. These days will soon be the past and you'll be joyful over the wonderful change you have brought in the life of this lucky little dog. Hugs to you both!

lil fu fu girl · 01-31-2010, 09:55 AM

My heart goes out to you. Being a foster mom for a rescue is not easy.
You get to see the brutality of the human race. As hard as it is to see, I
applaud you for being their last chance hope. Finding someone to care and love these most innocent victims of abuse should be of concern to all.
Bless you for stepping up to the plate and doing something about it, and not just talking.

MI Yorkielover · 01-31-2010, 10:16 AM

Missy will come around, too.
Just give her a little extra cuddle time with you.
I agree Rosie is beautiful and should not have a
problem finding someone to love her and
give her a forever home.

dwerten · 01-31-2010, 10:17 AM

she is beautiful and you are awesome. You can do it !!!! The walk should help them become buddies too I would think. I agree with the vet visit though so your baby does not get anything.

I agree on the warm cotton balls and flea comb just like you do your babies she is just the same

I am so looking to how she progresses as i know you will do a great job

Try not to cry anymore though as she will feed off your emotions even if it is hard. She is probably so darn happy to be with you and Missy just needs to warm up a bit so give her some extra loving too
