Good luck with your new puppy and congratulations! Maybe we will see you in Fish Creek park sometime!

For sure! Playmates are the best present Snoop can ask for.

The one ear up thing is (so I've heard) because if you pet one side too much when the are a puppy it stunts it a tad...I'm not sure if it makes sense but that's ok. I think it gives him a quizzical look.

I can understand that!

I gives him Character and personality! I love how yorkies can be so expressive with their ears, I think it's one of their best traits.

I think we need one of those! I wouldn't look at the price either!

Lol, well he get's pretty good use out of it. I live in Alberta so when it snows and it's cold a yorkie can't just toddle outside like a lab or shepherd can. I keep his legs trimmed too because once it warms up a tad the snow gets sticky and balls up on the long hair. I left them last winter and let me tell you our blow dryer got used so often I went through 3.

You can see how short I trim his legs in this picture but in this one you can see that I do keep his hair quite long in the face, body, and back.

With a heavy heart I write this, little no name was diagnosed with a severe liver disorder that could only be survived with a $1000.00 procedure (liver replacement surgery, a biopsy, and a 2 week stay at the vet emergency hospital) and the rest of his life contained and drugged. The breeder and I came to the consensus that he will be put down :'(

Everytime he ate his liver became badly bloated and pushed on his stomach. He is much to fragile to survive the treatment and surgery, the vet said he had about a 15% chance of fully recovering.

As much as I would love to save him, he would not live life to it's fullest.

The breeder has kindly offered to give me another pup for only the cost of the vet bill ($150 because of all the extra genetic tests, x-rays, ect... vs $600) I sadly accepted because I know no name (dubbed Junior) would want his buddies to have a good home.

I am going tomorrow (Junior will be euthanized tomorrow morning) evening to see his fellow littermates, and hopefully find a match for me.

I feel like I am turning my back on Junior and it may look like that to others but I love Junior....and there is nothing I can do but love his on his last day.

RIP little Junior.

<3

That is so sad. I'm so sorry this happened to him. I agree with what you both have decided. I believe you're decision was the only possible choice for him. I do wish you luck tomorrow morning in finding another puppy. You haven't turned your back on him. He'll be rejoicing at Rainbow Bridge, because then he will no longer be suffering.
