You are right! I should not have responded like this and Rizzo's mom, I apologize but I just let it get to me. I spent alot of time on the phone with Mary when Yoshi went missing and my husband helped alot in trying to find out what happened to him.. It was so frustrating between the strange phone calls and voice mail she received and then the rude lady I talked to who lied to me about what she told Mary..We were confident that someone stole him and then now to think that this might be him, I just got so impatient and frustrated that if it is him, he has been through hell and now he is at a home where he has been abused and he must be terrified.. I just want him back with Mary if it is him... I am sorry I overreacted and made assumptions without knowing you or your intentions. I applaud you for even considering taking in a rescue to begin with as I know from personal experience that it is hard work...I just pray that this is Yoshi and if it is not, then I hope Rocco gets the loving home he deserves....

That was nice to apologize :) Everyone let's their emotions get the best of them sometimes... ;)

Indeed :)

I am glad that you can see how strong your wording was...I am sure that Rizzo's mom can appreciate the highs and lows of the emotional roller coaster of this situation. I am sure that everyone is on edge and are so hoping that his would be Yoshi. :)

Amanada, Thank you for caring so much for taking such a personal interest in this for Mary. I have come to know you in your posts and was just a bit surprised at the overall intensity of this particular post.

Let's just concentrate and send out all the good vibes that we can for a good resolution for all those concerned. :)

Just checking to see how things went at the vet's appt today??:)

Thank you so much for everything you are doing...as much as I am hoping it is him...i am really doubting it is..with the microchip and size...and I know you are doing all you can do to help me...as well as everyone else...

thank you Amanda for this apology...and i know you emotions are just as strong as mine for we spent numerous hours on the phone trying to find him...lots of contacts with WPD as wells as all the number that called me with info on him...or what they said they seen and what not....i too believe till this day he was stolen and no telling where he is today...

as far as my well being..i think i am coming down with something...it just isn't the migraine i am now fighting...i been coughing and hacking all night and today...my head is constantly spinning....

for those the do not know me and my history with migraines...i have been battling these for the last 12 years and when i did have insurance through my job...i had a ctscan and mri done and nothing could be found...but who knows maybe when that was done it was still in it's early stages...but working with my doctor we have been trying to figure out what is causing them....and we were getting ready to run the ctscan and mri again but then i lost my job and no longer had the insurance to cover them...and i have been without medication and professional care of nearly 2 years now...so the battle is now mine alone....without meds and professional care.

although all the different meds my doctor had me on did no good for me...we were trying anything and everything...to avail....

well back on subject hear I am sure since they live in CA they are either there now or on the way there...it is a 2 hour difference from me....i will update if i hear something...and i am sure so will Rocco's foster mom..thank you once again for everyone's concern, advice, good vibes and prayers...

Just checking for an update.

Please let us know... I

I hope you soon feel better! May I ask how old was Yoshi when you last saw him? If he was very young couldn't he have grown into a 7lb Yorkie by now? I haven't read where the OP said she actually weighed this rescued Yorkie to get a real weight. He could be 6lbs actually on a scale. I wish you all the best through this!!!

no he was almost 2 years old when he went missing...and there is now way his tiny frame can support 9 lbs.

Update
 

I never said that I would not send pictures to Mary or that I had to wait until I cleaned him up. I don't know where you got that information. I have pictures on my cell phone that I have been UNSUCCESSFULLY trying to get them on the thread. I am not a computer geek and the file size is too large. My digital camera was stolen a few weeks ago so working with this cell has been a bust. She knows I have pics on cell but did not send a cell phone #
What I did do WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKE HIM TO THE VET TO GET HIM SCANNED FOR HIS CHIP VERIFICATION to see once in for all that this was or was not Yoshi. That is more accurate than a picture in the end
Secondly I would NEVER EVER keep a dog that was found to belong to someone else no matter how much I loved him. I have a very high level of integrity. Some of the comments are uncalled for and rushing to judgement! As soon as Mary pm'd me I have been working diligintly with her to clear this matter up as quickly as possible for her own piece of mind. I tried to get him in the the vet the same day I called but had to wait until this morning.
So tell me what I have not done for some of you that has not been fast enough????????

So sorry to hear this.
