Roccos Foster mom reply
 

As his foster mom I just wanted to give my thoughts about Rocco possibly being Yoshi. I told Mary that I would do everything humanly possible to see if this is her dog. I would want a yt member to do that for me! Honestly I HOPE IT IS HER DOG! Yes dog thieves or even just dishonest people will take a dog pass it off as their own at the vets office and re-chip a dog.

Whether this is Yoshi or not this dog is in CA and and he started out in the mid-west from the chip that he does have. I have 2 other yorkies one is 11lbs and one is 5 lbs and Rocco is definately 7 to 8lbs not 3.5lbs just by holding him.
I was going to make an appointment for Rocco at my vet for his exam soon as a rescue but with this Yoshi situation I expedited this to tomorrow morning and asked if their scanner would pick up ResQ and they said yes.

I personally think that if he has two chips the shelter would be the one that would have missed it and rushed him through the scanning process and not be thorough. Lets all hope and pray that Yoshi comes home either through this situation or he is found! I have my fingers crossed!

I just don't understand why you don't immediately send Mary pics of Rocco. She has been through hell and if it were me and she asked me for more pics, I would send her pics right away and videos and call her on the phone to try and help her ease her mind, not tell her wait until I clean him up.. I noticed you said that your husband was falling in love with him, I just hope that you are not hoping to keep him..I know that they give foster homes first choice so I am just a little concerned about why there is no rush to get answers for her..

Mary I really feel for your pain right now hoping it's Yoshi and not getting your hopes up to high. I do not know if this is Yoshi or not and like everyone else praying and hoping it is. I do want to tell you that Yoshi will still remember you even though it's been a year or so, I know this because I just went through this with one of our miltary foster dogs after a little more then a 2 years of him not seeing or hearing his owner it took Ziggy only a few sec. to remember him and it was like he had never left.

That'd be awesome!!!

Saying prayers that tomorrow will be a very happy day for you, hope you feel better soon Mary xo

Rizzo's mom I personally feel that you are really trying to help figure out if this is Yoshi i dont believe any yorkietalk member would withhold another members dog if they knew it was theres kudos to you

They do look alike, that would be great if it was him

( HUGS) Mary. This has got to be so hard on you. please try and rest we dont want you getting sick. I pray that this is your baby. but even if its not you did all that you could.

Rizzo's mom thank you for getting back with Mary. Good luck at the vets tomorrow. I wouldn't worry about getting him cleaned up for pictures. just try and get a few to post. I know on your other thread you said you had newer pictures but it said they was to big to post. maybe you could share those here. it was the ones after you had said you tried grooming him your self. those should be ok pics to go by.

???? Not sure that this is really necessary.




Mary, we'll be keeping you out thoughts. It would be awesome for all of this to work out.

Mary, I sure hope this works out and he could be your Yoshi! Please let me know if I can do anything to help.

I agree... :confused:

Good morning Mary,
Hope your feeling a bit better. I can't imagine how hard this has been on
you, never getting closure on your little one just reliving the horror of
his disapearance daily. I truly hope today, whatever the outcome, will
bring you much needed peace.
I also hope and pray, this is your baby boy so your nightmare will end
and you can get on with you life as it was.


Hugs,

I will be thinking about you. I hope it all works out. I can only begin to imagine the agony you have went through over this.

WOW! Mary...I can't even IMAGINE what you are going through right now. I am praying this is your Yoshi as I remember all to well the countless ideas and searches that we all offered to find him. A special prayer to his Foster Momma too for all she is doing to expedite an answer. I will be checking back.....

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.
