OH shoot! I just got back in from being gone all afternoon and couldn't wait to see an update. I'm disappointed and I know you are too

We'll just have to hope for the best.

Rhonda, if you get him I will help some with the vet bills. So many people have helped me with the rescued puppies expenses. Let us know what happens. Elizabeth

You might check in at http://www.petfinders.org in the classified section to see if anyone lost one or if you get this one. Someone must be missing him. Hope the little yorkster finds a forever home, keep us posted please.

YorkieShadow · 10-20-2005, 05:21 PM

Well I hope she gets back with you soon. You know I was thinking it might not be ill. and of course I would have it checked out first. But it might of just been lost and got really hungry and skinny too. You never know. please keep us posted.

I think once you finally get to see him you will make the right decision whether to keep him or not.

...but I took him straight to the vet before he even came to my house, and he stayed with my mom a couple of weeks after that. I have two dogs of my own but my heart went out to this little guy. He was skinny, all covered with matts, seed burrs and those little seed ticks, and was so frightened.

This was about 3 or 4 months ago. He checked out OK at the vet (just had worms) but was dewormed. He had a limp and the vet took x-rays and said he had a cracked femur that had already healed. He had obviously been abused and it took him a while to come around, but he's doing great now. Also I took him straight to the groomer to get rid of the seed ticks and matting. Vet said he was about 8-10 months old then.

He's such a funny little guy....I'm pretty he's retarded. LOL But he is so sweet and I have no regrets whatsoever. Here's a pic of him a couple of weeks after he went to the groomer.

If I were you I wouldn't hesitate to get him, but take him straight to the vet first, and have him do the works on him. Maybe you know someone without dogs who can "quarantine" him a couple of weeks after the vet visit, just to be safe.

Good luck!

Ahh! What a great story, with a great ending,,thats what I was hoping for.... SO I called the girl a little bit ago,, cause I couldn't stand it anymore.I said How is the dog... well I guess the woman that had the german Shephards that couldnt keep him, Knew a woman who had a Yorkie so she called her and she took him,, and she bathed him and said he goes to the vet on Sat. but seems fine, she said he is the most loveable dog she has met, and she said I could have him if I wanted,,but she really wants to keep him, he gets alone good with her dog,, SO,,, as much as I would love to have a little lover,,, I guess he is fine where he is,and has a good home, so I'm just gonna be glad it had a happy ending for him,and I dont have to worry anymore. BUt I would love to have him..... anyhow,,, hes happy, she's happy.. it's all good!

Thanx, you guys for all the interest and helpful words. I appreciate it.

rrosenberry · 10-21-2005, 06:46 AM

Oh ya... she also said... She's looking forward to fattening him up, and she named him Lucky.... how sweet!

yorkieusa · 10-21-2005, 07:00 AM

You know, that's funny, cause my sister that found Squirt originally named him Lucky, and that's the name that's on the vet papers. He was lucky, but I kept calling him Squirt, so that kinda stuck. When I took him to be neutered, I had to tell them to change the name on his records.

rrosenberry · 10-21-2005, 07:53 AM

Do you know how BAD I wanna call her back and say " I WANT HIM" xspecially since I know hes ok,, and LOVEABLE.... Tell me he's fine, and he's got a good home.... TELL ME....
But, he was FREE even,,, that doesn't happen,,, EVER!!
ok,, just had to get that off my chest.. lol
Of course, I was gonna name him Riley or Ramsey...
TELL ME!!

JPop's Mom · 10-21-2005, 09:55 AM

Maybe you could call her and tell her if she has second thoughts, you would certainly want him.

She could be keeping him because she's not really sure that you want him. Worth a shot!

Good point! I'd give it one more try. He sounds like a real cutie pie!

rrosenberry · 10-21-2005, 10:11 AM

Ok I called,,and told the girl to tell her , that if by ANY chance she doesn't want him, or ever wants to get rid of him , to give her my name and number, and I will take him in a heartbeat.. so if it's meant to be it will be. I had to give it a shot.
