On another note, he has already figured out the other back door (leads to the yard) and he is going to it when he wants to go out. He hasn't even tried to lift his leg in the house.

He sounds like such a good boy!

Bless you for taking in this unfortunate handsome little man.

What about yorkie maltese?

[BaxtersMommy]

Just wanted to let everyone know that Miko is now an Okie and living in Tulsa with my Aunt and Uncle. This is exactly what I wanted for him, my uncle is in early stages of Alzheimers and just loves dogs. I had Jazzy and Baxter with me when we visited Memorial Day weekend and he just smiled and wanted them in his lap the entire time. It took my Aunt a week or so to decide that she was ready. It has been 30 years since they had a dog. Well, my cousin came over the weekend to to get him and take her back to her mom. He finally arrived to her last night about 7:30. I called at 8:30 and she said that Larry (my uncle) was a bit nervous by him in the house but that he is that way with all new things so he would be fine. She said that she let Miko out in the yard and he checked out all the flowers, went potty and came right back to her when he was done. She said he was going thru each bedroom checking out the house. Well, she called back at 10:00 and she was just going on and on about how perfect he was. She found out that all she has to say is "lets take a bath" and he would glady jump in the tub. hehe She also said that Larry had been saying, come here baby, come sit with me and Miko would go hang out next to him. She said he had a smile on his face and just kept calling him baby and honey. She is taking him today to the vet and getting him tags with her number etc. She was so excited and couldnt stop thanking me. Very excited, now I will get to see him when we visit Tulsa.

Thanks sweetie. It just kills me to know that little perfect baby would have been hauled to the garland KILL shelter if I had not gotten him. Who knows if he would even still be here. I dont get some people!

[manolos mom]

Me neither! Why everything tied to money. Too many dog breeders and look who is suffering. There is not enough people in the world like you who would take the time and help.

Anyway, she is moving to LA on Sunday. She has a 5 year old Schnoodle that is neutered, housebroken & current on shots. I have been trying to find him a home for a week to no avail. My Aunt and Uncle in Tulsa are going back and forth & they may take him. Anyway, yesterday she emailed me and said, I guess I will take him to the pound on Saturday. I am not the kind of person who can hear such a thing and do nothing. So, I am picking him up and welcoming him to our family. I do want to find him another home asap. He is 15 lbs and sounds like a lover. My Uncle has alzheimers and dogs make him so happy. I am really hoping they will take him. I offered to drive him to Tulsa, so we will see. I dont know why I am posting except I just can't believe that someone could just say, I will take him to the pound. She has raised him since a puppy. A career would never be that important to me.

Here is Miko! (he really looked like a Yorkie mix to me)

You ROCK !!!!!!!!!!! That is so great of you to do and he really has an exceptional little face in that photo - he DOES look like a little lover and all the best to you finding that 'right' place for him - why wouldn't she try to find someone to take him before making a statement or decision to drop him off at the pound - I see she's young but still.....can't understand that at all and thankfully for HIM you are now the hero

hugs
what a nice thing to read on a monday morning !

Edited to add - so happy for him that he's doing so well in his new home.

She is young, following a dream to be famous! To her, giving herself a WEEK to find him a home was good enough. She had the nerve to tell me that she would make the decision where he was going. I said, No, you are giving up your rights to him. Didn't want to be rude, but I was taking him on to live with me for who knows how long. If she really cared about him he wouldn't have been in this position in the first place.

What a wonderful person you are!!! Such a great story to start my week out with, Thank You for being there when no one else was for Miko! I'm so happy everything worked out so wonderfully for him and your relatives He is so handsome!!! ((((Hugs))) to you for being there for him. I can't believe the nerve of that girl trying to tell you where she will allow him to go and after she was going to take him to a shelter. What nerve! Good for you for setting her straight!

[susan lynn]

This is such a blessing that Miko found a great home and your aunt and uncle have a wonderful companion. t was wonderful of you to take him and find him a home.

[julieb]

Miko looks like such a lover! How could anyone leave that little face? Im so glad youve taken him in. You will find the perfect home for him...I just know it!

[Rhetts_mama]

I'm so happy that Miko has found a forever home. He sounds like he is going to get and give lots of love there.

[kdhawks]

That's awesome! I am glad your aunt and uncle could give the little cutie a wonderful home!
