OMG! You must have been so angry! He's lucky he didn't get his ass kicked by you...(he's no dummy...he probably saw the psycho rage in your face...and decided he wanted to live)

OMG!!! That freaks me out!! And people wonder why we are so overprotective of our babies...you just never know.

Us Texas girls think a like, I would have kicked his a$$ too. :p

I am so scared about that. i dont want anyone to come into my apartment and take my new baby. I would have went wild on that JO!!!!

Tricia - I spent all night thinking about that story and how very VERY lucky you were to be right there - that JERK probably would have just walked off with your baby and thanks to MOM and her quick thinking and acting he probably figured it wasn't worth the trouble - but I just can't believe you had to go thru that - I know you must have been shaking like a leaf and hugging your Tori all night - I would have wanted to attack him too - but you did the right thing - if you had really gotton physical you could have been hurt AND he would have taken your baby.....our world is getting sicker by the day ....

I SWEAR - if yorkies weren't selling for so many thousands of dollars like they are lately.... this may not have happened - it shows what this new 'Small Dog Craze' is doing to people :mad: you KNOW that JERK just saw Dollar Signs in Tori -

How VERY VERY LUCKY you were !!! I'm so glad you saved her - this could have been a HUGE heartbreak for you and your little girl - BIG HUGS to you and Tori and thanks for sharing this - it may save another yorkie

I always hear about this kind of stuff and I am always afraid it is going to happen to me. Now I know for sure that I need to be very careful.

I know your scare, ive had a similar experience with one of my previous yorkies (RIP) a LONG time ago, she also found her way out and someone picked her up, and claimed her, my husband and i were devistated... he searched for her till 11pm that night, fortunaly and bless this person, gave him a tip to where she might be because she saw those people take her in the car with them, he found out where they lived and spoke to them, they denied everything so he gave them a fair warning, the next morning at 5am we heard a pathetic little cry at our front door (thought i was dreaming) then i listened closely and heard it again, my husband jumped out the bed to open the door... there she was, soon as we turned on the lights, we heard a car pull out our driveway, all 3 of us sat there crying and hugging each other, sad part is, she was traumatized for the rest of her life, as soon as we opened the door for visitors, she used to run to our bedroom to hide!

This whole experience is still very clear in my mind and its something i will NEVER forget, i think thats probably why im over protective of my 2 girls now, im always "alert" when walking anywhere with them!

Im SO glad you caught what was happening in time, you did good by acting so strong and showing him that he doesnt scare you, though i know how scared you must have been, you gave him a piece of your mind :thumbup: WELL DONE :thumbup:

Thank you for sharing your story, this might save a lot of heartbreak and warn people to stay alert at all times :)

OMG that is just horrible. That has "almost" happened to us twice when we lived on base in KS. Thank gosh my husband was a few ft from Skittles every time or else who knows what would have happened. I am so glad nothing happened to your precious Tori.

puppy
 

Wow, I'm glad everything turned out to be okay. I would have pretended to call my husband, even if he wasn't home. Just call a man's name.
Something like that almost happened to my pug when he was 4 months old. My husband was outside washing the car and Bailey walking around out front of the house (he is a pug so he never runs off, just likes to stay close.) Well a car stopped in the middle of the road and they let 2 girls out who tried to call Bailey toward the car. I guess none of them saw John behind the car, who saw the girls get out. He walked up to them and they said, "Is this your dog?"
I wonder what would have happened if John didn't hear them stop. They might have scooped him into the car and took off. I try to be optimistic and hope that they were just wanting to help the dog or might have thought he was lost. I'm hoing that someone would not let their kids out to grab a puppy with a color on it out of someone's front yard.

My wife had Heidi in a store one time when she was young and a lady came up to her and said , do you want me to hold your dog while you look around, she thought for a second the lady was trying to be nice, but then had a little touch of mothers intuition and thought what if this person has alterier motives. She politely declined the ladies offer. You just never know who could be lurking out there do you. :eek:

S/W

It's a crying shame that you didn't have a stun gun to shoot his family jewels..... an insect like that should NOT be allowed to reproduce.

I hope that you and Tori have recovered from your ordeal. Sending Yorkie hugs to you both.

OMG thats horrible! So glad you were able to stop it from happening. I think I would still have kicked his ass!!!! What a horrible man :mad:

You are all so wonderful, I feel so much better today. My husband was so mad when he got home, all day today he has drove around looking for him. I really was glad he didn't find him though, I don't want him to do anything stupid and end up in trouble.

Oh my gosh Tricia, what a horrible scare you had. Im so glad that you and Tori are fine. I hope this guy nevers shows up again. Just be careful.

I'm glad your husband is so protective of you. I'll be he would whoop his a** if he saw him. Sometimes I wish these dogs weren't so friendly towards strangers. Glad you're feeling better. I am always nervous about Brandy because she can get out of the gate so easily and it would only take a second and they're gone.

That was incredibly scary. But, what man in his right mind even consider coming between a mom and her Yorkie baby? Not too smart, huh?

You must have been so scared, but you did great in that situation! I am so glad you got out there in time. What a Jerk!!

Good for you if anyone ever touched my dog I think I would go postal and kick the s... out of them, the dont mess with the chester dog, he is my buddy my everything.

I'm so proud of you!!
 

They are like our children. I would have done something similiar to what you did, but I have to admit while I was reading what you said to the guy I had to giggle.
Yes sir, and if you try to come back, us YT members will kisk your a$$ too! On a different note, I am really sorry you had to go through that. What a jerk. I'm glad you had the instincts you did to stand up to that guy!! You're a hero for saving your dog! :good job:

When I first got Wosie, I was reading this board to bits, and one of the things I picked up was making her sit and I go out the door first, then pausing, and then releasing her to come out with an "OK". She is so funny now because sometimes I will forget and just go out and then wonder where she is. She is sitting inside waiting for her command! This would prevent your baby from running out the door without you.

Villette, your note freaked me out. I was scared for YOU, dear, even though you seem to have had the situation under control. There are just so many whakos out there...Would you consider calling the police anyhow to let them know the situation occured? Registering the complaint now may make any future problems (with OTHER people's pups, not YOURS) easier for the cops to deal with.

They don't ever run outside without me. I carry them out, we were all playing in the fenced yard and she was close to the gate, and slipped through. She barely made it to the front yard before I noticed she was gone. The guy was standing in the street and she went to him and he picked her up. For all I know he could have called her.

Not sure if you ment me or not but I did call the police and they said that he probably picked her up because he didn't know where she lived (bulls... he didn't) they also said well it sounds like you may have scared him off. If he comes back then call us. :mad:

The sad part neither of my babies have been outside since this happened. :mad: Lexi is wee wee pad trained and Tori is getting there...

I say we all get together and kick his A$$!!!! :mad: :mad:

That makes me so mad!! I can imagine the fear you were feeling.

Not only would I kick the guy from here to next year, my husband would not take kindly to someone stealin his lil girl!

Some people...grrrrrr.....
