OPeration Pebbles 1 Attachment(s) I got a desperate call from my supervisor at work. Seems he has a friend who bought a yorkie 3 years ago for her daughter. They are a busy family and no one takes up time with the dog. She has never potty trained, and you know what that means. Beatings, rubbing nose in it, scolding, isolation, rejection etc. They were about to "get rid of her" . whatever that meant. So he called me. Maya and I went to get her. EVeryone in the house was glad that Pebbles was leaving. She was active and happy at the house when I went to get her, but she has been terrified at my house. SHe has not gone potty yet. I have her crated. She is not eating yet, just sipped a little water. I have a potential new owner coming to meet her this evening. I feel so sorry for her. Life as she knows it is over and she does not know where she is or what is happening to her. It is 3 AM and I can't even sleep because I feel so sorry for Pebbles. |
Oh she looks so sweet. Thank You , for getting her out of that situation. I hope you can find her a loving home where her people will be patient with her. |
Pebbles and I went outside alone at 3:30 AM. I left the other girls inside so she would not get distracted. She has no idea what it is I want her to do outdoors. She rolls around in the grass and then looks at me like "Is this what you want?" We had a bright full moon out this morning and Pebbles starred at the moon for a while and looked at me like "do you see that?" It's 20 something degrees out this morning, but I waited. FINALLY she went pee pee and I gave her the treat of the century. When I went to praise her and pet her for going "good potty" she cowarded. I have no idea what she has really been through. I let her stay out for a bit in the kitchen and she is now back in the crate. I will take her out before I go to work, and my neighbor who rescues dogs too will check on them all mid day for me. This evening her new prospective Mommy will come to meet her. I will keep you guys posted. |
So many people are so ignorant of the needs of a dog or how to communicate with them. I hope who ever gets this little girl is very patient and loving. Someone that can spend a lot of time with her would be good since she is so far behind in her training. She needs lots of attention and training hours to learn how to live with decent people. Is the new owner home during the day to spend time with her? |
It sounds like Pebbles has had a very sad life. She's so lucky that you came along to save her. She may be scared and confused now, but soon she'll realize that her life has changed for the better. Thank you for being her guardian angel. |
Poor baby girl!! |
I asked the family where her food was, her bed, her collar, leash. They had none of the above, but told me that she only eats canned wet dog foods. I told them that that was not good for her teeth in the long run, they said they knew that, but it was "all she will eat." I just took video of her happily chowing down on my girl's Science Diet Sensitive Systems. She WILL be on a good dry kibble in her new home. I will see to that. |
That breaks my heart, poor Pebbles. I am so glad she is with you now, I know you will treat her with love and respect she deserves. Good luck and keep us posted. I noticed Pebbles is sporting a yellow bow, are you getting her all pretty? |
Thank goodness you took little Pebbles out of that situation :thumbup: That poor little girl, she must be actually afraid of going to the toilet - anywhere - because she knows the terrible things that will happen to her when she does :( Makes my heart cry. I really hope it works out well for you, and her potential new family. Sally + Harry x |
Bless you for rescuing this little sweetheart. I am starting to cry, just imagining her cowarding away from you when you praised her for going potty. Poor baby...I do hope she does to a patient, loving home (she looks so sad in the picture) :( Praying that she will soon be as spoiled as all of ours. |
That poor baby :( glad she found you! |
aawpoor Pebbles, so glad that she will have a better home.. |
It is sad how some little yorkies are treated. What made me feel so badly for her was that she cowered when you were going to pet her.:( |
Bless you for saving her! She is quite a doll! I am so glad she is away from there!!! Best of luck find her a forever home. :) |
As a fellow "Pebbles" owner I feel terrible as to the way this baby has been treated. Poor little thing. Bless you for having the heart to take her and find her a decent home where she will be loved. What a shame. All they want is love!! Keep us posted. |
Awww, what a sweet face she has! How can someone be mean to her:confused: It just boggles my mind that someone could be so cruel to an innocent animal:unlove: It's not her fault she's not potty trained, it's THEIRS:mad: They should beat themselves and rub their nose in it! I hope her new home is patient, kind, and loving. Will you be able to get updates on this sweet baby? |
Poor little thing she is a cutie. Your are a great person for rescuing her. Some people should not be allowed to have pets. Hope you can find her a great loving home that treats her how she should be treated. |
Thank you so much for rescuing pebbles... I hope she finds a great home soon! |
That poor little girl... I'm so happy you got her out of that situation. She deserves better and she will get it! Let us know how it goes with the potential family! :D |
Poor lil thing! She has no idea what a normal,loving doggie life is. I hope that she and her new mommie will hit it off. It will be interesting to see how she blossoms over the next few days and weeks. Please keep us posted |
I would like to thank all of you for your comments in the thread, and yes for the member who asked , I put the yellow bow in her hair for the "come give me a home" picture. I can hardly stand to look at that picture because that baby looks so sad. When I went to get her, I took Maya with me , as I thought it would ease it some for the dog I was going to get. Maya never met a stranger. One of the teenage kids said "See THAT is the kind I wanted, one that would stay little like that." That kinda spoke volumes about what happened to Pebbles. She didn't stay tiny or turn out maybe as "cute" as they anticipated, thus the loss of interest. Well her new Mom is supposed to come this evening to meet her, so we shall see. |

I know exactly how you are feeling. A few months ago I met a woman on the street. I was stopped at a light and she approached my car. She saw how my lil Gizmo was "king of the passenger seat" and ask if I wanted another dog. She was 8 months pregnant (about 40 yrs old). She said she had four kids, two in state custody and the babies father was in jail for battering her. I agreed to go to where she lived to meet the dog. On that day I say her coming down the street and what looked like a filthy matted dirt filled rug wandering about without a leash. She yelled his name and he came running. His hair was all over his face so he could hardly see where he was going. He wasn't a Yorkie but he was a dog in need of rescuing. I knew if I left him that he would not survive. So, I took him. I got him groomed, took him to the vet for his shots, and found out he had an infection in both ears. He is half Lhasa Apso and half Dachshund. I am on a fixed income and had to spend my last $500 dollars in savings to help LUCKY. Like yourself, I thought I would help him and then find him a home. When I picked him up for the first time to cuddle him her trembled. When I fed him he ate like he had not eaten in days. When I went to bath him he jumped out of the tub. Long story short, he has adapted very well and there is nothing he would not let me do to him. He is loved. Now, LUCKY is home. So much for re-homing :>). I wish you the best in whatever you decided. You are a very good person. God Bless. |
It is so sad that they could just throw her away like some kind of trash because she's not what they had in mind. :( This brakes my heart & now they'll probably go get another in hopes for a little one:mad:. She does look like a very sweet little girl in the pic, but you are rite that she does look very sad too. She is probably very much missing the family that treated her so badly. God Bless you for saving her from those terrible people. |

You are such a good person for rescuing this little girl...she looks so sad in the picture, but her life is sure to improve now that she is out of that house. I'm hoping she clicks with her prospective mommy tonight and that she is treated like a queen from now on. |
