I have a sis-in-law who's dogs nails are "way to long" all the time because she is afraid of clipping them. I had to clip one that was almost into her paw once so it isn't a sign that they are not very loved and missed. Glad you are caring for her just hope if she is a loved pet the owner will have a way of contacting you. We have an elderly lady here with dimensia who dearly loves her pup but cannot groom her. She depends on her kids (who are not very dependable) to groom her. Its sad but she and the pup would both be heartbroken if something separated them.

Why not bring the dog to a groomer for the nails... there is no reason a dogs nails should ever grow that long, I hate to be blunt but your sister in law should not own a dog if she can't properly care for it that includes trimming the nails!!!

As far as the lady with demensia, I understand that there is only so much she can do but why can't she find someone else to help if she can't depend on her kids can you try stepping up?

Sorry if I'm too blunt, I've just seen way too much volunteering at the SPCA in my youth!

Sis in law does take her to the groomer or to me but they grow real fast as you will find out if you keep this little one and they get away from her at times. As for the lady with deminsia not sure you have ever dealt with someone who has it but my father passed with it. It is not as easy for them to do things as you seem to think. She loves her pup dearly and if she had her right mind there would be nothing she would not do for it. I have told her I would help but sadly in her state of mind she only trusts her children. Even so I would never deprive her or her pup of each others company. I honestly think they would both grieve themselves to death without one another. I have had to care for a pup that was brought to me lost by a friend and believe me I would of loved to kept her she was precious but I did the right thing, hung flyers all over town with her picture and where she was found and on what day. Called all the vets in 3 towns, had her checked for a chip. When her owner came for her it was very obvious she belonged to him as she ran straight to him and jumped into his arms. His grandkids had opened the door the morning she ran away and she escaped without them seeing her. He stood in my living room and cried he was so happy to have her back.

About the Irish part? I'd rather not.

How do you know it was a matter of days, there was no date on the picture, was there?

Found this post on craigslist / Maybe this is the owner, seems very very possible !

lost and now stolen female yorkie

lost and now stolen female yorkie (noble)

now please tell me why my posting about my missing yorkie has been flagged. I have been missing her since the 10th and today someone flagged it. makes me think someone is keeping her and her babies. makes me sick to the dishonest people out there. she belongs with me and is reported stolen she has an alert on her and will need to eventually go to the vet. look at her teeth we had an appointment to get them fixed and now its your responsibility. but as soon as you take her to any vet they will scan her and see she is stollen. please just return her. if she has already had her babies you can keep one of them but give her back please.

Really?

Yeah Really ! :confused:

You said it looks like she may be pregnant or have had pups. So, yeah !

"Missing for three days, we just RECENTLY had her shaved"

We will find out on Monday if it's hers :)

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't read the details. Anyway, best of luck with this little girl.

I was indicating to the bold part at the end - this person said that they would give a puppy to the person that stole their baby? Are they serious??

Exactly! You are Irish and this is the temper I was talking about.
Unlike the plastic paddies, I'm second generation Irish- American, I've spent a lot of time over in County Cork with my family.

I'm not saying that Irish people lose their temper over everything just when we get going it's not always the best...

Thank-You.

That was posted in January though, so technically it wasn't just a few days ago.

However that dog looks older than the one you have.

Oops sorry I didn't see that it was you, thought the quoat below was from the OP

[quoteYou said it looks like she may be pregnant or have had pups. So, yeah !][/quote]

Idk , that what they said. Just passing it along in the hopes that she finds her family. God forbid this is the same Yorkie and she has had pups and they are lost somewhere hidden under some porch. Very little chance that they would be alive.

grumpylilmoose can you post pics of her belly so that maybe we can determine if she is or has had puppies?

It's ok Dawn. :)

I don't think it's the same one though... I hope not at least! It was mentioned that it's possible this girl is maybe 4 months old! :eek:

That great !

How far do you live from your sister in law, if you don't mind me asking?
Maybe a weekly trip could help them from growing into her feet?

I have an Uncle with schizophrenia, and another one whom is mentally retarded due to an umbilical chord being wrapped around his neck, when born, no one with dementia yet, I understand soe what about mental issues, though.

Can you shoot me your e mail in a PM and post them on here?
I can't do it on my phone.

This isn't temper, this is exasperation at plonking a stereotype upon a whole country of people. Sigh.
But let's just leave it there. No one I know in Ireland would call an American born (or other country for that matter) Irish. I don't get the trend. Anyway, good luck re the dog, I hope you find her owner.

I'm sorry for any offense I may have caused.
I'll try and be a bit more careful next time :)

[QUOTE=Handlewithcare;4155793]Are you actually Irish or just one of those people who likes to talk about their heritage AKA Plastic Paddies? I'm Irish (actual Irish - born there, Irish parents, lived there, Irish passport) and rarely have a temper, nor do my family and friends but sweeping generalisations about my fellow countrymen DO make me angry.

Seriously? Wow, he was just making a statement, and I am SURE that he did not mean to offend you..Calm down...:confused:

She seems to be growing breasts!
Not just nipples, but actual boobies!
Like under her nipples are starting to rise!

I'm thinking about making a Facebook page for her, and my other 2 dogs
Easier to post pictures:)

* I'd rather not give out my email address, but if you post them on FB and make them public I can copy and paste them here for you. You could ask the same person who posted the others for you.

Im on if you still have my addy I will post for you.

Here is the pic grumpylilmoose was talking about...

If I remember right...that happened to Ruby right before or right after heat cycle...and then kind of went away.

She doesn't look like she's had puppies and if she is pregnant she is not far along at all. Could be she is getting close to her first heat which will make her teats swell some.

Lol grumpy you are actually making me a lil grumpy to :p. My sis in law is 2 hours away and I take care of 7 grandkids off and on throughout the week plus my 2 pups so my hands are pretty full. I don't think you understand my point about trying to find the owners of this pup so I will just stop trying. Hope you have a blessed day and that she is reunited with her owner soon. God bless.
