sigh
 

so i found jake a new home.

sigh.

that was hard. i've bonded with him. and now he's gone. and baxter misses him.

but he's with one of my dear friends and i know she'll give him the home he needs. but it's still sad to see him go.

also, i went back to the flea market this month with another friend. and she ended up buying a peek-a-poo (against my advice to get a lhasa apso.) welll.. i haggled the price down from $200 to $175. and i told the woman i'd give her $20 for a lhasa apso, since it was the last day of the market and they were about to close and she reluctantly agreed.. haha.. that's a $200 dog!

sooo i got that precious lil darling. i named her nomi and gave her to another female friend as a present. that was the smartest lil puppy i've ever seen. she's almost potty trained and she hasnt even had her two days yet.

anyhoo.

with all these dogs running around, i realized how much i love baxter. i'm so glad i took that risk, for those of you who remember our story. he's the best thing that's happened to me in years. i love that when other people hold him, he watches me. and if i move towards the door, he comes running. he's really not that needy, he just wants to be in the same room with me.

it's the greatest feeling knowing that he loves me, as much as a dog can. he's so loyal. sigh.

after my boyfriend killed himself and my grandmother (who raised me) died... i really hit rock bottom. i had to take pills just to help me get through the day. everything was steadily falling apart and i'd never felt so empty.

and now i can feel those things healing, for the first time. i know it doesnt make sense to most people, but really, baxter is changing my life. he's making me want to live again.

i love my dog.


sorry for rambling. i just had to get this out.

(((((((((mikey))))))))) i didnt know your story but all i can say is *hugs*

hi mikey. i know how you feel. My Dougal and Wee have saved my life when I've been depressed.

Did you know you just can't cry when a yorkie oozes onto your lap and starts licking your ear? :D :p

Yorkie kisses in Baxter's ear cos he's missing his mate!

Mikey-
I can only imagine how much Baxter means to you. I love Sissy beyond measure and I wasn't dealing with any of what you were when she came into my life. Keep on being the great guy you are.

Mikey, OMG you are making me cry!! I am so happy that Baxter came into your life. It is amazing how these little ones can make the darkest days seem so bright. I think you have a very big heart and a wonderful spirit and I am so glad that you are on YT!! :)

I believe everything happens for a reason, and sometime you are placed in the right place at the right time,,and your story is just another example of that to add to my list. ;)

thats why i got my lexi too,,i was sad and wanted something or someone to
take care of.. she's my life... she helped me get out of my rut

Mikey you and Baxter are very lucky to have found each other. I'm so glad he is there for you.

Mikey I am glad that Baxxxter has given you that lift that you needed. I am sure I can speak for everyone in saying that we all understand what you mean about loving him so much. Big hugs to you and Baxxxter:D

Mikey You sound like a very caring wonderful person. I think you have a mission in life! Helping the under dog! I amsorry about the struggles you have had and so glad Baxter came into your life and you in to his. I wish I had a friend like you to surprise me with a puppy!!! My yorkies have been my salvation many, many times.

Mikey, I'm so glad that you have found the love and loyalty balm with Baxter that your heart so needed. But, I hope that you have also noticed that you have found a group of people here who have come to love you as well. You are one special kid.

You are a special person and your story touches my heart. I am glad that Baxter is helping you to heal. I am sure that you are helping Baxter also. It is so wonderful that you two have each other. lots of hugs for you both.

Mikey,

I had hit rock bottom too when my fiance cancelled our wedding 2 months before it was supposed to happen. I can feel for you when you say that your furbaby has helped make you feel happy again! ;)

Mikey, my son died at 4 months old and if he would have lived I would loved for him to turn out like you! So... if you don't mind I would like to call you my Son h.c. (honoris causa.)

And I like to upgrade your Big Yorkie Rescue Medal to a Blue Ribbon Big Yorkie Rescue Medal! :aimeeyork

Bad Mikey, trying to make me cry at work!!;) You are a wonderful young man with lots of love in your heart. You have demonstrated this by facing all kinds of adversity with grace, taking in and caring for needy animals and being a wonderful friend. It's no wonder that Baxter loves you so much, as we all know that animals see straight through to the heart. I hope you and Baxter share many years of joy together. Nikko and I send you and Baxter lots of hugs and puppy kisses all the way from NYC.:hug60: :hug:
