need help and prayers

[red98vett]

ALL RIGHT !!!!!!! Amazing and it's SO GREAT to hear a happy ending to what could have been a devestating tragedy....WAY TO GO to all who helped find this little guy - I'm really touched too....gave me chills

[LuvMySissy]

I am crying tears of joy. I went to bed last night not knowing what the outcome would be. How wonderful to log on and find the great news!!

Becca, my deepest condolences to you and Doug and Doug's family. What a horrible ordeal to go through. I know that nothing can bring Doug's dad back, but the with surgeon admitting he made a mistake, I hope his mom will file a malpractice lawsuit. With her being so young still, she will need that money for the rest of her life. And I am not a lawsuit kind of person, but there are just some times where it is warranted and I think this is one of them. I am so happy that you have both your babies safely in your arms. May they continue to give you love, peace and comfort!

Rebecca,

You and Doug have been through so much that I'm sure you are both mentally and physically exhausted. I'm so sorry about Doug's dad's death. I hope you all (Baby and Aggie included) can get some rest and be at peace for awhile. I'm still so very happy that Aggie is back in your arms again. I can only imagine the fear you were experiencing. God Bless both you, Doug, Baby and Aggie!

I'm so happy Aggie's adventure had a happy ending!

I am so glad you found him!

I am so happy you have your little Aggie back! I went to bed last night thinking about him and said another prayer. All I could think of was how scared he was and how physically and emotionally drained you must be. I'm so sorry about the death of your loved one. I'm so relieved to know you have your baby back and bless your hearts and his too!!!

I'm so happy Aggie is safe and sound. My deepest sympathy to you and Doug and his family. What a tragedy!

I'm so happy you found your baby. I know exactly what you went through because my dog was lost 2 months ago and never found. I am still looking for him and hoping for his return.

We left San Antonio on July 1st and headed to New Jersey where Doug's dad, Gus, under went routine heart surgery. He came out of the surgery fine, but 10 min into recovery he coded and was dead for 20 minutes. They were able to resesitate him and cat scans showed that he was brain dead. He was only 50 years old. He had the surgery at the University of Pennsylvania and the lead Professor Dr operated on him. After he coded, the Dr came and told us that he made a mistake, that he was overly confident when he did that left side of the heart that he didn't even finish the check ups on the right side. And he punctured a hole in the wall of the heart causing his heart sack to fill with blood. But the Dr said that he was sorry and that proceedures were going to be put in to place for that to not happen again!! Unbelievable!! What a joke of a hospital! Oh, but they offered to pay all expenses that accrued in the hospital...as if that is supposed to help what they did to our family. We spent 3 weeks in the hospital before waiting for Doug's mom to come to terms with it all and agree to pull the respirator out. We pulled it out on the 22nd around 5pm and Gus passed away at 12:50 am. His parents had sold their house and were in the process of moving things out before Gus went in to surgery. They had to be out by the 28th and we had to deal with moving her out because we couldn't lose the sell of the house, cause there is no way she could afford it now. So much stress and sadness and greif.....but when we were at the house everybody gathered around Aggie and Baby expecting them to make us all smile....and they did just that. They were 2 little furballs of joy for all of us.
After the funeral, a couple days later we headed back out for our 2 day treak back to San Antonio. Doug had to be at work today by 4 in the afternoon, so we knew we had a deadline and had zero time to fool around on the drive. We stopped in Malvern, Arkansas and got out and had lunch. I"m sure with Aggie having gone through so much the past month with being in 2 different houses and being around new people he was all ready freaked out. He somehow pushed the window button and got it rolled all the way down and jumped out. We came out and I saw the window down and immediately crumbled. As if we haven't dealt with enough all ready. People were yelling at us that he went this way and that way, and he was no where to be found. Baby was just sitting in the car quietly....too wimpy to jump out the window THANK GOD! We spotted Aggie 2 1/2 hours later he came out of a drainage pipe and ran across the feild and into the marsh lands. Not even 10 minutes later the thunderstorm happend. Lightening and LOUD Thunder.....we saw a tree fall over....and Aggie gets so scared of this weather...he goes and hides in the shower when we are at home and it happens.
After the storm stopped we checked all the drainage pipes...I thought he was gone at that point...the water was so fast and it wasn't letting up at all. We ended up getting a hotel room in the same parking lot and we took shifts all night long watching in this big feild. We had rubber boots and were walking in mud up to our calves. I really thought we lost him. No more sightings all night or at all during the day. Later we found some foot prints that looked like his, which really gave me hope that he survived the thunderstorm. The whole community really came together and hleped us out. All at once I was getting phone calls on my phone saying that they had seen him...unfortunatley it was on a 6 lane highway, but the cars were stopped and people were out looking for him...UNBELIEVABLE! People were calling me saying they heard that we saw him and wanting to come out and help as soon as they got off work. And one guy who came out after work was the one who actually found Aggie. He used to be in the coast gaurd search and rescue and he and his 9 month pregnant girlfriend were searching on their hands and knees with flashlights. He saw Aggie and of course the poor thing ran away, but luckily he ran right into a chain link fence....I ran around the side of the house and saw him crouching there, the guy had a flashlight shining right in his face so he couldn't see anything and try to run off again. I got right to him, and scooped him up, he was still really tense and then he heard my voice smelled me and immediatly relaxed in my arms and couldn't stop licking my face....I got so much dog slobber in my mouth but I didn't care!!!! Every body ran over, every one was cheering, crying, laughing!!!! It really was something you would have seen out of a movie. I really had given up hope at one point, but this small community just kept on searching. Thank God for that Guy that came after he got off work, and knew exactly what to do!!! He found my baby and i couldn't be more grateful!
Thank you to every one and all their prayers.
I have to go take Aggie to the vet and get him checked out.....I will get back on later and let you all know how he is!!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Oh I am so glad the ordeal is finally over . . . get the much needed rest and then when fully rejuvinated, come back to YT . . . kisses to Aggie. Would love to see a picture of the little guy that stole the hearts of the entire town.

Becca and Doug... I just got home from a trip last night and checked in on Yorkie talk and found your saga.... I had to read all the way through, and thank goodness, you had found your baby before I even got to the end of the posts. I'm so thankful you didn't have to endure the loss of him on top of everything else you have been through. Please let your mother in law know that many of us will be praying for her to get through this impossibly difficult time. There are no words to help when you lose your loved one, especially so unexpectedly! I'm sending lots of mental hugs your family's way!

Sincerely...Deb

Barb, the same thing happened to me. I hadn't sent one yet when I posted that. Try the guestbook. I think I'll do that.

Okay I am in tears over this story - Thank God the Lord found him back to you guys - I do not know what I would do if I lost my baby. I am so happy he is home where he belongs.
