I had to act like it was no big deal if he let me take him while the whole time my mind was screaming, "let that baby go - you aren't taking care of him". I felt if I acted "over anxious" I would blow any chance there was of getting Gage out of that house! Perseverence paid off and I got a call 3 months later - told me if I wanted him, come get him! When I showed up to get him, there was this precious, SCARED furbaby, weighing no more than 3 1/2 pounds on a freaking CHAIN in the front yard!!!!!!!!! They unhooked him and gave him to me - I couldn't get out of there fast enough cause I was so pissed, I had visions of me going to jail for manslaughter!! Saw the idiot a few weeks later at the store and he had the nerve to ask me how HIS dog was doing. I turned and said, "Your dog? No, he is MY dog! You couldn't handle his care, have no business owning any kind of pet at all. Please don't ever refer to him again as YOUR dog!" He's not spoken about Gage to me since then on those rare instances we see each other.

Sorry to get so long winded, stories like these really touch my heart. I would love to help you with that precious baby if you get her but I live too far away. Know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers all week-end! I'll be looking for an update on Monday.

So here's the story ... Linda said the dog cost her $2,800 and they don't want to give her away for free. They are looking to sell her for $1,500 ... and I was only planning on paying $500. So it looks like I won't be able to get Daisy. :(

The only slightly good news is that another co-worker, Nicole (who is a total sweetheart), was interested in getting a Yorkie for a long time but hasn't yet because she just got engaged. So I told her about Daisy but she said her fiance was only willing to spend about $1,000 on the dog. So I offered to pay the $500 if she was willing to pay the rest. She said that she's going to speak to her fiance and see what he says and then get back to me and Linda. So let's hope for the best.

Nicole is nervous because it sounds like Daisy has been seriously neglected (health wise and socalization wise) and she doesn't know her temperament. So what I told her I'd do is, when I get back from Idado (I will be gone from September 2nd and return on the 12th -- my sister-in-law is getting married), I will help her with the socalization part. But if she does take the dog in the meantime, Daisy will beed to be checked by a vet ASAP, spayed eventually and check her teeth. She will probably need all her shots too.

So I will continue to keep you guys updated. Hopoefully Nicole and her fiance will save this little girl.
