I need your help YT'ers!!!!!!!!!! - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Grooming is very expensive, I'm so glad you were able to help. If she can't afford medication, I'm sure she can't afford to groom, & doesn't know the 1st thing on doing it herself. So lucky Candy has you for a surrogate mother.
Can't wait to see pictures.

I'm glad that little yorkie found you! poor thing! Well, I'm sure that if the lady does not want to let her go, at least you can train her on how to be a responsible dog owner.

Rhapsody · 03-26-2007, 08:55 AM

Heck, why wait. Why not just tell the lady that you just fell in love with her when you were cleaning her up, and if she'd be willing to sell her to you.

I bet she might jump on it since she really doesn't have the time or money to take care of the poor pup properly.

She doesn't like when other doggies get in her face.....all the bigger babies didn't go near her...lol

I'm not being pushy with the lady at all. All I know is that they are not educated and I believe they love their dog. I went and bought food for her yesterday and gave it to the little boy....this little boy is the best!!! He is so thankful for everything. When I gave him the food he said..you are so nice. For now I'm going to be there for them and educate them. If that doesn't work then I'm going to ask but I have to have more conversation with the mom first and get to know her a little.

The reason why I groomed her was because I couldn't stand to see her nails curling into her paw pads. If some think I'm wrong then you are entitled to your own opinion...I would not only do it for her I'll do it for any other animal. The lady was so grateful and wasn't mad. Don't get me wrong when I was grooming her I did think that there was a possibilty that she would be upset but she wasn't. I did it and its done and I feel proud.

I'll post some pics later!!!

I'm proud of you, too!

Those nails hurt when they dig into the foot pads. Bet she can walk better now and pain free, too. Good luck!

red98vett · 03-26-2007, 01:26 PM

awwww...that little yorkie was in need of some serious TLC and good for you giving it to her. I don't know what to tell you about trying to save her but maybe if you spend some more time with that family you'd get a better idea....as long as they're feeding her properly and she has shelter it's hard to say abuse or no abuse...but if you feel she WAS abused, hen I say do all you can to save her. But...if they're just ignorant about caring for a small dog - maybe you can teach them ?? Either way - you're a good person to be helping her

Mommy of Brandi · 03-26-2007, 06:07 PM

How lucky is Candy that you moved next door.......hopefully things will work out well and either Candy's owner will start taking better care of her.....or you will get her......and you can take care of her......GOOD LUCK in which ever way it works out

Timmy · 03-26-2007, 06:10 PM

Adorable.....The one thing that has failed to be mentioned here or maybe I missed it....have you thought of the lil boy, sounds like he truely loves Candy, but being on the youngish side hasn't been taught, but is willing to learn responsible pet ownership.

xnatalie · 03-26-2007, 06:16 PM

aw what a little cutie

Chrissy0277 · 03-26-2007, 06:57 PM

I think you did good

Hopefully you can educate and help them.

journey826 · 03-27-2007, 08:19 AM

what about the little boy?Hs sounds like he would be heart broken if you were to take/cause her to be removed from the home and would you really want to continue to live next door to people you have hurt? I think you should try to educate the boy on proper care since she is his pet and talk to the mom again about the neds she needs.If all else fails try to buy her if you can take on another pet or call the animal shelter. grooming is secondary to health and she has to get that baby medical care. good luck and she is precious.

yorkieangel · 03-27-2007, 09:33 AM

I was thinking of the little boy also. you said he was asking you questions about how to care for her.

I'm thinking even if the Mom sold her to you the boy would be the one hurt

I agree - Candy is adorable and there's a reason you live next door. You could be a wonderful teacher and role model for showing the little boy to care for her properly. You did do good!!

Mardelin · 03-27-2007, 10:39 AM

Mentioned that in a couple of posts above. The desire to do what is best of Candy must be handled with an effort to not scar or hurt the lil boy....it could be very devistating to him

tangobango · 03-27-2007, 11:13 AM

Great job!!! I agree that the little boy could be key to educating. Maybe buy him a yorkie book to read. That way you can go over the stuff in the book with him and be his mentor. He could become the next yorkie expert. That baby looks wonderful after your TLC!
