| It's things like this that is causing us all to not go on a vacation without our babies or if we do, we are just worried sick about them. I don't think our babies should be left in the yard unatended for this very reason. If we have to go someplace we can't take them with us, then keep then in the house without access to the outside. Mine are outside as well as wee-wee pad trained for these reasons. |

| Terrible, just terrible! We have to be vigilant around people, we understand the majority are good people, but there's that 20% that we have to be aware of! I just got back home from walking boo bah at the park. This mom and dad with a child, asked if their daughter could hold my dog. I said "No, my puppy is very nervous around people she doesnt know" and kept walking. Also, I made a comment about two days ago that this woman was crossing a major boulevard in Van Nuys, California. This guy, walking fast, as she described, attempted to yank the poor pup from her arms. She managed to kick him and start screaming and scared the perpetrator off. Unfortunately there wasnt a cop around to see this crime. There were a whole crowd watching but no one wanted to get involved. I can defend myself in public, I have never been accosted, thank God, but there is always a first time. Let's keep our eyes and ears open when we are out and about with our little ones! Thanks! The Van Nuys Police headquarters was just 2 blocks away from where this happened!!

| I live not far from York, PA and this story was on our local news channel. WGAL. They were going to give an update on their 6 p.m. newscast but I had a errand to run and didn't get to see it. I hope it's on their newscast again at 11 p.m. I know they have a website, I think it's just www.wgal.com in case you's want to see an update.

| Here is an update on the stolen dogs. Stolen puppies recovered; two adult dogs still missing BROCK PARKER The York Dispatch Article Launched: 08/21/2007 10:53:53 AM EDT Thieves broke into her York City home and stole her seven dogs last week. But Sylvia Grovell said she's recovered five of her dogs, including four puppies, and she's working with police to get the other two. "I hate what they did," Grovell said of the thieves who took her dogs. "I hate what they did to me, and how they made me feel, and what they put my dogs through." Grovell, who lives on West Princess Street, said she discovered someone had broken into her home last Wednesday afternoon after she went to buy a playpen for her four Yorkshire terrier puppies. When she didn't hear barking when she returned home and her key didn't work in her door, she knew something was wrong, Grovell said. Inside her apartment she discovered her puppies and their parents, Sarah and Buster, both Yorkshire terriers, were gone, as was her Yorkshire-Chihuahua mix, Delilah. "They were like my kids," Grovell said. "I was sick. I didn't know what to do. I got myself together and I called my landlord and police right away." But within a day, someone at a local pet store who'd heard about the stolen dogs on television reported that someone had called the store trying to sell four Yorkie pups and an older female Yorkie. Grovell said the man from the pet store told her that three days before her dogs were stolen, a woman called the store, saying she had four Yorkie puppies she wanted to sell. When the dogs were delivered to the pet shop Thursday evening, a worker there took Advertisement the person's name and license-plate number. Then he called Grovell, who drove to the store and claimed her puppies and their mother, Sarah. "I was so happy to get mom and the puppies," Grovell said. But Grovell said the dogs were dirty when she recovered them and the mother of the puppies was shaken up. "I really have to give her a lot of love and care," she said. Grovell said she thinks the people who stole her dogs were two women who recently came to see the puppies on the pretext that they were interested in buying them. Grovell said the women heard about the puppies through her son, and she said she was going to sell the female puppies for $600 and the male puppies for $500. Yorkie puppies can often sell for more than $1,000, Grovell said. "They acted like they were so interested," Grovell said. "I couldn't believe that someone would have the audacity to do something like that." Grovell said she's anxious to recover Buster and Delilah, too. She said the woman who took the dogs to the pet shop told the store worker that she also had an adult male Yorkie she was keeping to breed, as well as a Yorkie-Chihuahua mix. "I know they are not in good hands," she said. "I want them to have happy homes and love."
