Did you post a thread about your sick puppy in the sick and injured thread? You might want to try that section to get responses from people who have had experience with what is wrong with your puppy. I hope that he gets better soon!!

Hullo everyone~
Sorry I've been away for so very long...my Dad passed away May 20th. I stayed in hospice with him for about a week beforehand. I feel ok about it though. He was a good man, and wil be sorely missed, but we did have time to reminisce and to say goodbye.
He was at Stein Hospice in Firelands Hospital in Sandusky, Ohio.
Cordell laid on his bed with him for the last two days, not even getting up when I would get up from my chair. He knew, and wanted Dad to have that comfort.
While we were there, my husband got a voice mail message from his employer here in Indiana, stating that while he understood about family and such things, his business was lacking, so he needed to lay him off. (Wasn't that nice of him?)
Anyhoo~ I have been working boatloads of overtime trying to get caught up on bills and such, and I think I have finally made a dent! Thank You, God!
We have the pool up, haven't added shock to it yet, or had the pump running (like adorame), but these silly children of mine have climbed in! LOL! I don't mind, but these old bones of mine are to apt to get cold! LOL!
DD#2 is ready to pop any day with grandchild (due June 25th they say) and DD#3 will be ready August 4th in Colorado. We want to go, but just don't see how it will be possible. Gas is rediculous around here! (Well, everywhere, I imagine.)
And before I write a book, I will go.
Hope someone comes back before too long!
Lisa~ thanks for all the cute little graphics on my page!

Littlelady - You asked about the thread and the social group. I think Tatertot (Ashley) set up the group so we could continue talking, even if this thread ended. From what I can tell, another difference is this thread causes your post count to go up, but I do not think that happens in the social group. It has been great getting to know people in both areas. :)

My bad news for the afternoon is that my daughter just called and said her furbaby cannot stand up. He is shaking. I told her to go straight to the vet or if they close, go to the emergency clinic at 6:00. Not sure what the problem might be, but she thinks he might have eaten a macadamia nut. Are those poisonous? I cannot meet her because I have to go to a funeral service. She was going to go with us also. So I am getting to leave for the service and I am so worried about him. Say a little prayer for him. There is a picture of him and Piccolo in my album. Thanks....

Hello all our OIK friends! Hope everyone had a great Wednesday. I was just thinking about all the YT members going to the meet-up in Kansas City. Wish we could go. Has anyone ever been to something like that? Can you imagine all the Yorkies in one place? Can't wait to see the pictures.

I had my mother move in with us in August of 2001 she was diagnosed with lung cancer in DEcember and she passed away May 7th 2002. I had the task of taking care of everything for her. I am still getting threatening letters trying to sue for bills, my dad had divorced her and she owned only a few belongings on her person and nothing else. Then in 2003 my Granfather had fallen in his bathroom and laid there for 8 hours before his neighbors noted something was wrong, they called ambulance and the hosptil in the quad city didn't do anything and sent him home in the care of his neighbors, I got a call and drove 4 hours to find him breathing very hard and I took him home to Indiana and I had to get Guardianship of him and I took care of him until he began exhibiting aggressive behavior associated with Alzheimers. After having to put him in a Nursing home he passed awy with in 5 months. He blamed me for all his anguish. He couldn't even remember my name. He was the gentalist man all my life it was the most difficult thing I ever had to go through. I couldn't even visit him or I stirred him up so he got uncontrollable. He didn't own anything except a few pieces of furniture. He was a WWII vet and he had no money in the bank but because I could not provide a bank statement from the illinois bank he had an acocunt with 2 1/2 years before I applied he was denied medicaid. I get threatening letters every time I turn around for his medical bills. I wish you could sue the system when it denies service for stupid reasons. I could provide info were we had the money transfered from his illinois account to start his new account in Indiana. They absolutely needed a bank statement with a zero balance. Getting ahold of the bank didn't help they had closed out all old accounts they sent something to the Medicaid office but of course they said they never got it.
I made sure he was buried in the Rock Island Arsenal cemetary where My Grandmother was already buried.
I miss them terribly.

No news with Piccolo and myself today. I am getting ready to clean, which means Piccolo is getting ready to hide. She is scared of the vacuum cleaner! :eek:

How exciting adorame!! I baby on the way...my sister is pregnant and due in September!! Its exciting!!

Question for everyone: Me and DH are wanting to get a female, but all of our breeders parent yorkies are related to Bandit in some way....Bandit's daddy and grandpa is a very popular stud since they are champions so does anyone else know a good breeder that I can get one from around the same price as Lynn's?? We are wanting the female around my Birthday which is in September.

Zoey101 - Sorry about the fleas. Hope it gets better.

Adorame - How did the shopping go today?

Chimicole - Have fun camping! :)

Piccolo's favorite dog sitter is coming tomorrow. His name is Robby and he spoils Piccolo rotten. He even sleeps on the couch with her. We are going out of town for the night. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

OMG I just got back from seeing my little girl!! What a long day!!We left at 4 in the morning because my hubby got off work at 3pm. We stopped to eat and made it to the breeders at 8:45. I couldn't decide yet but I placed a down payment to hold a girl, I still get first pick, just she will wait till I choose my girl before she lets any one else pick a girl, We have a clue to wich one but we would like to see her in a few weeks. My husband fell in love with a little guy who was playing peek a boo with him outside. She told us that the family that were going to take him home can't take him now and my Husband asked her if we could think about getting him too. We have a few day's to decide and if the ride home was any indication of anything then I will be going back next weekend to bring this boy home too!! My husband couldn't stop talking about this little boy:p So I will have 3 babies:D ( My girl is just 2 weeks old, this boy is 4 months now) I have not got a picture of the little dude but I will be posting pictures of the girls later.

I hope that you all have a great day!

We came back from camping today.... it was good. Had fun, and even though it rained yesterday (and last night), it was a blast.
It was the first time in over 3 months, my fasting blood sugar was under 100!!! WOOHOO!!! Cordell was something else too.
Hubby carried me across the creek on his back so I wouldn't get wet and cold in the water (cause we saw a skeleton over on the other side, and being the weirdo that I am, I had to go see it). We left Cordy in the more than capable hands of our daughter, who walked him back up to the campsite, and put him down, only to hear a splash and where is my Cordy? In that freezing water swimming to the other side of the creek to get to his Mommy!:eek: Silly boy... he was no worse for the wear, but he sure gave me a fright! LOL!
Guess he just didn't know why Mommy was on the other side, and he couldn't go too!

That's what dh says... he calls him my "little protector" now. Says Cordy wanted to get to me cause he didn't know why Daddy carried me away! Hahaha!
