Introducing...the Bug - Page 4 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Last but not least...this is Ness (short for Nestle)...she is my westie girl. No trauma history here! She is happy and healthy. We planned for years to get a westie, and when we did, we got her from a good breeder who kept her with her mommy until she was 11 weeks old...she's all d.o.g. She and Ollie are play buddies which works out really well because they keep each other busy, and therefore, leave Bug alone! (don't worry, she's much happier in my lap than having them running around her like lunatics!)

Ness is another cutie, sounds like you have a house full of love with three furbabies to keep you amused.

You will love it here.
And thanks to you, Little Bug has a nice life now!!!
And thin hair, well isn't that why we have pretty dresses and sweaters???

I love this response! So true!! I haven't been dressing her lately because I'm afraid the clothes will rub what little hair she has off, but if it turns out that this is just how she's going to look from now on, I'll be outfitting her like a queen...couture all the way baby! I've already been eyeing the websites of a couple of YT'ers who make custom tiny clothes.

All your babies are beautiful. What a great family! They are so lucky to have you. I teared up to Bug's story! She is a sweet cute bug! So glad you introduced yourself and everyone. Welcome to YT!

KathyinCali · 02-11-2008, 10:54 AM

I just want to hug her and give her kisses. What a precious girl...

Sookie · 02-11-2008, 10:58 AM

She's adorable in my opinion. I think you're wonderful to give her such a happy home.

He was 3 days old when my daughter got him from a girl who thought it would be "fun" to raise a kitten...so she somehow got her hands on a brand new newborn kitten and didn't even know how to feed him! My daughter nursed him for 5 weeks until he was strong enough to come live with me (she is in college in Chapel Hill).

I'll have to post some pics of him too when I figure out how...he's a hoot.

(I just saw the manage attachement button...I'll try it...lol...what a ditz I am sometimes...if this works it's a pic of Bug at her best 1 year ago)

Oh i think she is jsut beautiful what a little doll baby and god bless you for saving that sweet little girl she is truely blessed that she has found you.

Hugs
Mary

Welcome to you and your fur-crew

I think Bug is so pretty, and I sure hope that the vets can figure out what's going on with her so you can hopefully fix it

Have they checked her thyroid function? I know it can cause malabsorbtion and hair loss in humans, but dont' know about doggies.

Deenie · 02-11-2008, 12:38 PM

she is a cutie pie and she looks very well loved (((hugs)))

Betty'sMom · 02-11-2008, 12:39 PM

Well, I'm crying buckets...I think it's my new hobby these days. I just love how Bug looks. She's a sweet angel. I hope you stay and keep us updated on her and, of course, show her off wearing her beautiful outfits!

I've already fallen in love with her. (hugs)

Yes, her thyroid has been checked about once a year since we took her in, and it always comes back well within normal limits. The only test that ever came back anything but perfect was one time when her BUN was like one digit high, but it was normal again on re-testing. Liver function is also fine. All of which is pretty amazing considering she was the product of careless and irresponsible breeding practices.

We did try her on cortizone about a year ago, but it didn't help her gain weight, and it made her incontinent. Poor girl would be sitting next to me, and suddenly lose control of her bladder...she looked mortified!

Since there were no benefits to outweigh the negative side-effects, I weaned her off of it.

We are very glad to have you and all of your furrbabies here on YT! Welcome! I think she is cute! Tina (my runt of a yorkie) loses her hair sometimes. Just recently she has scratched her head enough that she has a bald spot but long bangs and long hair everywhere else! Kind of like a Friar Tuck 'do. But we love her anyway!

Search for go.fetch on YT. You will find amazing outfits for your little girl!

chattiesmom · 02-11-2008, 12:48 PM

Your little Bug is a beauty. It might be that most of her beauty is hidden deep inside a troubled little heart, but it is there. I am so very sorry that her hair loss is such a puzzle -- I know it must be frustrating.

Thank you for sharing little Bug's story.
