So am I, Lisa. I know how much you love that jacket. This made me smile, and I'm so happy for Lila, too.

the pictures of the booth looked awesome, hope she sold lots of stuff. Well no phone call or email, so looks like I not's a winner, oh well hope Yorkie Haven won big

And, thank you for your contributions to the raffle!

It does sound like the booth and raffle went well. Can't wait for Ladyjane to rest up so we can get a few more details.

I am totally exhausted and will be posting some pics when I come out of my fog. :) What I will say right now that needs to be said is THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR AWESOME SUPPORT..... we did better this year than we ever have!!! So many of you helped us in so many ways and we SO appreciate it. We can do so much for the pups with this money that we have raised. We are all very excited about it! :)[/QUOTE]

That's great news Linda so happy for you and all the pups that will benefit for all of the hard work.

Congratulations to the Prize Winners !

There is still on other YT member to come forward....... Maybe I should check my messages . . LOL ! :D

Congrats, Lisa!! You totally deserve it!! :)

I am sorry...I am so out of it still and it has been a rough day. I really wanted to get some pics posted but just have not gotten them all together.

There were actually four winners in the raffle. The one person was hesitant to give me her user ID. She said she has not been on for a while. She then said what she *thought* it was...but there is no one by that name. Perhaps she just wants to be anonymous. The other person, I have not asked yet...I had called her and she is supposed to call me back. I will ask if I can share the fact that she won.

As to what is going on here...besides the fact I am still exhausted, there is something horribly sad going on in my home............

Yesterday Gabby was having some issues at the dog show; and then today, she had a seizure. She has been failing for the past few weeks...I honestly had not thought she was going to make the dog show this year. She was having seizures, but I did not know that was what it was for sure since many times it was at night and she would wake me up. She would be on her side and not able to get up and would be barking. I think she would seize and then when it was over, she could not turn back up from being on her side so then she would bark to wake me. I had talked to my vet about it and she said to just watch her...that maybe she was just turning over and was just not able to get back up. She seemed to perk up a couple of days before the dog show, so off she went with us and she did well. It was interesting...in that past two previous years, she would be mostly in her own stroller or carried around by Lisa and another YHR member. This year all she did was bark to be in the stroller with Armani and Pippi. As long as she stayed in there, she was content. As I am typing this, she is laying in her bed with my Armani next to her. Two of our members were visiting today when she had the seizure and we talked and I do know it is time to let her go before she really gets bad. She has had enough in her life and she has had a few good years here with me...I don't want her to get terribly sick and suffer and then leave me. These are the decisions that twist my insides and stomp on my heart; but they have to be made. :( So tomorrow she goes to my vet at 11:00 AM. :( My sweet girl will be whole again .. I hope Sunny D and Sammy will be there for her. :(

I am sorry to bring sad news to this happy thread. I am going to turn it happy again once I have gotten past this. I am going to post some pics of Gabby from the show...and also one of her I took a little while ago. She is in her crate sleeping and Armani is with her sleeping too. I love my pups as they all are so kind to one another.

Oh Linda I am so sorry! Gabby was such a good girl in the stroller and really looked happy to be with you, Armani, and Pippi. Thank you for your selfless act of mercy. I admire your strength and wish Gabby a peaceful night tonight. She will be healed soon and will thank you when you meet her in Heaven. Thank you Linda for making her last days on this Earth full of love.

The first three pics are of Gabby at the show....I believe she enjoyed herself. People really loved Gabby .. she always has attracted attention. The last pic is the one I took a little while ago of her and Armani sleeping together. So sweet. I think he must know she does not feel well...although my pups have always gone in that crate to sleep with her. Who knows...I just know that we all love her so much and this hurts terribly.

Thank you, Carmen. My heart hurts right now. I so hate these things. :( I am going to bed. I hate that I have had to do this on this thread...but I also felt terrible not posting pics of everything. I just don't have it in me today and felt I should let people know what is going on.

God bless you Linda.

Until we meet again seems so long sometimes but a loving owner does what's best to ease a pet's pain.

So sorry, Linda. </3 It's so hard to make those kind of judgement calls -- especially for your best friend and essentially your furry child. I hope she feels better, and hope you get some rest tonight. I'm sure you're probably full of worry and anxiety right now. :-( Sending virtual hugs and smooches to Gabby!

I'm very sorry, Linda. I know your heart is heavy. She is such a beautiful little girl. I pray her night is peaceful. Prayers for a peaceful night for you, too.

Oh my Linda . . . I am so sorry to hear about Gabby. But as we love them more then we love ourselves we do the unselfish thing. We let them be whole again. Gabby run with the others until we see you again. Hugs and puppy kisses Teri and Galen

I read about Gabby on FB it just breaks my heart ((((((hugs))))))) to you during this difficult time.

I was looking and looking to see if the prize winners were posted. I got a call from Linda Sunday, saying I won prize number 13 which was one of the yorkie cookie jars! I so, so wanted that. I was so excited, but was selling my sons car when she called me so I had to go. Linda, I tried to call you today to talk some more, but I understand after reading here you have had a tough time. So sorry to hear about Gabby. I hope things go well for you. I'll try to call you tomorrow, or in the next couple days. Thanks for letting me know.

Linda,
My heart hurts for you and all of your pups. Peace be to you all.

Oh, Linda I am so very, very sorry about Gabby. Thank you for giving her the past few happy years. I cannot imagine how you must feel right now. I know my heart is breaking.

Congratulations on winning the cookie jar and all the stuff that went with it!

This thread is such a roller coaster right now with happiness, such as people winning prizes, and sadness with the news of Gabby. But, I wanted to make sure you knew that we love hearing that you won the cookie jar and that you really wanted it. Thanks for supporting YHR!

Oh Linda, I'm so sorry about Gabby. My heart is breaking for you. Hugs to you both.

Congratulations to the winners...

Oh my, sweet little Gabby. I'm so sorry Linda. Sammy and Sunny D will be waiting to play with her again.

Congrats to all the winners

I'm very sorry, Linda. Gabby has known such love and devotion from you. I know how difficult it is to give her up, but you are doing it became you love her so. My heart is with you.

Congratulations to all the winners!!

Linda - so sorry to hear what you are going thru. Sending prayers and hugs to you both.

I am so sorry to hear about Gabby, keeping you both in my thought and hoping for some encouraging news from the vet today.

Gabby...

I have always felt lucky and privileged that I was able to meet Gabby in person. She is such a sweet soul and loved being in the middle of things.

This picture is from the 2011 Houston show. She is the cutie in the back, with her friends in the front. See how she has her head up making sure she knows what is happening? And her adoring eyes followed Linda's every movement.

Hugs Linda. Again, I am so very sorry about Gabby's illness and difficulties.
