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.

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.
