I wanted to grab him up so bad and forget the whole deal...He looked back at me from the car window all the way to the end of the street...
He was given away, not sold, there was no amount of money to compensate for his worth to me. (I do not sell retirees)...but I also do not give them to just anyone.
Six months later he came for a visit...he pranced in the door like the king he was, jumped in my lap and gave me lots of kisses..when it was time to go, Josie got up and walked the door...Chopper jumped down and ran to this mother very excited..he got his coat on, walked out the door, never looking back at me...in the car he sat on Josie's lap looking straight ahead, because he knew he was going home with his mother...
I am ever so grateful to Josie for all she has done for my boy. He is walked twice a day like clockwork...something I could never do. If Josie can not get home at lunch she has the pet nanny walk him... He is very old now(15)...and at 10 Josie spent a fortune saving his teeth..I told her it was okay to have the loose ones pulled..old Yorkies lose teeth, but she took him to a doggie dentist for treatments to keep his teeth as long as possible.
When I think about Chopper, I have the warmest feelings..I have done all I can for a very special boy who made a dream a reality for me...he is gold in my eyes. | That really brought tears to my eyes... <3 |
