OMG I am so sorry all of this happened. It is not right what was done to your family, sending prayers for all of you.
Little Basil I am so sorry your leg is broken, it's not easy but he will recover and be himself again real soon. Been there with a broken leg and surgery to repair it so i know what you are going through. If you need any advice or have questions on dealing with the recovery please let me know.

LDandPasquale · 03-26-2011, 03:45 AM

Steve!!! How horrible! I hope they find who did this to your in-laws, throw them in jail, and throw away the key!! I dont understand how people can be so cruel. You and Marge are wonderful parents to your little ones. Dont ever live your life on the "what if's". I know Basil will have a full recovery because you are caring for him.

Please dont ever leave YT, we love having you here...and besides...WE CANT BE LEFT ALONE WITH MIKE!!!!!!!!!

My prayers and thoughts are with your entire family.

Don't leave....over the last few weeks I have enjoyed your pics & posts, & would sorely miss them. Basil & Maxine are two of my favorites here on YT, & I'm so sorry to hear he is hurting. I hope they catch those thugs, & Basil recovers fine.

Thoughts & prayers to you & your family.

YT needs you, Steve. Take all the time you need but know there's always a place for your caring nature, your wit and your wisdom.

This is so beautifully put and so very true. I showed John the photo of Basil and I thought his heart would melt. Your little one will be whole again and lead a charmed life because of you and Marge. I am so sorry that this happened to you, your in laws, and your baby. You bring so much to the lives you touch, and they are better for having you in their lives. Try not to stay away too long. You will be missed.

Please don't give up on YT. We are a GREAT support group and people do care even if you've never heard from them before! My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless and Semper Fi!

Wishing all the best. Can't even imagine.

This is awful Steve I hope little Basil gets better soon. You and your family surely do not deserve this. How awful for those crooks they deserve to be put in prison or better yet death penalty them for terrorizing elderly people. You have had enough stuff going on with your life so I pray everything goes well for you. Give little Basil a hug from my little Kinder. My husband and I think of all the things that can happen and we try to care for our little Kinder and the two parrots we have had for 24 years and thirty some years for the other. Last year our two parrots were in and out with colds in their air sacs. Well hope all goes well and glad nobody got hurt seriously except for little Basil. Take care of. Susan

I'm so sorry so many bad things happened. When you said ~ bad day; I didn't realize how bad it could get.

Prayers for you and your family that all will be well and you can put that terrible day behind you.

ArmaniMan · 03-26-2011, 06:19 AM

Just seeing this- I am so sorry to hear about Basil- but yes accidents happen.

One of my parents toy poodles broke their leg when they were like 12 weeks old- it was only 3 days after my parents had brought her home. She was in a cast for about 6 weeks- but she healed perfect. She is about to turn 5 and you would never know she had an injury when she was a pup. The vet had said at the time- that puppies heal so quickly. Even with the cast on, she would just run around on three legs like nothing was wrong.

Give Basil lots of kisses and hugs from his YT family and I am sure all will be well in no time.

susan lynn · 03-26-2011, 06:32 AM

Sad to hear the horrible things that happened to your in laws. There are such horrible crimes going on now. I live near Atlanta and we have had several home invasions on elderly people. I hope they catch the ones who did this and they are punished to the full extent of the law. It is terrible that on top of this tragedy little Basil had to get hurt. He looks like he is doing ok. I know this is heartbreaking for you but I really enjoy reading your post and hopefully when you think it over you will reconsider about leaving YT. From what I have seen there are a lot of people here that love you and Marge and your babies. I am always telling people about the guy on YT that has a Great Dane and 2 little Yorkies. My prayers are with Marge and her parents and also with you and Basil and the entire family.

boopster · 03-26-2011, 06:40 AM

Steve,

I've been in your shoes - almost. In my case I had an aging dad who took a fall through a screen door and had some serious injuries, while one of my cats was battling cancer and my other cat and dog were both up there in years. I know the near bipolar effect of having hope one minute just to have it come crashing down with a new piece of bad news.

I have been amazed at how positive you have sounded all along, and that you even had the energy to be so supportive of other YT people. You have every right to feel the way you do. I just hope that with a little distance from all these stresses and a lot of rest, you will feel better and be ready to jump back in to the YT world. You are a class act and I will miss you while you are taking a break.

Don't forget that you have a built- in support network here when you need it!

Glad to hear you are home...sometimes that alone makes the world seem brighter.

Hoping today brings some sunshine into your life. Sending prayers and hugs to your family for healing all around.

Little Basil looks sweet just sleeping in his crate.....I think you will be surprised at how fast he is up and moving around with that cast!

Sammy Mommy · 03-26-2011, 07:14 AM

How awful that someone would do that to your in-laws!!! They should rot in hell for what they did. Poor Basil! It was an accident and he will be fine. Please don't leave YT-too many people would miss you here!!!!! Sending prayers, good wishes and hugs to your family and pups!!!

Connie · 03-26-2011, 07:29 AM

What a terrible ordeal for your in-laws to go through, and no elderly person should have to go through that fear. PTL that they are still here, and I hope and pray the fear doesn't stay with them. Poor people...makes me sick to hear this. Best wishes for little Basil...for a complete and full recovery.
