As much as the world sometimes tries to beat it out of us, the genuine humanity of good people is something that doesn't die easily. I see it in how you rushed to comfort your inlaws, I see it in how you took care of Basil and didn't go postal on the brother-in-law, and I see it in how you let us share in your anger and grief and updated us with a picture of the sweet pup whose back you had in a crisis.

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.

(I'll take care of all the women while you're gone) :p

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.

Call this morning that Marge's parents home was broken into. They were handcuffed, and thrown around. The 2 crooks got nothing. Marge and I were there after the police called. They are ok, but her Dad has a lot of cuts on his wrists from the handcuffs and is sore.

Since we left the dogs alone, I felt guilty tonight as we went to visit her parents at her sisters house and said lets bring Basil and Maxine. To make a long story short, My Brother in Law picked Basil up and Basil jumped out of his arms breaking his right front leg between the elbow and angle. No growth plate was damaged. Marge is still at the Hospital as they are going to cast the leg for a month. I had to drop off Maxine and let Carlo out, and will be heading back to get them soon. The Vet specialist said in 6 months we will not know what leg was broken. He should make a full recovery. While I want to beat the hell out of my Brother in Law, I realize that accidents happen, but I blame myself for taking them. I also blame the damn b urglers that abuse 86 year old people for this too as we would be home tonight with the dogs. I think I am done with any new dogs. Carlo is old and ill, Maxine is old, and now little Basil is hurt, besides in laws almost dying. They tried to taser my Father in law 3 times but it did not work He has prong marks in his neck. Maybe I am just getting old. We will make sure Basil has the best, but no more little dogs, no more dogs after this. I will not be spending much time here anymore, I am just not feeling like it. I wish you all the best.

Leave it to Basil to look good in a cast. I hope today has been better for you, too. I hope the little guy is doing ok with his cast.

Basil is up and about, and finally eating. He is getting used to the Cast. You can tell he keeps looking at us wondering why am I in this X-Pen and not out with you guys. This will be a long month. Will take him back and have his leg looked at this week, then next week an X-Ray, the following week a look at it at the hospita, and at week 4, another X-Ray and hopelly the cast will come off. He may need a soft cast thought for a few weeks, but the vet is very confident it will heal just fine and no growth plates were involved. I have seen a ton of suffering in the early part of my life, but you take a whole different approach to events when older compared to when you are 18 or 19.

In-Laws are better today. Marge went over their this morning for 4 hours to clean the place and help out, and her sister is picking them up for sinner since she lives close to them.

Thank you for all the well wishes. We still feel terrible, and I did call my Brother in Law and told him it was not really his fault, and that I will not be killing him. It was hard to get those words out. He does feel real bad, and from this day on, no one but Marge and I will hold Maxine and Basil[
