| One of the worst days of my life 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. |

| Steve That is terrible!!! I am so sorry. Glad that Basil will make a complete recovery. There is a special place in Hell for those kind of criminals. Don't beat yourself up and don't let the b*****ds get you down. Remember Semper Fi!!!!

| I am so sorry for all the stress you are experiencing right now. Were the burglars caught? Please don't blame yourself for taking your little ones with you. I bet your BIL feels bad about Basil. I hope you will come back soon and let us all know how Carlos is doing and how Basil is getting along, AND how little Maxine is doing. I enjoy reading your posts about them. Take care.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Oh my goodness, I'm so shocked I can't believe this, what a horrible thing to have happened. I'm so sorry for you family now, how can anyone be so cruel to tie up a couple and use a taser on them, and for what? What could be worth doing this? People can be so greedy and heartless; it's just so hard to fathom though. I know you must be so angry, it's horrible to feel like you couldn't protect those you love. I'm so glad no one was permanently injured, and I hope your mother and father-in-law make a full recovery. I'm also glad that little Basil will make a recovery from this. Joey's breeder told us that this is one of the most common injuries, and she had us each practice holding Joey while also holding his front paw. If you are holding the front paw, they won't jump from your arms. Even knowing this, he had a couple of spills. You're brother-in-law must feel pretty bad about this, and I'm praying for your family. Keep your chin up Steve, sometimes stuff happens to good people, and maybe there were more angels helping then you can imagine, it could have been much worse, and I'm so glad the taser didn't work.

| Steve, I'm so shocked at so many bad things happening all at the same time. I'll keep you all in my thoughts and hope for the best for your wife's parents and little Basil. When bad things happen to good people, it seems to happen all at once. You are a wonderful family and little Basil wouldn't trade you for the world.

| I'm so sorry to be reading this Steve. Believe it or not, those bastards are not the only ones who think beating up an elderly man is acceptable. When I was in middle school my house was burglarized. My grandparents and my aunt went into the house in the middle of it, thought the car out in the driveway belonged to a friend or someone. They went in the house and they saw my gpa who at the time was near 90 and started beating him. My aunt froze in fear, and it wasn't till my gma told them hold old he really was that they actually stopped. Send him to the hospital for a few days, they took a bunch of stuff from the house, and were never caught. I really hope your family makes a full recovery. I really don't know what else to say. Sometimes life just isn't fair.

| Steve....sounds like things are overwhelming right now. It is hard to make any sense of what happened to your inlaws other than to say that there is evil in this world. Thankfully they will make a full physical recovery, although the emotional healing may be some time in coming. Basil vet said he will be fine....and understand that accidents happen no matter how careful we are. You heart was in the right place bringing Basil and Maxine with you. I am so happy he will make a full recovery.....he will be up and running very soon. Enjoy the extra cuddle time you will have with him now...it sounds like you could use it too. Take care of yourself and your family, my friend, and we will be here when you feel up to returning. Until then, my prayers will be with you all.

| I know we haven't formerly met, but I've so enjoyed reading your posts. I'm sure as a marine (my son is one, too) you've seen your fair share of heart ache. It's so different when it happens to a family member! Then to have your little baby, Basil hurt while you were trying to be two places at once! 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! |

| OMG Steve where did this happen! Who would be so evil to do something like that to elderly people. I'm glad that everyone is alright and you and Marge were able be there quickly to help. Did they catch whoever did this to them? That is just disgusting. My mom is alone during the day while my sister and BIL work and I always worry about her as well. Then again they have 2 Dobermans to keep watch over Mom. As for Basil accidents happen. My sister's Doberman puppy broke a leg not that long ago too. She went to get up and got it caught in the foot board of the bed. It was about a year ago and she is totally fine now recovering well. You and Marge take excellent care of your dogs and Basil will recover well. I'm sure your BIL feels horrible and didn't mean for this to happen. Try not to be too angry at him.

| My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family, both two and four legged. Don't feel bad about wanting to take your pups with you. I would have done the same thing and I think a lot of people would, thinking it would be the best way to know they were safe. I never like to leave mine home alone. I'll be praying for a fast recovery for everyone and hope you change your mind and come back.. |
