You all are so kind. I am just one of many who save these pups on a daily basis. It is something I believe I was meant to do. When I retired I was lost and this has fulfilled me.

I have always been a caretaker having been raised in a family of health care workers.....when I worked I cared for people...now I am caring for the pups.

As I have said many times, I am not really special...it is what I believe God intended for me. We all have our own missions in life.

BlueBelle · 01-28-2012, 08:46 AM

We all thank God for you. You're the best!!

Summer will be going to her furever home tomorrow!!!! It will be a sad day for me and for my pups, but I am SO excited for her.
She will have a little fur brother to play with. While with me, Summer has played daily with my boys. She is not much for the girls....little flirt that she is.

I am so sure all will be great for her...but please keep her in your thoughts and prayers that she adjusts well and her new brother loves her as much as my boys do.

What GREAT news!!! I'm so glad to hear this!

yorkietalkjilly · 01-25-2013, 08:07 PM

Awww....here's prayers and hopes for little Summer and that she will delight in her new home and all there will love her. I know very well it will be a sad day for you, nevertheless, because you will miss her so.

We will never know for sure if the owner was the one who surrendered her or if her story was true and this was a stray. Personally, I think it was the owner. The story is that this yorkie was attacked by a doberman. It happened on Saturday and she contacted AC yesterday. She said her daughter had saved the pup...suppose it is possible. I would think that if that were true, someone would have called the police to report it?? Who knows.

Anyway....her name is Summer and she was in an extreme amount of pain and had a temp of 104 when she got to my vet today. Her wounds are just disgusting looking and the smell was like that of rotting flesh. I still have it in my nose. So terribly sad and in spite of that the little darling was wagging her tail at my vet.

She has a large wound on her throat...luckily the trachea was not touched...and one on the inner aspect of her left hind leg. Xrays did show pleural effusion most likely from being shaken by the other dog. She does have bruising. It is unreal that this little one survived.

I just went to visit her before they closed. She is on IV fluids and has antibiotics on board and also is being medicated with Bupranex for pain. They will evaluate her in the AM and make a decision then about doing a debridement. It must be done, but they may want to hold off another day. They may want to keep her on antibiotics a bit longer before doing it.

She did eat a tiny bit of food when I offered it to her on a spoon. She is very weak and thin....every rib and her spine shows.

Just heartbreaking. She weighs 5.5 and probably should be about 7.5 .

I am posting this with the hopes that it will help someone in the future. Dog bites can be extremely dangerous to little dogs. Infections almost always set in. When dogs are bitten by other dogs they must be seen by a vet!

WARNING: Pictures are extremely graphic.

OMG how horrible!! Poor little darling. I am Praying for her..

yorkietalkjilly · 01-25-2013, 08:13 PM

Wow, this girl has come so far and had an excellent care plan, no doubt. I couldn't read much without losing it so stopped when I'd gotten the picture. It is amazing this girl is alive and going to a new life. Thank you for all your work, Linda. Amazing job and YHR is an amazing organization.

LILBIT1 · 01-25-2013, 08:46 PM

Poor baby. She's beautiful. Hope she heals up ok.

MauiGirl · 01-25-2013, 09:33 PM

Wow, it has been a year and a half since this thread was started, and such a long journey for Summer.

I'm sending my thoughts and prayers that her new home is wonderful and that she continues to get the love that she has become used to while staying with LadyJane (Linda) and her gang.

Linda, is there any chance we can see one more picture of Summer before she goes? It has been amazing following her progress.

1kumiko · 01-26-2013, 02:09 AM

Poor baby. So but so lucky
I almost got a heart attack when my neightbor's two 95-pound Rottweilers went after my tiny dog IN my property. To my luck a good men stop the attack. Sadly, the owner of those dogs was as bitchy as her dogs-- she yelled when I presented vet bill. I didn't get a refund, but at least got Animal Control on her for leaving her dogs run free.

Hope she recovers

A beautiful post, MauiGirl, about the little girl we all held so close to our heart when she came into rescue with so many medical problems. Ditto here.

Congrats Linda and Summer on a wonderful adoption. I am thrilled for you both.

TxVicki · 01-26-2013, 05:17 AM

AWWWWWW Linda this is such WONDERFUL news for Summer. I am glad that she has found her forever home.

Summer looks just wonderful. She had such great care and love while you helped her recover from the awful things that happened to her. She knows what love is and she will take that with her to her new home.

MishyMish · 01-26-2013, 06:11 AM

Since this thread is so long... are there any updated pics? The original story was just horrible. Was she used in a dog fight or something?

BabyGirl Rosie · 01-26-2013, 08:50 AM
