Yay for you! Let us know how it goes!!!

It is so awesome you rescued this little one. I hope she is the perfect baby for you. Yorkies are so special and I'm sure she will love you for saving her.

Bless your heart for giving this little girl a chance for a loving filled Life :D cant wait to see more of her !

Hope you are doing ok traveling with the weather...I know today was bad by St. Louis, Oklahoma etc. Cant wait to see your new pictures. I am so happy for you and thank you for what you are doing. She is a very lucky girl!! You make our world such a better place!! Keep us up on her homecoming! Congrats!

We made it home. I will try to get some pics posted soon. We made a trip to the store to buy some goodies and then we came home. She had to sniff the place out and snoop around. She is so skiddish I feel so awful for her and they said she was the outgoing one. But she is getting used to me, she will come to me already. Just a bit ago I took a bath and kept her in the bathroom with me and she was brave enough that she had to stand and watch me, then she would sit back down and when I would go down to rinse off my hair she would jump back up to see where I went. Probably TMI but it was super cute.

Her poor feet are absolutely awful. Her pads are swollen and you can tell that it hurts for her to walk. Until we get to the vet this week is there anything that I can do for her? I know it is from only being in a wire crate and it was hard on her feet.

She did let me put a collar on her and I was able to give her a bath. As long as I kept my hand on her she was fine.

You cannot walk toward her or come up behind her. I have just been lying down or sitting on the floor and holding out my hands until she comes to me - I have been doing that this evening so now she is starting to follow me.

This is going to be quite the journey but it will be so worth it. It already made my heart melt when she jumped up to see where I went in the tub.

I will post some new pics soon. Thank you all for your kind words!

Oh it sounds like you two have accomplished quite a lot for your first meeting and getting acquainted!! I am so happy that she is doing as good as she is with you! Her poor little pads from those darn cages...what to do?....I wonder if rubbing them hurts or would feel good with some type of ointment? Are they broken open? I know a little foot rub was awesome for human feet recovering from a foot surgery...but I do not know the case with the little paws?! Maybe someone will have some good ideas for you. Congratulations on your new little friend!

Congratulations and her paws are extremely sensitive from being on wire only. She will take time to feel confident and your approach sounds perfect. Slowly, slowly, slowly and Elaine and Bettyanne will be a wonderful resource for you. Most mill babies have tremendous trust issues as well as all rescued pups.

Good luck and in time, she will trust and languish in the love you have for her. She deserves it. Warmly, Deborah

BLESS YOU BLESS YOU!!!!! You will be truly blessed for loving this precious baby...
She will bring you joy time and time again....
Good Luck!

Sounds like you are getting acquainted quickly! I love your little story about the tub, just one of many cute incidents to come! CONGRATS!!!

Well done Amber. You are giving a little life a new chance and that is so precious. Best wishes from all of us.

YAY for adopting a mill dog! i too have an ex mill dog. When i brought her home she was so skiddish. She would not come to me or kevin. The slightest movement would send her running!! After about a week she became totally devoted to me. and now a month and a half later she plays with other dogs at the dog park and everything!! She is still very skiddish of new people but hopefully with time we can over come that!

You are truly an angel. Poor baby must have been threw hell and back.
Honey don't use a collar on her. Please get a harness to walk her.
They have very delicate necks and pulling on a collar while walking can
possiblely due harm to her neck (treah). Wishing you just wonderful
loving, happy, funfilled years together. She's beautiful.

Yeah I will be getting a harness. I just put on a small collar to see if she would even let me put anything at all on her. I was just kind of testing the waters.

Good for you. Sounds like the two of you will be best bud's soon enough.
I can't wait to see how she loves being a little princess.

How wonderful to bring a sweet little girl that has been so mistreated into a loving home! She will know you saved her and be your best friend for life! I have been to horrible puppy mills and seen cruelty beyond comprehension. I really wanted to make difference and save them all but one person cannot do it alone. It will take a miracle to save many of these puppy mill victims. These babies have never had a soft bed, toys and especially loving arms to hold them. Not to mention what their little bodies will endure. She is one of the LUCKY ones! Hugs to you and your big heart!:hearts-en
