Scratching my head....

I agree and there are many senior's that need a home. Sorry but I will always place the dogs best interest over humans when it comes to placement.

People I guess would have to know the situation of these people. many times grown children are so happy their parents get a dog.. that they agree to take them if anything happens to them.. those are things that none of us know..
I do wish you good luck with your search for a yorkie for this couple.. I believe a dog to love makes older people live longer.. anne

Here is the email I got.

I live in Elkhart and I'm retired I'm looking for a yorkie and I thought maybe you would know where I might be able to get one at a decent price my husband and I don't go much and we would like to get a small dog.I'm 71 and he is 75 we both love animals and I think it would be a good thing for us to have.You sound like a person who likes animals so if you could help me out please write me back please.

Hi Missy, I haven't been on for awhile and just came in for a short time and read your posting here. I think this is so wonderful of you to post this for the
couple. I truely hope that they are able to get one.

I read others postings here and I can't help but comment.
To anyone that feels just because someone is 71 and 75. Age is only a number and no one shouldn't be denied the joy of having a puppy or dog to their choosing, it is not a true statement in saying that someone is not capable of having a pet just because they happen to fall in the 70'ish years.

I especially want to say THANK YOU MISSY, for your putting word out to help try to find them one.

We are so thankful for our girls; to those that know Jack and myself we got each of ours as a puppy after it was God's calling our Precious Cassie back unto him. We happen to be in our 70's. Jack has Progressive Parkinsons and our girls are helping him to smile everyday and we are home all the time like this couple mentioned in their email to Missy, ours gives more pleasure to the both of us. I truely hope that they will be able to find a yorkie and again Missy thank you for all that your doing to help them.

I might add that we made arrangements with our daughter prior to our getting our girls that should God call us back to HIM before their calling then she would take them and so they would be well loved and provided for if that happened. Doesn't matter what age a person is this should always be a consideration and priority in getting one, life doesn't hold promises from one day to the next no matter what one's age is. To the couple in Elkhart, Indiana our prayers that God will place in your arms a yorkie that HE would want you to have ENJOY.

Missy, please let Jack and myself know if a yorkie train is started and we can be of help.

Patti and Jack,
Baby Blessing, Dollie Dae and Prairie Bea

Thank you for looking for me, the only thing, Patty wants to be able to meet the people where the yorkie comes from.

My Baby Bear is due in July, Patty wants to get one of her pups, she says she is going to try to save so she can get one. I will make this happen for her

TootiesMom · 06-02-2008, 04:57 PM

Bless YOU! You are such a dear for helping her. Everyone deserves someone like you in their lives!

Scratching my head....

I know this is "off topic" but I agree with you whole heartedly! I have taken LOTS of slack in the past for not allowing my puppies to go to the homes of "elderly couples"... (although I don't believe that 70's are so "elderly")

Don't get me wrong, I believe that EVERYONE should have a furbaby to love if they've got it in their hearts to give and can provide for him/her... but while it doesn't "work both ways" in that "babies need babies"... I do feel that "seniors need seniors" when it comes to bringing in a new dog.

Just my penny's worth...

That's fabulous!! But in all honesty... how well could she have chased after a 2.... or even 6 year old Yorkie, at 108? <<shushing now...>>

ace611 · 06-03-2008, 09:40 AM

how bout lets stop with the negative posts.....this is a positive thing she is trying to do for this couple....lets not ruin it! 70s are still young! and i would have given one of bellas pups to an older couple in a heart beat! they have no kids at home and im sure the pup would be spoiled rotten! if they are researching it obviously they are responsible enough to find someone to care for the pup if it should be their time.....enough said
