| Marie, When I spoke to you on the phone Thursday about Ray I asked you specifically if you had puppies right now and you told me that you did not and only breed occasionally. Why do you have this ad up if you do not have or had puppies recently? Breeders.NET I am very sad by all of the events that have happened relating to your post. I believed you when you called me and said that he was turned over to you and you now needed help. It wasn't until I took a look at the Hoobly.com site that I became very concerned. Like I told you on the phone, I recognized your name because we had spoke quite a few years ago when I was first looking for a Yorkie puppy. I am not sure what is really going on with the puppy but I have seen his pictures and he looks very sick. I personally have 2 theories about this puppy and neither is good. Either he is your puppy and something happened to him or he was released to your daughter from the ER vet that she works with because his original owners couldn't care for him and were considering PTS. If my second theory is correct, your daughter got in over her head and I can understand that because I have children about her age too. That should be put behind you and someone needs to step up here and just do the right thing for him. Regardless of what the entire story really is, either you or our daughter has now taken on the responsibility for him and if that mean turning him over to a rescue for care then that is what needs to be done. I do not think I have judged you but now I am questioning MY judgment for wanting to believe what was said to me.

Sorry I missed your post. I am getting ready to go out of town for a few days. Hubby brought it up at the last minute. LOL You will love Valpo! I will be sad to move from here, but we are planning to move to S. IL, because our only son and his wife, and our twin grandsons live there, and we just miss them too much! We had been planning to make the move next year, but our Agent called my Hubby today and said the interest rates are going to drop to 4.5% in the next few months, so it would be a good time for a Buyer to afford our home. The very best Vets in the entire area are: Dr. Larry McAfee and Dr. Steve Violanti. They are the co-owners of McAfee Animal Hospital. I'm sure all the other Vets are very good, but these are the two that have always taken care of my girls. Dr. Larry is also my Wildlife Vet. This is a link to their site: Welcome to the McAfee Animal Hospital Sheila | |

The only thing I can address is, yes, Marie e-mailed me at 1:32 in the morning, Saturday, and told me about her MIL, and asked if we could get Little Ray in to Dr. Larry earlier; Monday or Tuesday. I replied at 5:33 in the morning, that Dr. Larry only works a few days in the office and Thursday is his only day that he sees patients. I also stated that I needed to know, if she could still go to an appointment on Thursday and if so, I needed to know by noon, Saturday, at the latest, in order to schedule the appointment. I then, sent a second e-mail and assured Marie, that with all that is happening, if she didn't feel she could make the trip to Valparaiso, that I would not be upset if she wanted to turn Little Ray over to Rescue. I lost both of my parents, 9 months apart, and I know what it is like to spend your life at the hospital, over-seeing their care, and discussing it with their doctors. I called at 10:00 A.M. Saturday and left a voice-mail and asked if she would please let me know before noon. Dr. Larry is in the office 3 days a week. Two days he is in surgery. He sees patients just one day a week, and his day books up FAST. As it was, Dr. Larry wanted me to book the appointment when I spoke with him last Thursday. With all of this said, I couldn't get an appointment now for this week Thursday, if I tried. And this afternoon, my Hubby decided we are going out-of-town for a few days. We are leaving tomorrow late morning. | |

I forgot to say thank you for saying you hope I am able to adopt this little guy. Marie was busy with a family crisis, so she did not get back to me in time to make the appointment with Dr. Larry for this Thursday. So, I don't know what is happening with him right now. I'm curious to know if a Chiropractor can manaipulate the disc back into place. I'm puzzled by the fact that this was an option, but also surgery is an option. But, I will admit, I am not an expert and I would need Dr. Larry to confirm that it could safely be manipulated back into place, by a Chiropractor. My Chiropractor is willing to teach me to work on him, for free. We are going out to the Dunes for a few days of R & R. But I will be back at the end of the week, and see if anyone has heard anything. Several members of a Rescue have wanted to help. Jodi was willing to drive with Marie out to my Vet. Sheila | |
