Love For A Litttle One... Searching For A "Tiny"...

[tiggerr36792]

Dena,

Please excuse me for what I am about to say as I truely don't mean this to be rude or mean in anyway.

First I want to say how very sorry I am for your loss of Baby Natalie.

Secondly here's a few concerns about you wanting another little girl sick or not:

Didn't you have a difficult time paying for Baby Natalie's vet bills and they were paid thru the generosity of quite abit of YT'ers??

How would you care for yet another little girl who could have issues that can lead to yet more vet costs should you have another one with health issues? Surely you can't expect more donations from the generosity of more YT'ers would you??

Ok I hope you take what I have asked as just a few concerns and not as a personal attack. I truely am only saying and asking what I am sure alot of other people are wondering when they see your post. I think alot more people may help you if they had answers to some of these concerns.

Plus the extra expense of an additional dog too as I see you've just added another tiny yesterday and yet are still looking for another...

This is a fair concern.... but I do need to note, that while several YT members did gather together to assist with what amounted to thousands of dollars in vet bills when my Natalie was so sick, and I would NEVER be anything less than truly appreciative.... the amount of donations totaled under 400.00 which was a tiny fraction of what Natalie's bills were in full.

While I was hit quite hard with the reality that my little girl was so suddenly and unexpectedly ill, (since I was told by the "breeder" that she was a perfectly healthy 16 week old pup from healthy parents..... okay, so I was far too trusting... I could see she was malnurished and covered in parasites, but was unaware that her health issues went much deeper...) - yes - I found myself in a bind with regard to how I would come up with the much needed funds on the spot like that..... not to mention, I was sleep deprived, emotional and utterly distraught at the thought of losing her.... but, in the end.... I managed to cover her expenses in order to get her the immediate care that she needed .... Natalie was provided with top quality veterinary care and money was no concern when it came to recommended testing and medical procedures.... I held back nothing when confronted with each Dr's "estimate" and said each time... "whatever it takes to make her well... DO IT!"......

As well, you may trust, that never again will I bring financial matters to this, or any other, forum.

At this point, having experienced what I have.... I am well prepared, just as I said, to care for the little one I'm looking for - regardless of her condition.

I am fully aware of any limitations I may have with regard to financial burden and what I can realistically provide....

In considering a "special needs" pup, I would make certain that ALL of her needs would be met.... if I were unable to do that, I would certainly have to leave her care to the current owner, regardless of the will of my own heart.

As for the recent new addition, yes... I did bring home a little one a couple of days ago.... and she is, and will continue to be, cared for in a manner she has never known in her short life as a "kennel dog"....

Whether I bring one, two... or ten angels into my life - each is welcomed with an abundance of love, devotion, dedication and far beyond the "basic necessities" of quality care.

Good Luck in your search!! Bless your heart, Dena!!

Actually..... it's funny that you'd mention that....

[Yorkiesforever]

Good luck in your search. Our you going to let us know if you find the little girl?

Of course.... if and when a little one comes into my world, she will be the next fur-member of the YT family!

[EmrldShdwQueen]

Dena, this may not be what you're looking for, but I know of a beautiful little girl who is about 7 or 8 months old and weighs right under 3 lbs...she probably won't get much, if any, bigger. She's very healthy though...no issues. She has champion lines and is gorgeous! If you're interested in hearing more about her PM me!

[Susan123]

Good luck in your search. It sounds like you have a very big heart. There are many yorkies that need that special care like you want to give. I'm sure you have already addressed concerns yourself (which is really what matters) If you have the money and inspiration to help a sick puppy, by all means do. We need more people to do that, I wish I could. Please update us as we all followed Natalies journey. Best Wishes.... if I hear of any little one I'll pass it one

I Hope with all my heart you do not find one ever that small .. I would never Wish another ever be born Again that suffered like that. If there were you would be a wonderful caretaker but.. I would NEVER want that to have to happen.

I agree.

Quite honestly, neither would I.... while I would love to care for a precious little one of Natalie's size, I certainly do not support the intentional breeding of such tiny ones...

Again though, they are often born to standard size parents... and often are healthy little ones. Of course, this would be my preference. BUT, if a tiny one should come along who is in need of special medical attention due to any of the dozens of illnesses that can come of one being so small - I would welcome that baby into my world as well.

While it's true that some tinies are healthy little ones. I have never seen a full grown Yorkie under 2 lbs like you are looking for, that did not have serious health problems. The problem with a yorkie like this is not so much that it can get an illness from being so small, the problem is that it is almost always a serious health condition that is causing the dog to be that small and that means a SERIOUS financial and emotional commitment. I wish you the best of luck in finding one this tiny that is healthy but I just don't think it's very likely.
