I would be willing to drive him from Illinois to you.

Tater Jack would probably be perfect for him since he is going to be a bigger Yorkie. Do they have money for vet bills for him, though? I want him in a situation where he will be well looked after and taken care of. If so, I'd be willing to donate part of the $300 that Tater Jack costs to help this child get a Yorkie.

I just reread the original post and it looks like this family does have the means to take proper care of Tater Jack. I can take him to Indy if someone else can pick him up from there and transport him to another stop on the "Yorkie Railroad."

Hi, I have a beautiful male yorkie that I will sell for 400.00, He will be 3 December 27th.........He is a cuddle bug, very sweet and quite. I would love to keep him, but I am getting into showing and have too many pets. Email butterfly70814@yahoo.com for pictures if your interested..............I am in Baton Rouge, LA so we would need to figure out a way to get him there should Chris want him..........Its getting cold for shipping and Rowdy has been away from us only long enough to be at the groomers.

Update
 

Hi everyone! I am so so so excited about all of these positive responses you all have given. This is a truly remarkable little boy, and I can't thank you enough for all of your support and encouragement.

I just spoke with one of Chris's closest friends and she said he was doing well, but still in the hopital. He had some leakage from the major surgery to put metal rods in along his spine to try and straighten his back. We are not sure how much longer he will have to remain in the hospital, but are keeping our hopes high with a quick and easy recovery.

I have left messages for Chris regarding the Yorkie Pup's that you all have so generously offered at low costs. I hope to hear back from him soon!!!! I can't wait to see how excited he will be to see that we have worked together to bring him a beautiful Yorkie.

To everyone who has responded to my thread:
I will post any information regarding Chris's son and updates on the situation with the puppies. I will give him the numbers and emails of all the people who have so graciously put out offers. I will also PM you to give further details.

Thank you again to everyone who has been so kind! YT's are remarkable people, and our Yorkie's bring endless joy to all of our lives!

R,
Ashley

Update on Kellen 10/27/05
 

New Update. Chris is coming back to work today, hopefully! So Carolyn and I are so excited to discuss the details further with him regarding Tater Jack! Carolyn was able to get in touch with him yesterday, but was only able to speak with him briefly. He seemed really excited, but was a little out of it w/ all the pressures and issues surrounding his son, Kellen, and his surgery (as they were still at the hospital). The good news is that Chris coming back to work means that Kellen is doing well and is strong. We are not sure if he talked about Tater with his son, we left the suprising up to him! I will post again later as soon as I hear from Chris. I'm so excited to show him a pic of Tater Jack and let him know about all of the wonderful people (especially Andy and Elizabeth!!! :love: ) who have so graciously offered their condolences, support and help with this matter. We are so excited for Kellen's big suprise!!!!!! Thanks again to everyone who has been a part of this. YT is truly filled with an amazing group of people. I'm so happy and lucky to be a part of this.

P.S. - For those of you who haven't seen Tater Jack, I have attached a pic. I'm pretty sure this is Tater. I got it from one of Elizabeth's postings of all her pups, and I think this one is Tater.

Sincerely,
Ashley :aimeeyork

Tater Jack is just too cute for words!!

That's Peanut! Here's Tater Jack! He's the one on the left.

Oh..you know they are all so cute...so any yorkie pic you put up we will OOH and AHH!! lol...But peanut and tater are both adorable!

This is the first time I've seen this thread and it is truly a work of God. :angel2dl: YT members are really amazing.. It brought tears to my eyes when I read Kellen's story and I am so blown away at everyones generosity. Send my best to Kellen and his family. They will be in my prayers.

Those puppy pictures are so cute.

Last week on one of the forums there were several links to Yorkie and crosses for placement as rescues. So many of the rescues are fostered in diferent states and there might be one near you.
I just gave away a little choc Yorkie 3 weeks ago. He is healing a broken heart of a family who lost their lhaso.
There will be a perfect match really soon. God answers our prayers!!

I have a handicapped child
 

hi
I have a daughter that is handicapped she is much like a 3 year old, but is
27 and one of our yorkies Harlea is her best friend. Harlea has been great with Leslie, Harlea seems to know whats going on with Leslie and runs to kiss her all the time
Leslies Dr filled out the paper work so Harlea is Leslies service dog and can go any where with Leslie,
Harlea helps to keep Leslie happy in stores and she seems to know if Leslie
is going to have one of her little fits. Harlea goes rrurrurrrruuuu, and we know what that means time to leave to store we have about 15 mins.............lol
I think yorkies for kids like Leslie is a great thing..
thanks Lynda

I'm so happy your daughter, Leslie has Harlea as her special Yorkie. I've read on many Yorkie forums about these super Yorkies that have the ability to sense when an individual is going to have an 'epoisode.' Harlea must be a ray of sunshine in your daughteer's life with all those Yorkie kisses.
Thanks for sharing.
Jessica

Your doughter's story is so touching, so very glad she has her best bud :>)
