There's no such thing as "just a little dog"......they are very important family members too! Last year, my wife and I questioned our sanity for gambling on some fairly expensive surgery for our little walking partner, Annie. Thankfully, the surgery was a success and she made a complete recovery. I understand, Pam and your pooch is included with the rest of my prayer people!

I still miss mine so badly, I hate myself for
having to give them up & I believe that is why I got so sick as I just have not been able
to get over not having them anymore. (even though it was Billy that caused it)
The hard part is I have no idea if they are still
together or were split up. That is what is killing me everyday. I know I should let it go, but can't they were my kids. I never thought I would lose them again after working so hard to get them back, but, I no they are better off.
They will never understand.
I hope all goes well with your baby.

Thank you all so much.
I love that little dog so very much as much as my kids or my sister and mom. She is my little baby.
Charlie is HOME!!!!! I just got back from the vets with her. Thank god it was not her heart.
Charlie is a pomerian a small one. When I got her she was 3 months old and weighed 1.5 pounds. I knew she'd be tiny. I do beleive she was a puppy mill baby. I got her from a pet store that was one of my customers.
I'd only been back in Ct for a few months working at a newspaper. Just moved into my own apartment after living with a good friend until I could save up the security deposit. This was just 2 years after my divorce and losing my house along with a bankrupty. maryiln I lost all my animals after I lost my house. I tried to find them homes but it was difficult. I will never forget how devestating it was when I dropped my little dog off at the humane society. I sat in the parking lot for an hour sobbing. I know how you feel and I feel your pain when I heard you had to take your babys away.
I called the humane society next day to check on the dog I had to let go and the very nice lady who had helped me fill out all the forms crying along with me told me she had already been placed. Everyone wanted her she was so sweet. That has helped me. but every time I see a dog who looks like her I stop and wonder...
Anyways when I stopped at my customer the pet store to pick up their advertisement I saw the most adorable pomerian puppy in one of those tiny little stacked kennels. I asked if I could hold her - BIG mistake! When they put her in my hands she looked up at me and licked my chin. I had tears in my eyes instant connection! I called my new landlord right then and there and begged him to let me get her. I promised I would sign anything he asked or give more rent money. he was a very nice person and said no. He knew I'd take care of her and also just as important take care of his apartment. When I moved I had the whole place (even though it did not need it) professionally shampooed.
Charlie has been with me through living in the apartment, moving into our own home and helped me through man breakups. She's been right there with me when we didn't have a whole lot of money to pay the bills. Barely had money to buy food. No money for just about anything but the bare basics!
She always greated me with a big smile welcoming bark! And such a happy jumping dance its a wonder she hasn't broken her hip!
When I cried she'd be right there on my lap kissing away the tears. When i was happy she was right there barking away her joy. She loves to go on rides walks anythign when we can be together. And when I'm gone she misses me. She lets me know how upset she is by not saying hello when I come home.
Cleaning day means she is right on my heels giving me support. Racing me up those stairs with the laundry! And when i pull out that vacumn she attacks it just in case it means me harm. She wakes me in the morning in case I oversleep. But I really htink she just wants her breakfast! Then when I am on the floor working my abs she lays on my stomach. At night she watches tv while munching on her favorite treat.
Charlie has a problem with her lungs that she can live with for a long time. They were infected too but she is goign to be fine. The heart sonar showed no heart damage. She does have the pomerian troat trech problem.
Charlie now has daily meds she needs to take permanently that will control the breathing and coughing trech issues. She also has some antibiotics that she's got to take for 2 weeks. I'm amazed but after her stay at the hospital she is bouncing! I took her to MickeyD's for her favorite cheeseburger!
I know that Charlie isn't going to be with me forever and I dread the day that the vet tells me its time. But for now I'm very lucky and very happy that my baby is home.
She's the one thing I know loves me unconditionally.
