I got a doggy! *pics*

[Tonya]

I did! I really did! Today, I went to the shelter to check on that pitbull that I dropped off yesterday. She has a hairline fracture in one foot and the other is just a sprain. :D Her owners haven't came for her yet.

Anyways, I was checking out the dogs while I was there and saw an old pomeranian. I struck up a conversation about Teddy and how I missed him. This woman told me about a breeder who was getting shut down by the county. The county had given her so many days to get rid of her dogs or they were going to step in. So, I called the woman.

OMFG! I've never seen such a disgusting house in my life. She at first said she had 7 pomeranians when I was on the phone. Then, once I got there the number was 12. Then, more and more kept coming out of the woodworks. I stopped counting at 17. I asked her if any were house trained and her response is "Do you think that I'd bother housetraining with this many dogs? Ha!" The dogs were just taking craps wherever. She had a blanket on the couch that she'd been laying on. A dog walked up and peed on it. She didn't even respond. It was amazing.

It was really hard deciding and I almost took a few home. I chose the one that was the worst off. I think she has something wrong with her eyes because of the urine in the house. They're real watery and gooky, but hopefully it isn't permanent damage. She has really bad diarrhea and scabs all over from the fleas. I don't have a ton of pics of her because I don't want her in my house until after the vet tomorrow. She's really disgusting right now. I washed her 3 times and I still feel gross holding her. She's going to be a great dog though. She's really adorable. I hope the fact that now that I'm a tad more experienced with small dogs and she's a female will make this a better experience then Teddy.

Anyways enough blabbing! I'll post the pics in the next post.

There was a male yorkie in the house. The woman pointed out a cream and a red pom and said that they were the parents...but doesn't she look a tad yorkie to you?

Daddy drying her off....(You can see the gooky eye problem in this one.)

I don't know why because Raven usually hates everyone, but I think that she likes her. It doesn't look like it in this pic because of the airplane ears...I think she did that because of the flash. She was letting the pup lick her.

So now, she's sleeping in the garage in a crate with a heater. I wish I could have her in here to cuddle, but she feels so icky to me. I'm taking a few hours off of work tomorrow to take her to the vet and then the groomer. I think after that, I'll feel better about having her in the house. Probably by the time I'm done with her and the vet, I will have spent as much as I would if I'd gotten a healthy pomeranian from a real breeder.

Awww I thought you got the pittie :( :p

Ick that house must stink! How disgusting, why would she not even house train them! Ick!

Im glad you picked the one that needed you the most, most people would pick the one with the less problems, just so they wouldnt have to deal with them :rolleyes:

Congrats on the doggie, she is a cutie!! Good luck with her, and PM me if you have any questions, because I grew up with one :)

[wolfie]

Wow! First off, I'm glad that the pit isn't that badly injured.

Second - if it were me I'd have taken all the poms! :( That's so sad. But congrats on rescuing her - she's adorable! Good luck! :D :D :D I hope she doesn't cost you too much in vet bills. :)

I would have loved to have the pittie! But she's not up for adoption. Also, I really don't think that a third large dog in my house would be a good idea. As much as I love the thought, I have a rough enough time with my neighbor.

Yes, the house stunk B-A-D! My nose was burning all the way home from it. Jaden sat down on the carpet and I about died. I was all "Son, please get up." He just sat there and I pinched his arm really bad. lol. He got up fast.

It was hard to pick the bad one to be honest. There was an adorable cream one who had so much personality and the cutest looks. There was also an all black one that was really cool. They were all gorgeous. (Aside from the fleas, scabs, knots, and poop hanging from their butts. :rolleyes: ) I was tempted to just get an easy one, but this one kept licking my brother. He made me feel guilty. lol. And beside, I can afford to fix her. I'd already considered paying an arm and a leg for a pom anyways. Those others will get adopted out in a heartbeat once the county confinscates them.

The woman had told me that her deadline was within a few days. She'd already gotten rid of a few, but she wasn't able to do it on time. She said that she can keep a higher number if she spays and neuters them, but that she once lost a dog under anesthesia, so she doesn't believe in fixing dogs. So...she'd rather just give up. It was really hard for me to be nice to her.

[CathyBogart]

[jenfer]

Congrats on the new addition.

[Tonya]

Thank you! I love those names too. I'll make a poll of my 10 favorite when I get home today.

[Tweety_Pie]

[pitc9]

Congrats! I'm so happy you saved her!
I'm sure she will be such a happy little girl!

[EssTer]

aww, congrats with new doggy ;) soo cute lil puppy ;)

[anna_66]

Congrats on the new puppy, she's a cutie:) I'm glad you rescued her from that terrible situation.

[K9soul]

She's adorable, but so sad about her condition. It's wonderful that you saved her and are doing so much for her. I think in the end you'll feel a lot more reward this way than buying from a responsible breeder because at least with a responsible breeder, the dogs are well cared for and not in such dire need. Of course rescues can present quite a challenge too, but it feels so wonderful as you watch them blossom from what they were when you got them, to a healthy, happy, wonderful pet.

I kinda think she looks like a Nikki for some reason. But I have always loved that name too. She sure is cute, can't wait to see more pictures and hear all about her :)

[Felicia's Mom]

Congrats on saving that puppy. It's too bad there are people like that woman.
I'll be looking for pictures!

[RobiLee]

Awww, Tonya. She is such a cutie. I'm so glad you got her out of that place. I'm sorry I missed this one. Can't wait to hear more about how she is doing and to see lots of pics of her.

Robin :)

[My Peanuts]

SHE IS SO CUTE! If you are thinking of names I think she looks like an Angie. That was my Shih Tzu’s name and your new addition has the same soulful eyes. By the way, Raven is a beautiful kitty.

[ramanth]

Congratulations! The pup is such a darling. :)

[Tonya]

Bump!

[dappledoxie]

Congrats on the pup! What a cutie!

[Cheshirekatt]

Awww...congrats! You're a sucker for the underdog like I am! lolololol

Keep the pictures coming and I hope all goes well at the vet.

Keep us posted!

[BCBlondie]

Ooh another Pom owner!!!:D I have two pomeranian mixes, Megan and Monica. One of my pups was named Misty by the breeder's kids, but I really didn't like the name since I thought "mist" is more greyish-like...isn't it sort of like fog? on a cloudy day? I dunno... What about Laila or Layla for the pup? Pretty name for a pretty dog. :D Or Nani..which means beautiful or pretty in Hawaiian. :)

[CountryWolf07]

SO CUTE! :) Congrats!! Name her "Angel". ;)

[Karen]

She's so cute, and boy is she gonna be a beauty once she's healthy and cleaned up and full of love! Those eyes! Congratulations, you did a good thing.

Hope ALL the dogs in that home get taken away and given to good, responsible homes.
