Maxx has adapted quite nicely. As well, he is training us on his preferences.
On Monday the 24th Maxx had a dental procedure during which many of his remaining teeth were removed. He was sutured up and came home in the evening. Maxx was groggy, ate a little baby food before crashing, and he slept through the night.
Next morning Maxx was nearly normal, not exhibiting any discomfort (although that is difficult to tell with these little guys). Over the next several days Maxx had baby food with shredded chicken breast, and continued his clean bowl streak. On Friday, we backed off on the baby food and moved to his canned food. Clean bowl. He is going about his day as though Monday never happened.
This week Maxx explored the yard several times, marking as he investigated.
Maxx is a serious cuddler, and often asks to be held or do some lap time. He scratches on doors when he wants to go outside or to go into a room that is closed off. His hearing is very limited, however his vision and nose seemed to serve him well.
The little guy follows one of us about, and will scratch on a door if we happen to be on the other side. Maxx will alternate amongst his beds, preferring the sunroom bed on sunny days to soak up the rays. A few days ago he jumped onto the couch and took a nap on a pillow.
Maxx is staying with Lynn in Marlborough, CT.

KEEP THESE FACTS IN MIND: 1. Yorkies do not usually get along well with small children and can be injured by small children, even ones who love them. Be aware of this and keep them apart. 2. Yorkies can be very difficult (nearly impossible) to housebreak. If you are gone for more than 3 hours at a time, the dog will have to have access to wee wee pads, or need someone to stop in to let him out to potty. 3. We almost NEVER get a puppy (less than one year old) in Yorkie Rescue. If only a puppy will do, check the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America website for a recommended breeder - never buy over the Internet, or from a newspaper ad or a petstore. The heartache you save will be immeasureable. 4. There is no such thing as a "teacup" Yorkie, so don't be misled by such a description. LEARN about the breed BEFORE you decide to adopt. 5. You will need to make arrangements to drive and meet the dog at the foster home which can be in New Jersey, western PA, Maryland, etc. The dog's biography lists where the dog is fostering. We want you to meet the dog with your family and your dog, if you have one. This is a requirement for adoption.
WHAT IS THE ADOPTION FEE? Adoption donations generally vary from dog to dog, it depends on the health, the age and the size of the dog.
Young Yorkies will have a higher adoption donation since they are the most highly sought after and they help to cover the costs of the older dogs who have a harder time finding a loving home. It is sad but true that people overwhelming demand very young dogs when they would be infinitely happier with a mellow adult.
ADOPTION AREA
Save A Yorkie Rescue prefers to adopt only in the PA, NJ, western NY, DE, MD, VA, some CT area's. If you are in the NYC area or near Long Island, there is a Yorkie Rescue closer to you.
Be aware that you will be asked to drive to meet and pick up your dog.
