Marvelous MyLow had a good week. He lost his pink bandage on Tuesday after a followup visit to the vet and graduated to an infant T-shirt size 0 to 13 pounds. Dr. A says his mouth is healing nicely as are the spots where the fatty masses were removed.
No longer on pain medication, MyLow has had more energy this week. Stairs and jumping are back on the activity list. Toys are becoming interesting at times. He picked up a plush toy and gave it a good shake on Thursday.
We've also noticed him barking back at his foster brothers. Potty manners continue to improve but accidents still happen. The good news is he is starting to associate outside with all potty processes!
Next Tuesday he'll get his stitches out. Extra treats will be on the menu that day as I know he'll be a gentleman at the vets.
Noted on his surrender form that he lived with cats in his previous home.
MyLow may be just the little guy for you if you want a cuddly, sweet, quiet companion.
MyLow is staying with Julia in Fairfax, VA.

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.
