Marley's Happy Tails

Guess what.  Yup I have a forever home.  I could just giggle I am so happy.  A lady came to visit me last Saturday.  She came back Sunday and took me to her house.  On Saturday she came to meet me with her dog JuJu whom she adopted 6 months ago from United Yorkie Rescue.  He is 6 years old.  Phyllis liked his Mom and liked him too even tho he marked the whole house and pood in it too.  She said he must be nervous.  I NEVER DO THAT and I was petrified when I came here.  Anyway this nice lady came back on Sunday without her other dog and sat with me.  I have come a long way from when I first got to Phyllis's house.  I sat on her lap and layed on my back so she could give me a belly rub.  I could tell that Phyllis was a little nervous letting me go because I was so scared when I got here.  She took me outside with a very long leash to show the lady how I drop my toy for a treat when I hear a click and how I sit down when she tells me so I can hear the click and get a treat.  Then we went back in the house.  The lady put a leash on me and picked me up because I wasn't sure I wanted to leave without Phyllis.  I was so nervous that I threw up on the lady who is now my bestest MOM forever but she didn't care. 

She had a great big yard and I ran and ran and slept in her bed and love her so much and the other dogs too.  This  is the first day of the rest of my happy happy life.  So Long Folds.  Marly has left the building!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a new life for Delia

All day Sunday I hid in the crate.  Way in the back.  The dogs stuck their noses in to see me but I stayed very quiet.  At dinner I was so  hungry I had to overcome my fear to eat.  I did eat and then I ran in another room and found paper so I could relieve myself and ran right back into the crate.  Phyllis really didn't come too close to me just whispered into the crate every once in awhile that everything would be ok.  Sunday night when everyone went to bed I snuck out of my crate and climbed the stairs into the bed and Phyllis was so surprised she got up and brought a small bed onto her bed.  I crawled into it and slept all night.  I can't believe what I have here.  I watched the other dogs play and every time Phyllis thru a toy I got it!  It was fun.  I took every single toy into the crate.  Then she gave me a stick to chew!  I think I died and went to heaven.  Monday night I climbed those stairs and slept in the bed and this morning I was so happy that when Phyllis turned over I climbed up on her .and kissed her.  Phyllis says that proves that dogs live in the moment.  She said in another day or so I will start to forget that I spent all my 5 year life in a cage and had tons of babies that were sold right out from under me.  I had a haircut today and Phyllis told the man to leave me in a little bag she put me in because I am used to being in a small space.  I look so cute I can't stand myself!  Take a look and soon Phyllis will post a picture to facebook showing what I look like now that I have a new haircut.  I walked for the first time with a thing on me and a long thing she called a leash.  It was so much fun.  I love the fuzzy green stuff on the ground and I love smelling whatever the other dogs smell.  I think I will like it here and Phyllis says I will be a very happy girl the rest of my life.  She says I am getting spayed next week.  I don't know what that means and I hope it is not too scary.  I will let you know how I make out.

Delia leaves the garage

Hi, my name is Delia, and my picture is on Facebook.  This is my story.  I have lived all my life in a garage in a cage with lots and lots of other dogs.  My sole purpose was to have puppies for my breeder/owner.  I never left my cage except to meet the boy dog who would be my puppies daddy.  I was way up high in a cage in the garage.  There was no air conditioning in the garage, but there were fans.  The person who was using us to breed had to start getting rid of us because of family issues and United Yorkie Rescue had come many times to take dogs out of the garage where I lived.

Finally it was time for her to get rid of most of the rest of us and I was one of them.  A lady came and the breeder put 6 of us in two cages and put us in the UYR lady's car.  She snuck more of us in than the lady thought.  My foster Mom, Phyllis met the lady and after looking at all of us, and being bitten by one of the more scared dogs, took me.  She could only take one of us because she has two other fosters already, and her own dog, and her daughter's dog so that is a houseful.  The good thing is that I heard her say that Isabella has been adopted and she will be leaving us in a week or two.

Phyllis took me to her house and put me on the floor and I ran for cover as fast as I could because I had never had so much room to move in and I was scared to death.  I found a crate with no door and hid way in the back of it and hoped nobody would see me.  I am very small and weigh only 4.7 pounds so I can hide very easily.  That was Sunday afternoon.  I will tell you what happened Monday and Today in a minute.  I am out of room now

Keeping up with Marly

Marly here for a short note to just let you know that all is well here.  We have a new little yorkie..  Her name is Delia and I am just introducing her so she can tell you her story.  Her picture is on Facebook and she has only been here since Sunday.

I am doing very well here.  I have not started to be clicker trained yet because I did have a lady come and say she wanted to adopt me the very next week.  After Phyllis had all the paperwork done the lady called to say that someone had given her a little girl yorkie and that she wanted to keep her instead of adopting me.  Phyllis was disappointed that I did not get a new home but she is still happy too have me because I am a very good boy.  I love my bully sticks and Isabella, another little girl yorkie who has just been adopted and I play together all the time and that give Phyllis lots of time to do other things with her dog Elvis.  So, look for Delia.  I guess she's nice and I guess she's cute but I'm just a dog so what do I know!
