My name is Elvis, but not Phyllis's Elvis. I am a yorkie named Elvis and I am here with Phyllis and Cookie the chihuahua and Elvis the Shi Tzu who are her dogs. This is what I know. I was born in Florida and a lady got me from a breeder when I was 3 months old. It is the only home I have ever known. Last Sunday, April 1st,2012,, my family surrendered me because they had a baby and could not give me the attention that I needed. Nor did they pay much attention to me when I lived there anyway.
Sunday I was taken from the only home I have ever known and brought to Phyllis. I was and still am very scared. When Phyllis picked me up in the house and put me on a table she started to be really upset. I heard her say I had so many fleas on me she couldn't believe it. All of a sudden I was in a strange bathtub with this strange lady giving me a flea bath. I was not happy but stood very still so she wouldn't get mad at me. I don't know her after all. Then she gave me Frontline and also to the other dogs in the house. After my bath I stayed laying down by the door waiting for me family to come and pick me up. It is now Wednesday and I am still waiting. I lay on the floor and look at the door but they don't come. Phyllis give me lots of love and attention but it's my family that I want.
Yesterday I went to the vet and found out I have hookworms and something called Clostridium which is an infection coming from drinking dirty water from gutters or bowls that collect water outside and then get dirty and germy. I got a bunch of shots because I haven't had any in two or three yeaers. Last night I felt just terrible from the reaction to one of the shots. I shook all night. Phyllis gave me medicine to help me feel better and today I am fine.
I am 6 years old and nobody ever took the time to show me how to go outside. I never knew I should not just go anyplace I want to. Phyllis and Elvis are going to show me how to do the right thing. I hope my real Mom comes to get me but I have a feeling it's not going to happen. Right now I am feeling very depressed even tho Phyllis is nice to me. She says in a week or so I will love her and start to forget the other people. I hope so because I am so sad now. I will be back soon with more news of my time here if Mom doesn't show up! Why would anyone do this to me just because of a baby or two? Not fun for me right now and Phyllis looks so sad for me.
