A great big thank you

[McheleM]

I know there are times on yorkietalk where it all seems like it's falling apart, no one gets along, and all that's on the boards are drama, but I have to say that I am amazed that people who barely know someone, other than time spent on this site, step forward and offer their wisdom and knowledge time and time again when a member needs it.

I want to thank each and every person who offered up their prayers and thoughts. I truly believe these prayers, coupled with the knowledge of the breeders I spoke with is what turned things around for us.
I want to thank each and every person who sent me a message or an email encouraging me and letting me know they were thinking about me and my dogs during this very trying time.
Thank you to those who emailed or called breeders on my behalf and passé don't heir information or answers so that I could use that information to help my momma and her babies.

And mostly, I wasn't to thank the breeders, who offered their advice and help and emailed me or messaged me or even talked to me on the phone to give me ideas and their years of expertise and what has worked for them. Thank you for answering my endless questions, no matter how silly, thank you for listening to me probably ramble, from lack of sleep, and thank you for caring about a person and dogs you've never met before. I have new found respect for you and what you do. It's not easy and yet you continue to do this day in and day out, knowing the sacrifices you make have to make, all for the love of your babies and their babies. And you took time out of your personal schedules and weekend to make sure my babies and I were being cared for. And I can't thank you enough.
Lastly, those 2 people I talk to on the phone, those that got to hear me breakdown and give up, who offered encouragement and who was even willing to drive an hour to come sit with me at the vets office, I love you! You are true friends and I couldn't ask for better people in my life. Linda, I know you hated the idea of Allie being pregnant and I am so appreciative of you 1. Being honest with me and 2. Being able to set aside those feelings and support me in my private hell. Denise, well you know. The good, bad and ugly. You heard the words before I spoke them, because you knew I was at the bottom and you helped pick me back up and right myself. Thank you so much for your friendship!
I hope one day to be able to repay each and every one of you in some small way.
This is what the true heart of yorkietalk is. The ability to put aside whatever is going on and rally together as a family of support for someone in need.

Thank you again, from the bottom of my family's and my hearts. We are truly blessed and have you to thank for it.

Beautifully said. So glad to read the mom and babies are doing well. You have done an awesome job with the help of some dedicated individuals on YT.

Best of luck during the new year.

It kind of feels like we lived this experience with you. I think it has made many of us feel like we are a closer Yorkie loving family now. I'm so happy that things are going well now. I will continue to pray for you and your babies.

What a Blessing, awesome way to start off a great New Year!

Michele I'm still praying for a happy ending...for you, for Allie and for each of her four baby girls. YorkieTalk members pull together when the times get rough, thank you for not giving up hope...where would your new mom and babies be without you? Some of us could do nothing but sit back and pray, others with more experience were able to jump in with both feet and support you with all their knowledge and expertise. For this I am thankful...I love YorkieTalk.

The beginning of that one thread was ghastly...... not your fault.... I'm glad that things are working out now.

[Lisa and Pic]

So glad things are going so well now and what a beautiful post, Michele!

[Verbena]

I am so glad things are working out. Lovely post

[crystalsmom]

So happy to hear Mom and Pups are coming along well.

Yes Yorkietalk is the best when it comes to knowledge of the breed and those willing to give their time.

[MauiGirl]

The breeders and others that have offered support are amazing. We all learn so much from them, and we learn from people like you Michele about what can happen. Your entire ordeal has been a learning experience for all of us.

I am so happy that Allie and pups are now doing well, and that you are getting a break. Hope it continues.

a very valuable lesson

What a wonderful post. I think it truly captures what YT is really about - at its best, at its worst, at everything in between...a very real experience.
