Adoption Day

A note from Yukee via her new mommy - July 2008

I  am getting happier every day. I go up and down all stairs and "run with the big dogs." I'm worn out by bedtime because I don't miss a trick. I watch everything and I pounce on anything blowing outside: I've successfully attacked a bird feather, a piece of debris and unsuspecting bugs.

Being a discerning little girl, I am still playing hard to get at times with my new mother Jane. If she goes too far away or outside the fence, I cry and whine. But when she comes back, I stay while she puts her fingers down and I quickly lick them and run away. Then I do it again. Ha ha.

A couple of scrapbook pages that I made with the photos taken while we had Yukee for the weekend - Lynne

The first time I saw her she was in a small wire cage, cold and afraid and getting ready to be put up for auction. We knew we wanted to try and rescue this pregnant little girl and get her out of the puppymill cycle. We were lucky and she even luckier.
We won the auction. Yukee will have her puppies, her last little of puppies in her loving foster mom's home. She will stay there until her pups have been adopted and then it will be her chance to live the life she should have been living, running and playing and being part of a loving family.

Last weekend my foster mom had to go out of town. With me being so pregnant and having lived so long in a puppymill, she was worried to leave me with her new dog sitter. Lynne came and picked me. I spent a long weekend with her, Gil, Quincy & Nellie. I was a really good girl! I only made 1 piddle in the house. I even went outside for them without them having to pick me up. I learned really quick that I got a cookie when I went outside and came back in. Lynne even gave me my name. Since it had to begin with the letter 'y' it was really hard but she searched on the internet and found the name Yukee. It is Japanese for lucky. She said it was perfect for me because I am! a very lucky little girl now!

Sad to say, we lost this little one at 6 weeks old.
