New Home

The time has come. We have known for a while now that our yorkie, Trevor, would not be with our family much longer. Yorkies are known for being one of the worst breeds for families with small children. We've caught him snapping at Brody several times..and 99% of the time it was unprovoked by Brody! Since Trevor is blind in one eye, he may be a little more protective of himself than some dogs...but that's no excuse! We talked to a few friends about Trevor, however, none of them were in the position to take him right now. We just kept putting off making a decision. We didn't want to have to put him to sleep. He's been our little puppy for over 8.5 years! He's still such a good dog...just not great with Brody (and imagine adding another little boy into the mix!)

Today Trevor snapped for the last time. We didn't see what happened, but we just heard Brody crying and saying, "Trevor...owie!" We ran in the other room to find Brody holding his leg. Trevor had put his teeth on Brody this time. He didn't break the skin...but he left a big bruise! We'd had a enough!

Caleb helped me list Trevor on Craig's List as a dog in need of adoption. Within 20 minutes a lady named Wendy called!!! She said that she had a yorkie that had just died (after 14 years) which they had spent lots of money on trying to heal him. She also said that her last child has just left home and they need someone to entertain them and keep them company! Her mom lives with them and is home all day by herself and in need of a puppy to play with. Two hours later she arrived at the house. Trevor (who's usually nervous around new people) seemed right at home in her arms. We were so happy that she was going to take Trevor and give him the love and attention that he needs. As they left Brody ran to the window and started saying, "Trevor...bye, bye!" It was then that the tears began to fall. Our children are so much more important than a puppy...but it was hard to see Trevor being driven away. He's been a part of our life since 2 months after we were married!!


*Edit* Wendy called the next day and told us that Trevor had already gotten his shots and been groomed. She said that he curled up under the covers with her last night and was slowly warming up to their family. She said she didn't want us worrying about him...that he was doing great. That was sweet of her to call!
