about
The folks adopting my pup, looking at their web site...well...I was a tad flabberghasted.
But I have to tell you all, having e-mailed all day long with this lovely lady, I am in awe of her loving spirit.
Never, NEVER, assume anything. Smilin George is moving in with a couple who have cross dressing web site. Complete with sales. And I'm honored to know them.
Seems that everyday, I learn more about life and loving. Not to mention how quickly you can become attached to kind folks.
LOVABLE YORKIE NEED PATIENT ADULT HOME
Smilin' George is 8 years old and needs a home with someone who knows dogs and can train him. Currently George is being confined to an area in our downstairs family room because Georgie is completely baffled about the difference between a tree outside and my husbands new speakers. To George, they're both standing, both wood, and worthy of a treat reward.
You know when George has committed a crime purposely because you'll find him in the bathroom behind the toilet staring at the ceiling.
He got his nickname because....he smiles.
Another possible downside to Smilin George is his love (and I do mean love in a most biblical sense) of his stuffed tiger. This doesn't really bother us. We're used to it. sigh. It's George. It's his thing.
This dog is a sweetheart and I have had a difficult time deciding to give him up but in truth, I have two other dogs, a parrot, and an old home that I'm currently remodeling which leaves me little to no time for training George. Not to mention, with so many other critters in our home, training is difficult.
It's unfair to George to keep him confined as he is. He's an affectionate, little guy and deserves a happier life.
I could not comfortably give him to a home with children (ours were grown and gone when we brought him home) or to anyone who does not have experience with training small dogs. He absolutely needs work on his house manners. Otherwise, this little guy is perfectly charming.

Only to you Crabby. Only to you.
You KNOW these people are going to google you and find this, THEN it will really be a mess. LOL!
Crabs has a yorkie dog, Smilin George. He is THE sweetest dog. A million pictures and stories with this dog. Of course, he's a boy. And boy dogs go pee all over the place, especially little ones. Or at least the one little one I had that lived in my house.
So I understand Crabby's battle she's had the last while with George wearing dog diapers and being locked away in an area. Not able to roam free like his little heart wants.
So, she put an ad on Craig's List to get him a new loving home.
The person that answered, first and immediately?
The email said crossdresser in the address. First clue. And he...she..he dressed as a beautiful she, proclaimed great love for that 'heart'of a pup and that he and his wife (she does this for a living, dresses cross dressers) lost their yorkie and would LOVE to have George.
They have a website and everything LOL....of course, my open mind thinks this would be a good thing for George, cuz at least he might be able to learn how to pee like a girl, which if you have dogs, you know girl pees are much easier to deal with than boy pees.
Only to Crabby, only you.
AND...I am so upset I can't go to their house with you and visit. *pout* Buy me some titties, ok? Just one set. And a man tummy girdle.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
And I swear, this is all true, I saw the email LOL.....
They know and they are absolutely the most warm hearted souls I ever met. At least she is.
I'm having a very hard time right now. Big fat hole in my heart gathering up his toys and stuff. I can barely stand it.
Sometimes doing the right thing can hurt like a bitch, yanno?
The big thing learned here, I guess is....it doesn't matter what a person looks like, what their sexual orientation is, how they like to dress up. What really makes a person dear, comes from a deeper place.
I have to go and give George the last bath I'll ever give him now. Oh you guys, I can't stand this. I know I need to suck it up but ...come on...it's Smilin George!

Tina, you must know, as much as I love my animals that I would never do anything to hurt them. This is already very hard for me. Please don't make me doubt my decision.
Peter, You're pretty fabu, yourself! I know Iris is proud. Even if she won't admit it.
Barman, thank you, for not doubting my motives and for always understanding. I'm so proud you're my adopted brother.
Milky, you know I love you, right? Goes without saying but..I still gotta. There are so many days that you just make life better for me.
Gabby, I would have happily given George to you. He has a horrible problem with "improper urination" though. I don't know if you'd want to get yourself into that.
I had to make a pen for him in the family room downstairs which is just awful because it separates him from his family and that's just wrong. It took months for me to be able to admit to myself I had to let him go.
These folks are just determined to take him and love him in spite of his shortcomings. I believe he'll be happy with them.
The little boy dogs - especially the terriers - do seem to pee a lot. My parents have a male cairn terrier that doesn't really mark stuff. (in fact he squats like a girl, which bothers my dad a lot... like it's a reflection of HIS masculinity... that he has this girl-peeing-style dog, but I digress) But when he gets excited, he squirts pee. Especially when he sees me, he does this whole body wag and then there's pee everywhere.
I'm glad you found a good home, who cares what the people wear in and out of the house, as long as they accept the peeing dog. They probably understand a lot more of Smilin' George's psyche than a straight laced couple might. As a self proclaimed oddball myself - other oddballs are going to love and accept a dog that isn't perfect so - good for you for finding him a good home.
Are they going to keep in contact with you and give you updates, or are you just going to cut off contact? I would understand both sides of the contact issue.

You know, speaking of the toilet thing... my sister used to have a yellow lab. What an awesome dog. He was left alone in the house and different times he had problems, sometimes I think on purpose. When they walked into the house he did not greet them at the door, first clue he done wrong. Second clue, he hid behind the toilet just like George only even more wedged in. It is amazing how a dog the size of Lucy could do that but he did.
Check your shoes before you leave.
uh oh, what happened?
