Disaster Has Struck

I am a sad little Yorkie today. Here I should be telling you all about what a wonderful 4th birthday I had on Friday and I can't.

On Friday, we were at our company truck yard and the boss came out to talk to Mommy personally. He sure was the bearer of bad news. He announced a NEW COMPANY FUR KID POLICY1! He told Mommy that the company had signed with a new Insurance Company and that she would only be allowed to have ONE fur kid in the truck as of November 1st. He then tried to soften the blow by telling Mommy that she was getting a brand new blue Kenworth T660 with a studio sleeper next week and that she definitely wasn't on the lay-off list for the downsizing. As if that is going to make any difference to Mommy. Asking her to give up two of us is like asking someone to give up two of their skin children. We three are Mommy's Heart and Soul!

Now Mommy has to work! She has no choice in that matter. So now unless she can find a new job in the next month, and there are lots of the smaller trucking companies shutting down in Canada, she is going to have to board two of us. We are all just devastated!!!

We are blessed in that we have many wonderful and kind friends that love all of us. Auntie Shelly in CA has said that All of us, Mommy included, can come and stay with her if it comes to that. Auntie Dee in WA has said that she will look after Nickie for sure and Sugar too if need be, but Sugar requires an awful lot of grooming that Auntie Dee doesn't really have time to do. Auntie Lois in Red Deer, Alberta has said that she will look after Sugar and Mommy can stop in and groom her every couple weeks. Auntie Judy, in Two Hills, Alberta has said that she will watch Nickie and MEEE until Mommy can find a new job.

It just isn't fair!! Why should we have to be separated now? When we came to work for this company 13 mos ago, they hired Mommy knowing that all four of us lived in the truck. (We don't even have a house or a vehicle of our own.) It was all fine until the Company hired a new safety man away from a large company. Now all of a sudden, only ONE fur kid in the truck. Mommy has explained and explained that she needs us so she can sleep but they just won't listen.

This is just so terrible. Sugar Princess Precious One got in the truck with Mommy when she was 9 weeks old and she will be 15 years old on December 10th. She has been away from Mommy for less than 30 days in that whole time. I got in the truck with Mommy when I was 10 weeks old and I just turned 4 years old on Friday. In that time I have been away from Mommy for 5 days. Little Nickie got in the truck with us on Christmas Day, 2007 and he has only been away from Mommy 4 days in that time. I have never ever been an only fur kid. I had my litter mates when I was a baby Yorkie and I had Sugar Princess when I came to live with Mommy. Little Nickie has only known happiness and love since he joined our family. I want my whole family together all the time!!! I don't want us spread out all over!!!!!

Mommy is busy applying for a new trucking job, both in Canada and the United States, but she is also willing to hang up the keys and get a normal job. She looked on the internet and found 3 homes in Lethbridge, Alberta, that are in our price range for purchasing and 11 apartments to rent that are also in our price range. Our youngest skin brother, Preston, lives in Lethbridge so that would be kinda nice for Mommy to be near one of her children.

This disaster has landed right on top of the news that our oldest skin brother, Quenton, is taking his family and moving to Australia for ever and ever on November 3rd.

We are really Praying hard that Mommy will find another job so we can all stay together! We really love all our Aunties very much and we appreciate them so much for extending their hospitality to us till Mommy can get a new job, but we really want to stay together.

Mommy keeps telling me, "Baby Sweet Pea, you just have to Pray about all this. God has a plan for us and we just have to work hard and do our best and Trust Him to guide us Safely through this turmoil." I hope that you will take a minute from your busy day and say some prayers for us.

Hugs and Kisses and Yorkie Prayers
