This little girl is a fighter!
One of the reasons I am posting about her is because we all need to be aware of the danger of ticks, especially as we enter summer.
Even with medication a tick bite caused YumYum to contract an immune system disorder that caused her to gradually become crippled.
No real diagnosis has ever been reached. Yet Yum Yum gets around, chases her litter mate brother, Nanki Poo, around the house as best she can and has something to say about everything.
Yum Yum’s heart is strong….what a survivor!
In case you’re wondering where the names originated….these pets belong to my Mom, an operatic singer. In Gilbert & Sullivan’s operetta “The Mikado”, two of the characters are named YumYum & NankiPoo. Mom is a classic and her two beloved Shitz Tzu’s are as well!
