| YTers, I NEED ADVICE. . .16 MO. GLORIA Okay all you knowledgeable and dependable YTers, please give me all the advice you can to help little Gloria in this transition. A little background: One day I was browsing through YT and I came upon a thread about a little Yorkie named Gloria who was for sale by one of our YTers. There was a detailed description of little Gloria and pictures posted as well. I thought she was soo adorable, and there was just something about that little face and those precious eyes. It seemed there were many interested in her and I thought she'd be to a new home in no time, not really thinking it would be mine. After reading a post indicating Gloria was still waiting. . .I decided I would love to give her a forever home. Well, first things first, I had to make sure my husband agreed, and that wasn't much of a problem because he loves our Lexie and Molly sooo much and he also loves me even more. And there it began. My reason for wanting Gloria: Well, besides the obvious. A lot of you know I have suffered two major losses this year; my mother, 1/12/08, and my father,4/10/08 (happy father's day, daddy). During the illnesses of my parents, a lot of times the only thing that would bring a smile to my face was my first yorkie, Lexie. After long days at the hospital with my mom, Lexie was always waiting for me with lots of kisses. Needless to say, the passing of my mom was very difficult and I wanted to feel that unconditional love and give it, so that's why I got Molly. During the week my mom was cremated, I was loving and being loved by my little Molly and my Lexie. So off we are a month later, fighting the battle of cancer with my father. This time Lexie and Molly were able to go with me to care for my father because he was staying at my sister's with the assistance of hospice (thank you). So my precious babies were right there with me. Well, after daddy passed, it was even more difficult because I don't think I really had a chance to mourn my mother. My babies have dried my tears away many times with their sweet kisses. After reading about Gloria, I knew he would want me to have her for my birthday (6/13) and then I remembered when he handed me my first puppy on my 10th b-day. My parents didn't have a lot of money, but they both had small life insurance policies for their burial and a small portion for their four daughters. So that's how I was able to get both Molly and Gloria (thank you, mama and daddy). YTer Dena told me Gloria has a nickname of Glory. Every morning Dena would greet Gloria by saying, "Morning, Glory, what's your story?" So little Gloria will now be called Glory "B", B is for Ben, my father's name (thank you, Dena). My sisters and I thought that was perfect. So that's her story. So little Glory "B" will be flying home tomorrow, Monday, June 16, 2008. YTers, I appreciate all the help you can give me. Thanks for reading, Sylvia

| Congrats!!! First let me say that I'm sorry about the loss of your parent's. I know you are sooo excited about getting little Glory B (BTW super cute name!) I'm really excited for you too! I've never had problems integrating new members to the family, so long as everyone knows their place and the newbie goes straight to the bottom of the pack you shouldn't have any difficulties. Make sure you make lots of fuss of Lexie and Molly and Glory last of all, also feed her last! I know its tempting to shower your newbie with affection, maybe your hubby could take Lexie and Molly out once Glory has settled in a bit so you two can bond! I'm really looking forward to seeing loads of cute pic's, Congrat's again!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | I am so happy you are giving Gloria her forever home. My heart goes out to you on the loss of your Mom and Dad i such a short time span. In the last 2 1/2 years I have brought home 4 different yorkies, one sadly passed after 5 weeks, and all of mine adjusted each time to a new member. They all seem to know their role. I got Pixie when she was 13 months old and I thik because I had 2 other dogs she adjusted really well. They are pack animals and do love their own and work out the pecking order. Just give each one some special time. I can't wait to see pics of all of them together.

| Congratulations on your little Glory B! I'm sure you are very excited to have her join you all in your home. I am so very sorry for the losses you have endured this year. Your mention of your father wanting you to have Glory B as he had when you were 10 brought tears to my eyes. Bless your heart, it has been one tough year. I'm sure the three babies will help you much with your healing. They are so very wonderful that way! Please post pics of all them when Glory B arrives!

| First - I'm so sorry for your losses. Second - congrats on your new baby. The name is perfect and I can't imagine a better forever home to be coming to than your's. I'm so happy for all of you. Advice? Lots of hugs and kisses, just don't forget to include Lexie and Molly in all the snuggling.

| Thank you all for your support and helpful comments. Yes, this has been a very tough year but also a wonderful year because of all the special moments I had with my mom and dad and also the love and joy I get from my furbabies, and I should also say my 3 skin kids who have been very loving to me and supportive (even when suffering the same loss). You have all given me the confidence I need to make this transition as smooth as possible. I will post plenty of pics. Yay, the time is ticking away!
