| Hello to YT Hi My name is Kathryn and I am writing to introduce myself. I am the proud Mom of 4.5 lb Lavinia Hyacynth (Vivi). She is my first yorkie...I had two big lovable golden retrievers..Sam and Daisy...RIP.....so owning a little dog has been a new experience. All I can say is that I now have two children One 15 year old with two legs..... Elizabeth..... and one furry one. I was surprised and delighted by my attachment to Vivi....she is with me all the time. I am an artist and I work at home in a studio. Vivi sits on my lap while I paint. I loved my big dogs very much but this is a different relationship.She is my muse. If someone that didn't understand this type of bond were to stand outside my studio door they would think I was crazy but I talk to VIvi all the time and I could swear she listens and understands me!!!!I know that there are lots of kindred spirits out there. I lost my husband to cancer 6 years ago(he was 41) and sometimes my daughter says that she thinks her Daddy sent Vivi to us.If that sort of thing can really happen then I am inclined to believe her. I am now engaged to a wonderful man and I have converted him into a dog liker who happens to be madly in love with Vivi!!!!I enjoyed the thread with all the photos of dogs and parents...YT is an attractive group. I will post pictures when I figure out how to do it. Anyway I am rambling so I will close now....Hope to talk to ya'll soon,Kathryn and Vivi |

| Vivi's name Hi, Thanks for the welcome. I named Vivi ......Lavinia Hyacynth.....because when I got her she was such a tiny little puppy and I thought she deserved a VERY BIG name!!!!!!It just seemed to fit her personality. |

| Welcome to YT..it can become addictive..I don't post much, but am here all day reading other posts! I also love Vivi's full name. My Mother was named Lavenia, and I always thought it was a beautiful name. I think most people spelled it with an I like you do, she was named after her grandmother and I think I've only seen it spelled with a E one other time. How did you come up with the name Lavinia? |

| welcome hi & welcome......can't wait to see pics of vivi !! Our furbabies here are quite spoiled as well, my youngest daughter is 17 and (lol) she verbalizes they get more attention than her! Jodi loves her little brother & sister very much though & is very loving to them. Infact she will get teary eyed just thinking of the time when Abbey's puppies will go to their new homes!.....Enjoy this yt community I found it to be great ! Luck, Laughter & Happiness to all!

| Lavinia's name I have always loved the name.I chose Hyacynth because the flower is always welcome in the spring after the long cold winter. I think that is the perfect metaphor for Vivi.Thanks for asking. |
