Default How long did it take to REALLY love them?

I love Wesley and Maddie so much now, but I have to admit that it took me a little while with both of them...

Wesley was my first dog ever and I had dreams of falling in love with him and him falling in love with me from the moment we met. But things didn't work out quite that way. When we picked him up, he fell in love with my boyfriend! In the car, I was holding Wes in the passenger seat and he kept trying to squirm out of my arms into my boyfriend's. The ride home was 5 hours. When we stopped for food my boyfriend went inside to buy it. Wesley did nothing but look in the window and cry for him! He didn't want me to hold him either. Wesley's feelings toward me remained this way for about a week. I was heartbroken. I thought he would never love me. But slowly he came around and now he is a mama's boy. I wasn't sure about him the first couple of days we had him, but now I love him to death!

When we got Maddie, she didn't really bond with my boyfriend or me. She was very independent. She wouldn't come to the door when we came home, she wasn't scared of us or anything, she just didn't seem to care about us. We we reached down to pick her up, she would run. But now, whenever I am watching TV she can't sit next to me, she has to sit on my lap. At night she cuddles up right by my neck and she's suck a little licker!

I love them so much now and I love them more everyday as their little personalities come out more and more.

I was just wondering what your experiences were like...did you fall in love right away or did it take a little while?

P.S. Sorry for the long post.

Reesie was the last puppy of the litter. When we walked in the door she was laying on her back and rolling back and forth because she was so full from eating she couldn't get up. That did it for me. Had to have her.Abbie is 5 months old and we got her from my best friend who breeds yorkie's. She brought Abbie up to my work and I called my husband and he said we didn't need another dog. Later that evening while I was on the internet looking a puppies my husband called my best friend and surprised me by telling her to bring over the puppy because she was sold. What a great husband!

I fell for Grayson the instant I laid eyes on him. He is totally mommy's boy, and really dosn't have much at all to do with my husband or the kids. He squirms as quick as he can to get back to me. It's sad as my husband trys to love him but he dosn't love Grayson like I do. I can tell, but I have to say my cats are totally his. They were my girls until they met Brad and from then on they were his. So I guess it is even and i have told him lots of times all the animals can't be his!! LOL

I love my furbaby to death!! I am the main care giver I feed him, bath him and take to potty. I also comb him

I fell in love with Cooper the minute I saw him, his breeder was holding him and I could not get him out of that man's hands fast enough!!! Cooper is truly my joy and words can't express how much I love this little guy!!
Carley, whom we got at 6 months old, has always been a sweetie and I truly love her and am so thankful to have her...but it wasn't that first "BAM" love like it was with Cooper, if I'm being honest. Now of course, I love them both and cannot imagine either one not being in my life...and I was never a real dog person either. My husband and I wonder sometimes what we would talk about without our little guys, we truly both are obsessed over them. He wasn't a dog person either, and didn't even want me to get a dog, but now, he is as bad as me, we are probably both sickening when it comes to our "babies"!!!

With Cali I fell in love right away, same with my last Yorkie, Gracie. With my first that I had on my own. Zorro, he was very aloof until he got real sick at 6 months and had to stay at the vet for 2 days not knowing if he would live or not. When I picked him up from the vet he was a different dog, he never left my side and was the sweetest Momma's boy. With Maya I really wasn't ready to get another dog after losing Gracie at 6 1/2 years and she was not a Yorkie like I wanted, but my husband and dtr wanted her. So it took awhile, 5 months before I really bonded with her and she is still very independent.

I fell in love with them the moment I saw them. Chachi was my first and he iis special because he was the first and i had waited 2 years to get a yorkie so I was just in awe with him.I also loved his personality. With Jewels she was so tiny only 12 oz and she had the cutest face. Definitely a baby doll face. I still think she is the prettiest yorkie i have ever seen.

I totally fell in love with Chanel the day I met her ...Cheri fell in love with ME and it was all over when she peed on my shoe after scrambling over 3 other tiny bodies to be held..... I think I bonded deeper with Chanel....she's like my little hairy soulmate lol - but Cheri is the biggest mommies girl .... between the 2 I can't be happier...

Being completely and TOTALLY honest here - I fell in love with Stedman the very SECOND I saw him!!! I swear - the minute I saw him FLY out of that x-pen and attack another little Yorkie girl (lol poor little thing), I KNEW he was the little guy for me, LOL Then he "HOPPED" across the floor and grabbed a pencil that was laying on the floor and took it in his mouth and RAN and tried to get away from all of us I just KNEW he had to be MINE! He was (and still is!) just sooooo totally FULL of spunk and character - he was SUPER playful, yet very loving - and of course, CUTE AS A DANG BUTTON!!!

Even though I am a major dog person, I had (gasp!) never had a dog inside the house before Jazz. My sneaky husband actually bought him for our daughter, but then called and said he was bringing a yorkie puppy home for my birthday. I was furious and said there is no way I would EVER have an inside dog. I had never had a yorkie, nor had I given them much thought. I always had cocker spaniels. I told my husband not to bring the puppy home, to give him away.
I thought having an inside dog was too much work. Plus, everyone I knew with an inside dog had problems leaving them when they traveled.
Well, fortunately, he did not listen to me, and brought the puppy home. It was love at first sight, for me. I used to see pet owners on TV referring to themselves as dog parents, and say " How stupid. I am no dog's mother."
Well, now when people ask how many kids I have, I always include Jazz. He became my dog, my little boy, my daughter's naughty little brother, my best friend.

With Tucker, I was in love the second after I said "I want this one." I had SUCH a hard time choosing between him and his brother. I ended up going with him because he was just the cutest little thing. Luckily for me, his breeder kept the other guy and I get to visit him sometimes.

and with Maddie, it was love at first sight. From the time I saw the first picture of her, I knew she was perfect. and when I saw her in person for the first time my heart melted.

I think I was the same. I had never seen a dog so tiny in my life, and immediately thought I was gonna blow it. So, I brought Cali home and we kinda just looked at each other for a couple of days. After a good week or so, I knew I loved her.

I fell in love with my little guy when I saw him. He was a little afraid of me but I can't wait to get him off the breeder's hand. I knew he wasn't going to be very small but I really didn't care. I like his temperament and that is what matters to me and hubby like his looks. I bonded with him when I held him in my arms on the way home while hubby was driving. My hubby, who never had a dog before took a longer time, about 3 months because now my baby is 6 months old and I can see the changes in my hubby. I am really proud of both my hubby and my baby.Siu Pao used to stick to me only and I had to encourage him to go to daddy more and hubby to play with him more. Things are much better now.My hubby will play with him before going to work in the morning while I am still sleeping and bring Siu Pao in to the bathroom when he showers and Siu Pao in return, is glad to follow because mommy is sleeping!
