Our lively 18 month old is, Tyava's Out of Oz, Toto. My husband looked for months to find exactly what we wanted. Actually, I didn't want another pet after we lost our Toy Poodle, Nicole about 7 years ago. Had her for 13 years and I thought I would die when we lost her and swore never to get attached to another pet! Since I wasn't at all interested, I described what I wanted if I had one ... thinking he would never find it! So Patrick is the one who began the "Yorkie Quest"! He searched for several months and by that time we knew if we ever found it, we would have a Yorkie named Toto! We are in so many different states [we work for gas/oil companies] there are actually times we forget where we are and I am constantly saying "We aren't in Kansas anymore, Toto!"

Tyava, of course, is the kennel name. We became so unbelievably attached to her in about five minutes after we first held her! We had paid to reserve "pick of the litter" and never even looked at the others! She is purebred and yes, we paid a great deal for her and I believe she could have done well in the show ring ... but, we wanted a pet and she is absolutely the sweetest little girl we could've imagined! Well ... actually she is a "spoiled brat" ... but in a good way!!! Our lives revolve around her ... we quickly became Yorkieholics!!
