Well I literally spent HOURS on the phone yesterday and have come to the conclusion that within the 5 boroughs you can NOT get a dog from a trust worthy source and when I thought I had a source, after enough digging I found dirt on them. Honest people are starting to get hard to come by. I knew we wanted to get a dog and get it today but I was determined to do it the right way. I called every number in the tri-state area from the ytca.org links and other yorkshire terrier clubs.. These people were nice but didnt have anything for me except more phone numbers...
I managed to get in touch with Susan from Top Knotch Yorkies when they called me back on my message a few hours later and made the quest down to south Jersey. We brought home a 5 month old named Murdock.
It was an extremely satisfying experience, driving a few hours down in the evening. I had confused the directions and gotten a bit lost. Susan had left the phone in the other room so didnt hear it, so I couldnt get directions. My wife was nervous and I myself on a mission. Blackberry combined with will to make this happen no matter what I managed to find TKY. Brought my wife and daughter in and I was just amazed as my wife was completely overwhelmed and my little girl was going crazy because of all the puppies. 2 hours later, around midnight, we started making our way home and I have this hard to explain feeling as Im driving back to NYC with my wife, daughter and new yorkie all sleeping in the back of the car..
Anyways it was just a whole experience going to get this dog and it was all amazing. |
