I had raised Bichons - fell in love with them for that sweet lion face, but always thought someday I would like to have a yorkie. When my last Bichon passed, I was broken hearted & not ready for another furbaby in my heart & I was a busy, busy single mom. One of the places I was always taking my daughter was the dance studio & a couple yrs after I had been without a dog, my daughter's dance teacher got 2 of the sweetest little yorkie puppies & would sometimes bring them to the studio for the secretary to watch in the office while she taught dance.
I was always trying to steal a look at those sweet faces, but the secretary was so protective of those pups, because the 800-plus little dancers all wanted to drool over the puppies. Well, about a yr went by & one day my daughter said the dance teacher was trying to find a new home for her yorkies.
I'm like "What?? Why??" Seems the dance teacher's new baby was taking up so much time & the sweet little girl yorkie was a bit jealous of the baby. My daughter goes on to tell me, the dance teacher had been telling them this for a couple months -- I'm like, "Why are you just now telling me this??" We were in the car on the way home from the studio, as soon as we got home I called the teacher & said, I'll take them!!
Then I got all hesitant, because I had never had anything but puppies. What if they didn't adjust well? What if the dance teacher changes her mind & wants them back? I went one night to see them at her dad's house (where they went once they got older & she was teaching dance.) The dogs weren't quite sure about me. But everyone said they will adjust. I brought them home & they immediately started acting like they had lived with me forever.
They had to keep their original names since, we would continue a relationship with the original owner
They still see her & often go stay with her parents when I travel. Bubba even was the perfect casting for Toto one yr for dance recital!
They are spoiled rotten with me & have stolen my heart & my bank acct.
