well, I've told part of this story before, but here goes:
I adopted my 2 from one of my daughter's dance teachers. The owner of the studio had a yorkie, and her adult daughter, also a dance teacher, got these 2 little yorkie pups, and when they were very new they would come to the studio some nights and be in the small office with the secretary.
I know I had seen one of the pups through the little window from the waiting room into the office. But the secretary was very protective over the puppy - I think it was Bubba I saw, and he was such a cutie.
Well, when Roxy & Bubba were less than a 1 1/2 yrs old the dance teacher mentioned to my daughter's class that she needed to find a new home for Bubba & Roxy because she was overwhelmed trying to care for them & a newborn & Roxy was jealous.
The first time, I really got to meet them - their owner was teaching dance. so the dogs were over at her parent's and I went over & her dad introduced me to Bubba & Roxy. I was so apprehensive because I had never brought an adult dog into my home before & I was also afraid if I took the dogs in, their original owner might change her mind & want them back.
Bubba loved on me pretty quick, but Roxy wasn't too sure. She's shy upon first meeting with anyone. The dad had to pick Roxy up and hand her to me, because she wouldn't come on her own. I sat & pet her as long she would let me. Then I played with them a bit.
I think it was like 3 or 4 days later, I went back & picked them up and brought them to my house!! They adjusted very quickly once here. But they are always thrilled to see their first owner and her parents and older brother - they have all even cared for the yorkies if I've been out of town. |
