Birthday Surprise I believe it was a family friend with whom I had my first experience with their Yorkie, Vampie. It was love at first sight. The following 18 months after I had a sudden new found crave for Yorkies, I did non-stop my research. I spent hours and hours looking at breeders, reading books and finding as much out about the breed as I could. It was all a bit of a fantasy world (so I thought) because I had just moved back into my parents home to finish up school, and when I brought up the idea of getting a new puppy they told me that they really didn't think it was a good idea. My boyfriend also hinted that it wasn't really a good time for me to get a puppy too, and not to mention I am just a broke college student. Well around rolled my 21st birthday, and my little sister asked to take me out for a birthday dinner. It just so happened I was kind of busy the day she wanted to do it, but she was persistent and told me that she would meet at the pizza joint in the adjoining town...period! She told me that I could bring my boyfriend if I wanted and she would pay for him too. I didn't think of the conversation being weird for some reason. Well a few hours before I was supposed to meet my sister, I threw the invitation out to my boyfriend, not expecting him to come because he had also had something planned for that evening and to my surprise he said 'sure!'
So off to me my sister and when we got there it took forever for us to be seated. And then even weirder, my MOM shows up with a scarf around her head trying to disguise herself. She came over to us at the bar where we had been waiting to be seated and hands me a card with a dog on it that says "What up dogg! Happy Birthday, Love mom Zoë and Tim". I thought okay this is nice, but weird, and then she hands me her purse and asks me "is this yours? I think you left it at the house." I was like no. And then she said "hum...lets look inside". She unzipped it and I looked deep into the purse and saw my baby boy Thor. He was just a little more than a hand full. I will never forget that day. He was curled up sleeping on his baby blanket that he came with from the breeder. I grabbed the bag and started crying, and ran out of the restaurant. I just could not believe it. They had all chipped in and bought Thor for me. My mom had been searching for weeks after my boyfriend had helped convince her! And my little sis threw in her hard earned money and helped pull the whole thing off. It was such an incredible day! And I am such a lucky person!
Sorry this was so long I just get excited! |
