I was not exposed to yorkies unitl I was 19 when I met my husband who is 8 years older than I am. He was in the process of a divorce with 2 small boys and they had a yorkie. When we all moved to GA 2 years later the boys and Candy came to live with us. She adopted me from the start. She became mine. I had to make my youngest stepson stop sleeping with her because he would hold her sold tight right around her neck because he was afraid she would get up in the night, I was afraid he was going to strangle her. She really warmed up to me after that. But, it was love at first sight. I had to have her put to sleep about 4 -5 years after that. It was the hardest thing that I ever had to do. About a year later we got Bailey from a really good friend of ours. We got him for my stepson but, when he went to live with his mother I told him he could not take him, that I was not paying to fly a dog back and forth I would pay to fly him back and forth but I didn't think it was fair to Bailey to totally turn his life upside down.
The Thanksgiving after I found out that I was pregnant with my son, we were at my granfathers for the holidays. He lives on 10 acres in rural VA. He was used to it up there and he would go out do his business and then come back in and had been doing this for a couple of years. But he got in the road and got killed, he followed my aunts poodles on which was in heat to the road and he was the only one that didn't make it back. But, the good news my aunts dog had puppies so we had some yorkie poos and my mom got the female and still has her to this day. She is more Yorkie than Poodle. She is very attached to me. It's almost like she knows that because we had her daddy and we are a big part of why she is her.
Anway 8 years later we got Mollie from another good friend of ours and she just had babies the owner of the stud is the same person we got Bailey from. We are planning on matting them again.
Sorry this is so long.
