This is really good reading. My husband and I always had medium sized dogs and one day out the blue, I said to him someday I would like to have a Yorkie. His response was, "those little yappy dogs". Well Samantha was one of those things in life that are meant to be. She needed to be rehomed. So she came to us at a year old. My husband fell in love in no time and thought she needed a partner in crime so along came Odie and last but not least came Roo our ex-mill yorkie. They are our furkids, no doubt about it. It's funny to see "men" get mushy over them. My husband sure did a 90 degree turn.
