It was 1970 and I liked everything with long hair! Boys, myself. We always had Shelties, my sisters dogs, so I decided I wanted an Afghan Hound, My Mom of course, said no way, there were 4 of us kids in a very small house. My sister and I shared a bedroom that was 11 ft by 7, with 2 beds and 2 small dressers, a sheltie, Lance and a cockateil. So i decided a yorkie would fit the bill with the long hair. I took my last 150.00 out of my savings and frma an add in the paper my Dad took me out to see this yorkie, they showed us the aunt who of course was pretty. The puppy was on the bigger size but what did I know. Well we took him, I named him Karma (yes I was a hippie) and he grew to 16 lbs, had a short wavy coat and floppy ears and could be pretty mean. But I loved him all the same. He was really attached to my Dad so when I moved out I couldn't take him away from the home he always knew, with our sheltie and my Mom was home full time, So after I moved out I got Zorro, then Gracie after Zorro passed on at 13, and when Gracie passed on at 6 1/2 my husband and dtr wanted a pom so we got Maya, but I missed my Yorkies so now I have Cali, Pixie and Roxie. |
