After my Cocker Spaniel died in January of '06, I swore that I would never get another dog even though I still had 2. When I lost her, I just couldn't bare the thought of ever having to go through that again with another baby other than with the 2 I already had. It was just TOO painful for me
I was depressed for a LONG time.
But, being the dog (and animal) lover that I am, one day I was looking online at puppies just oooh'ing and ahhh'ing at them. I was actually looking at Dachshund puppies as I already owned (and still do own) a Mini Doxie. However, my cousin had been telling me for the longest that I needed to get a Yorkie and to be honest at first I didn't even want one
And might I add in that the thought of NOT wanting a Yorkie now just totally boggles my mind
LOL. Anyway though, my cousin had one and although I loved her baby, I was still wanting another Mini Dachshund. Well...somehow (I can't remember how) I stumbled upon baby Yorkie pictures and that pretty much did me in
LOL. Once I saw them I was looking at pictures of them online NON STOP and was BEGGING my hubby for one. For about a month or more all I heard him say to me was, "NO NO NO! No more dogs!" as he too had such a hard time when we lost our Cocker Spaniel. But eventually, after BEGGING him all day and all night, he said YES
So, the search was on and it did take a month or two...but I finally found my little Stedman and boy am I soooooo GLAD I did!
My best friend was buying her first Yorkie baby at the same time I was just about, so it was pretty exciting
She and I both now have 1 boy and 1 girl - PERFECTION!!
