GIGI IS MY FIRST LITTLE YORKIE AND SHE IS ONLY THE SECOND DOG THAT I HAVE EVER RAISED ON MY OWN. I LOOK TO THIS SITE FOR THE WEALTH OF INFORMATION PROVIDED HERE. MY FIRST DOG WAS BORN TO AKC MOTHER AND FATHER HOWEVER, THE LITTER WAS BRED SON TO MOTHER THEREFORE THE BREEDER BASICALLY THREW THEM AWAY. I RAISED SAMSON OUR 120 POUND ROTWEILER WITH MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN. I READ EVERY BOOK I COULD FIND ON HIS BREAD AND CONSEQUENTLY, HE BEHAVED BETTER THAN THE KIDS. IT BROKE MY HEART TO PUT HIM DOWN FOR ADVANCED HIP DYSPLACIA. AFTER A FEW YEARS OF BEING DOG LESS i BECAME DISABLED AND WANTED A LAP DOG. I THEW THAT THERE WOULD BE DIFFERENCE AS I HELPED MY DAD TRAIN HIS POMERANIAN. I READ AND RESHEARCH AS MUCH AS I COULD AND STARTED WITH THE AKC YORKSHIRE BOOK. I KNEW THEN THAT I DID NOT WANT TO SHOW HER, JUST TO LOVE HER. SOON AFTER I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THEY JUST WANTED TO FLY A DOG TO YOU AND I WANTED TO SEE THE PARENTS AND THEIR LIVING CONDITIONS WERE. I ALSO CONTACTED MANY BREEDERS BY PHONE YET STILL THEY TOO JUST WANTED ME TO MAIL MONEY AND THEY WOULD FLY THE DOG TO ME. A FEW MONTHS WENT BY AND I HAD JUST FINISHED MY KIDNEY CANCER SURGERY SO MY SEARCH TOOK ON A DIFFERENT ASPECT. I COULD NO LONGER AFFORD A NEW YORKIE SO I PUT MY STORY OUT THERE AND BEN WAS THE ONLY BREEDER THAT WAS EVEN WILLING TO LISTEN. AFTER SOME TIME BEN AND GINA DECIDED TO GIVE GIGI TO ME. I AM SO GRATEFUL BUT I STILL NEED TO KNOW HOW TO BE THE BEST YORKIE MOM I CAN BE. I NEVER LEAVE HER HOME ALONE. GIGI GOES TO ALL MY DOCTORS APPT. AND TO THE STORE, WHEREVER I GO GIGI GOES. IF IT WASN'T FOR GIGI NEEDING TO GO POTTY IN THE MORNINGS i may not have gotten up that day! GGIGI IS MY CONSTANT COMPANION. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. SHE GIVES ME HOPE FOR BETTER DAYS WHEN WE CAN PLAY AT THE PARK CUZ SHE LOVES TO RUN CIRCLES IN THE GRASS. IF ANYONE WANTS TO ASK QUESTION, GIVE ADVICE, OR SET UP A PLAY DATE JUST CONTACT ME AS THIS SITE IS A HUGE PART OF MY LIFE NOW.
