My ex's Yorkie had her pups and she's (my ex, not her Yorkie) been insistent that she's giving me one of the litter. It's been four years since the divorce and she knows I've wanted a pup ever since. We've been getting along a whole lot better the past couple of years and if she wants to give me a beautiful, not to mention expensive, gift like this, well, who am I to look a gift pup in the mouth?!

I had my heart set on a little girl but the little girl of the litter didn't make it. These two little boys did. The first photo is of the two brothers. My Jackson is the one on the right (I think?)

In my excitement I got a little close so a couple may be focused on my son's feet instead of my new son's little body. It's been many years since I've seen a newborn litter so I'd forgotten how much they look like little black rats but when have little black rats ever looked so adorable?!

Now the long wait for the twelve weeks to pass so I can bring him home. My ex said if he's doing well she might consider letting him come home with me a couple weeks earlier but I'm insisting she keep him with his mother the full twelve no matter how hard it will be. At worst I may let him come over a couple of weeks early to visit when the kids come over so he has some familiar people with him and then send him back after the weekend for a couple of weeks.

Anyway, please welcome Jackson (and his as yet unnamed brother) to YT. He's finally here!
