This is a very nice thread. We all enjoy talking abut our babies. Were so proud of them. We have a Sheltie name Scrappy, who is one of the best dogs I've ever seen. He has never had a accident in our house. He can hold it like nothing I've ever seen, but will not go in the house. He obeys my ever command like the good boy he is. He is my sons unconditional bestfriend. They never fight and Scrappy never back talks. He is his constant companion. He also loves me with all his heart. He is definitely one of the family. Now about My Mia. She will be 8 months old on the 23rd and she is MY baby. I went to a fair last summer at a near by town and I ran into a man that had a baby yorkie. I immediately fell in love with HIS dog. When I finally left this man, I turned to my son and told him that I wanted a yorkie and my hubby said "NO", were not having another dog in our house. He was pretty much determined that I wasn't getting one. My son turned to me (he's 12) and said "Mom, when I get a job and get older I will buy you one. I promise you will have one of those dogs before I leave to go to college" I just smiled at him and said "thank you sweetie, I appreciate you doing that for me". Well months went by and we teased my husband about getting me a yorkie, and he still kept saying "NO". In December my sister in law called me and told me she and her bestfriend was getting yorkies and that she had one more left, If I wanted one. My heart broke. I wanted one so bad... I thought, and thought, and thought about asking my husband for one for Christmas and then I thought about all the things I'd like to have instead. I thought of all the responcilibilty that went with getting a new puppy(trying to talk myself out of it). Did I want this or not? For two weeks I thought about it and my time was running out for getting one, so I called my sister in law back and ask her to call the breeder and ask her if she had one left and to my surprize, she did. I knew right then, that it was a sign from god that I was to have this puppy, not knowing the love I would immediately experience the minute I seen her sweet little face. All three of us waited for a few more weeks(with anticipation) until we was to get them. OMG, I can't describe the feeling I had when I seen her. She was precious!!! Even though I was the last one to get to choose out of the three that my sister in law and her friend was getting. Mine was the thinner, greyed haired one. (definitely not the prettiest one, but I didn't care) My heart grew a inch when I held her. I literally thought I was going to cry. Then I had to take her home to a hubby that still didn't want another dog, but was letting me anyways
I took her into our home and he fell in love at once, and she hasn't left his side since. I have pics in my album showing proof of this. She is the apple of our eye and has become one of our family members. She is spunky, witty, ambitious, stubborn, happy, mischievous, scrapys bestfriend, and my new baby girl. (in a house with all men). When I've had a bad day at school (school nurse) she is ALWAYS at the door to greet me when I come in, with all kinds of slobbery kisses. She instantly makes my day better. When I get up in the mornings, she is waiting at my door for me to snuggle with her before our day begins. I love her with all my heart and am so thankful I chose her as a Christmas present instead of a new purse or new shoes, etc. She is the gift that will last forever...No one knows how much these special dogs touch your life once you've had the priviledge to have one, until you get one of your own. Anyway I hate that I wrote such a long story, but just wanted to share the story of MY Mia....
