I had Duster, a little 3lb. Maltese for about 10 years and when I lost her I couldn't bring myself to get another dog. 6 months after I lost Duster, we lost my mom. I was very depressed. After we lost my mom, my dad sold the house and bought a motorhome, felt like I was losing my dad too. Well, right before we lost my mom, dad was
thinking of getting a dog. He finally did and he got a Yorkie. I fell in love with Jaa Arr. So after about a year I decided I was ready for a dog. So, of course I got a Yorkie. After having Pepper for just a few days, I wondered how I ever lived without him in my life.
Hope my rambling makes some sense.
