Your name: (of course if you're not comfortable giving this, you know that's fine!)

Your Yorkie's name and ages: Carter, 8 months (7/4/04)

Where are you from: Louisiana

What made you decide to buy a Yorkie: My daughter has been begging for quite a few years to have a dog. When my husband finally gave in but with the stipulation that she had to make the honor roll first, I was already hooked on the idea of owning a Yorkie. I convinced him on Christmas Eve to allow me to have a Yorkie pup for my Christmas and birthday present. Ever since I was a young girl, I've wanted a yorkie or a silky. So . . . Carter is my pup.

Have/do you have any other pets: I have a 33 gallon flat-back fresh water aquarium with various types of tetras.

What are your hobbies?: I enjoy working with the university Sports Information Department in game day duties of public relations and statistics. I also enjoy photographing sports action on the junior high, senior high and college level - especially LSU sports.

Are you married/engaged/dating/single?: Married

Does your significant other love Yorkies as much as you?: He resisted a dog for as long as he could but now he loves him just as much as I do!

Do you have any children? If so, what are their ages and how are they doing with your Yorkie?: My daughter is 15 and does real well with Carter. Of course, since its my dog, bathing him, feeding him, taking him out to potty are all my job.

Anything else interesting that will help us to get to know you better?: Carter has become a great source of companionship when my husband is away at work and my daughter is at school or at friends' houses. My husband and I love to travel and do so several times each year.
