what a GREAT question!!!! i can't wait to see all the answers....
Well i wanted a cat (i know. horrible start to the story). My parents are ALWAYS at work in the summer and they were never home... and my bf at the time lived in Guelph and i only saw him on the weekend (guelph is an hour away from here). so i wanted company... an orange cat... well my mom said no... but i knew i wnated SOMETHING... and friends of ours have a yorkie and my mom really liked him (she doens't like dogs). I was close to a "maybe" with her because they don't shed, she could come with us when we travel, and i could take her to guelph with me on the weekends (never happend.. we broke up) So i researched and found one.. and up to the day we drove to get her.. my mom didn't want her.... the second she saw her... she was in love
i was too!
