A year ago this past September, my husband had to have 6 by-pass surgery.... it was extremely stressful as he was told he can have no more by-passes and will need a heart transplant if he gets into trouble again. We have tried to change a lot of things in our lives... like slowing down and smelling the roses. We went on a 3 week holiday to Hawaii... came home and I still felt like we needed something more to ground us more. I had heard that a pet is very healthy for a person... so I started looking for a puppy... I had looked at yorkies for quite awhile on the internet and finally picked one.. only a few days old... she passed away at 5 weeks old. I was so devastated that my husband said keep looking and we found her... she came to us at 12 weeks and we have never looked back! She has so made us giggle... My husband who was macho and said he wasn't all that interested... is so funny now... almost a complete reversal... he has so much fun with her as well!
