[Gray]

Hi everyone! My name is Gray, and I first joined YT over 3 years ago (December '05). I have been learning, and thinking about taking this step for all of this time. The MOST valuable thing that YT provided me with, was the ability to locate Breny!!! After the FIRST visit to her website, and reading even just the first couple of posts from new owners who had gotten their Yorkie pups from Breny, there was never a doubt in my mind, that she would be the mom from whom we would be obtaining our Yorkie!

So a few Friday nights ago, I somewhat nervously picked up the phone, and introduced myself to Breny. We talked for a long time, but after only a few minutes, I knew that I had made the right decision as far as who to adopt our new baby girl from! Breny knew just the right questions to ask, in order to guide me toward the new little girl who would be the absolute BEST match for us! By the end of that first phone call, we were on our way!!!

My wife and I became empty-nesters in August. She has been a little hesitant on taking this significant step (it has been many years since we owned a Cairn terrier mix who was THE spitting image of Toto!). I have reassured her that our new little daughter will not impinge on our new-found travel freedom ( you can't go away by yourselves with a teenager in the house, as I am sure some of you know!), because I bought this wonderful little carrier, and we will just take her with us everywhere!

I will be taking point on training, feeding, trips to the vet, etc., but there is not a doubt in my mind that the moment my wife lays eyes on our little girl, she will fall as madly in love with her as I already have!!! I mean, look at the pictures Breny has been so kind to provide - how could you not???

If we hadn't had this out-of-country trip planned for the last year, we would have likely already picked her up. However, March 7th will be exactly 12 weeks from her birthday, and from what I have been reading, that time in her birth surroundings, and with her birth mom, looks to be about the ideal time, so I think everything is working out close to ideally!

I will tell you her name when we pick her up - I don't THINK it will change between now and then, but that way, just in case it does, there won't be any confusion! I am looking forward to documenting everything, starting right from Breny's house, through our 6 hour ride home (well, more with frequent pit stops!), to our little girl's new digs. So I guess I better learn how to post pics!

Thank you so much for all the wonderful compliments on our new little girl - it is certainly a wonderful testimony to Breny's breeding choices and abilities, but far more than that, to the LOVE she showers on her new little puppies, the wonderful food she feeds them (which I am totally continuing her on, BTW), and the wonderful home she provides them with for these first critical months of their lives!

It is amazing to me how attached I have become already - my heart melts every time I look at her pictures, and into those beautiful clear and dark little eyes! I feel very blessed that everything has come together the way it has, and I am really looking forward to providing a wonderful life for our little girl! Talk with you soon - Gray
