I always had horses and cats,a few dogs growing up but I never really bonded with them because they were outside pets.When I met my hubby he loved Shiba Inus so we rescued one from a Puppy Mill in Mo. We drove hours to get him and loved him so much,but he prefered being outside more than inside(he only comes in when it rains or it is cold outside).When we heard about another raid on a Puppy Mill in Arthur we were quick to respond that we were interested in adopting one.When we got to the Shelter the manager showed us three chis.One was very old she was so cute and the other two were in quarateen.They showed too much aggression and at that time were not adoptable.Long story short the oldest one passed in surgery and I cried like a baby.Then the manager gave me the other two I paid half price for both.I loved them so much and all the abuse they went through tore me up.I had them for 8 months and they had improved so much but still not 100% dogs.They just didn't understand how to bark and play.So my daughter asked me why don't we just get a puppy.After convincing Dad we needed just one more we started looking for a certain type,you know an inside dog.My Aunt found out and she called and had two males left from her very last liter she was going to have.She gave us a good deal on him and we adopted him.We had to drive to Indiana to get him and we took all our dogs with us that day.We never had a puppy just always rescued adult dogs so it was so different.We all took turns holding him and all the dogs sniffed him.We felt complete.
Jasper has brought so much laughter in our already happy home.He loves to entertain.He is so smart and knows his name and sit and lay and come.We were blessed with a healthy little boy who also taught our Chis to play.The first time I watched them all playing I cried and cried.I was in the kitchen and the kids were still in bed.I let all the dogs out of there dens.Jasper started barking and chasing them.The next thing was amazing my chis started to bark and wag there tails.They were wagging there tails and tongues hanging out.They were taking turns chasing each other.I can't explain the joy completely but Jasper was what we needed in our home.A little puppy who is so full of love.I love my little Yorkie and now we want another in a few years.We have Yorkie fever.
