I've always wanted a Yorkie, I think they're so cute and perfect for my lifestyle. They don't shed! My ex got me a Yorkie a long time ago from Petland. She turned out to have Distemper which was very heartbreaking. I cried over her for weeks even though I only had her for a week. He got her for me thinking it would "fix" our failing relationship but it only made it worse.
A year later I have a new boyfriend. I always played with our friend's Yorkie and he knew I wanted one. He's been searching classifieds and petfinder for a while looking for the perfect Yorkie. He stumbled upon one very close to us and he asked me to go shopping with him. It was Black Friday, I thought he was insane. So we drove out to D.C., parked and walked around. Then I saw a lady standing around the corner with a Yorkie on a leash. I thought he was so cute, timid, but very cute. Then my boyfriend walked up to her and introduced himself as well as me. It really didn't hit me until we got into the car that he had just gotten me a puppy. We spoke to the lady, she's a student at a university who just doesn't have time for a puppy but says he's well behaved. We left to go to the car then I went back to ask her a question and she was balling. I would be too if I were in her shoes. It was such an awkward moment, I just told her we'll email her once he gets settled and walked back to my car. He cried for nearly 15 minutes in the car, it's like he knew he was being taken away. We went to the pet store to get a few things then went home and he just fell asleep on my lap. He was about 3 months old when I got him. He just turned 8 months today. We had a rough first couple months with him and still have slip-ups every now and then but I wouldn't trade him for the world.
