We talked back and forth with the breeder for weeks while we were in Missouri and had located her in Georgia. We were planning a trip to Alabama and were to go over and take a look at the three babies ... never dreaming she would actually sell us one. We could sometimes hear little yorkies "yipping" in the background when we talked to Ava on the phone ... such a sweet sound!
Shortly after we drove down, we set up a meeting at Dr. Lucy's when she was bringing yorkies over there for a vet visit. We had already visited at Dr. Lucy's a couple of times and asked a bzillion questions. We went down ... met Ava and after she met us ... finally brought the first baby out!!! THAT was my baby Toto! I was speechless ... no matter how many thousand pictures you look at and how much you read and study about them ... there is absolutely nothing like that "first" look! The first time I held her in my arms I got tears in my eyes ... I have never known such a feeling!! She just immediately stole our hearts! We didn't even look at the other two!! Ava wanted to keep her for several more weeks ... I thought I would die if I had to wait!! After LOTS more discussion we finally convinced her that we would be able to care for her, financially and otherwise and we have been looking at that little face ever since!! That first look is just beyond words!!!
