I have always wanted a yorkie, but for many years didnt want to commit to a puppy.
I lost my father in Oct 08 and lost my mother 5 years prior. I was devestated...

It didnt help that we live in Japan and I am so far from family.
I kept telling my husband soon after coming back from my daddys funeral that I wanted a puppy. He blew me of because I would see them in the puppy store ....goo goo gaa gaa over them and be done.
On New Years eve, I told my husband lets go look at puppies! We went and there she was...they had one...she was so tiny(they have them for sale at 6 weeks here, and I know now, puppy stores are not good, but I didnt know where else to find one here on Japan) I asked to hold her and she licked me and cuddled in my arms. I was hooked..lol
We didnt get her that day, but I bugged my husband for the next week to go get her for me.

His thing was...there will be others. But I didnt want just any puppy...I wanted her. So a week later I went back and she was still and there and I bought her. She has brought my family and I such happiness. I know she was meant to be with us. I bought her using some of my inheritence monies...and have no regrets...I believe my parents were there with me that day, and thats why I have my Bella!
I am the youngest of 6 children and they are much older than me. My sisters informed me after buying Bella that my mother always wanted a yorkie. She always wanted a "pocket" puppy...now I have one for her
