Your Name: Rachel

Your Yorkie's Name & Age: Kodah - she was born 1/22/05 Hope to pick her up from breeder next weekend (Easter!)

Where Are You From: Edmond, Oklahoma (Just north of Oklahoma City)

What Made You Decide To Buy A Yorkie: In 1988, our family wanted an inside dog. At that time we had a Lab & Siamese cat. I knew that I would be the one to have to clean up after inside dog so I wanted the smallest cutest puppy available. Talked husband into Yorkie for $350 which was just unheard of to pay that much for a pet! Mocha was a great pet - passed away at 15 1/2 in 2004. After ten months, we purchased another Yorkie! (Wish I could have found one for $350!

!)

Have/Do You Have Any Other Pets: No. We want to add another puppy to raise alongside Kodah - we are considering either another Yorkie or maybe a Maltese. Have located a breeder who will have new litters of both the end of this month.

What Are Your Hobbies: Have always had a passion for photography. I love to take pictures & also love to look at others' pictures! Along those lines I have learned to "photoshop" on computer & usually print all of my own pictures. I love to jog everyday (except Sunday - my one day off!) - helps me stay in shape & clear my mind. Like to read & spend time with family! I'm the youngest (even though I will be 49 this summer) of 11 & most of my brothers & sisters live close. My mom, 87, is still in very good health & lives only a couple of miles away.

Are You Married: Yes, 28 years this June! We were highschool sweethearts!

Does Your Significant Other Love Yorkies As Much As You: Probably not, mainly because Mocha was such a "mama's dog"! He does have a soft heart for pets, though, & is excited about getting Kodah!

Do You Have Any Children: Three. Son will be 26 in a couple of weeks, graduated from Univ of OK & is a computer programmer; daughter just turned 24 & graduated last year - she was a cheerleader at OU for 2 years - looking to be a school teacher; and daughter, 20, is a sophomore at University of Central OK - she was an elite gymnast until 15 & traveled all across the US & even went to China on the US Women's Team! (Proud mom, huh

) They are all three sooooooo excited about getting Kodah even though they are all out of the house - girls share an apartment & son lives in Norman, OK. Our son was probably the closest to Mocha for 15 years! We always spend Sundays together at our house with their friends and the girls are in & out of the house during the week - they hope next Sunday to have Kodah joining us!

Anything Else Interesting That Will Help US Get To Know You: Not really, I'm a pretty simple person. I love God; my family is the most important thing to me; & I love learning about people!
