At 19 I became anorexic and went from a healthy 9.5 stone to just 6. We got our first yorkie Rambo for my mom but he bonded with me, probably knew I needed him, and he kept me going. Then at 21 I decided I wanted to try showing and brought my Myshkha. That forced me to go out and interact with more people and I finally grew in confidence. Looking back my dogs probably saved my life and they continue to give me a reason to keep going even on dark days. I have constant low-level pain in my neck from a car accident but most days they're all the pain relief I neednI tried living without them after I lost Chloe but a year of that and it was driving me crazy, thats never going to happen again, long live the Yorkie.
