[DaisyMom]

Hi everyone!

Yep, I have been a posting-but-still-lurking member for a while now. I hesitated to introduce myself because I kept thinking that my addiction to Yorkie Talk was a reflection of the novelty of my new puppy. Out of respect for others, I wanted to make sure I was going to stay involved if I got involved, does that make sense? Well, I can’t tell you how much I look forward to reaching for my computer these days! There are so many knowledgeable, supportive, and compassionate people on this website; I can’t imagine not visiting with you all regularly any more than I can imagine life without my new baby, Daisy.

I live in Kansas City, and am a stay-at-home Mom with a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work. I have had pets my entire life……an ever constant cat presence, plus a Golden Retriever and Yorkie. First the Golden passed away, then we lost precious little Zeus just over a year ago. We were finally emotionally ready to adopt Daisy recently (born on 6/9/09). She joins our current household of myself (age 43), my daughter, Katie (age 11), 3 cats (traditional Siamese-Rosie, Maine Coon-Boots, and Persian-Snowflake), plus an adorable Chinchilla (Wilbur).

Daisy is a tiny little girl, 1.7 lbs when she came ‘home’ at 13 weeks. This may sound odd, but I picked her specifically because she has an irregular, non-standard color pattern on her face…..she could be my Zeus’ little sister. That cute white chin, white chest, soft fur, and round tummy are just awesome! Who can explain true love, huh?

New puppy and friends are all doing really well right now……playing, potty training….and boy, do Daisy and I love to shop for doggie supplies together, both on and off the internet! Help!

I am really looking forward to getting to know all of you guys. ☺
