Sometimes people are lucky and have a family friend or relative that gives them a yorkie for free. But, not everyone is so lucky. The cost of living went up with everything else. My parents paid $400 for Lacey in 1992. That is what the prices were back then. I am going to make this as cheap as a Christmas as possible. Then, I am going to go look for another better paying job. $6.55 an hour is not going to cut it. But, I can't bail on my employer this close to the Christmas holidays. Hopefully I can finally get out of retail when the holidays end. Been trying to get on at the vets but any decent paying full time office job will do. I will keep putting my money down little by little. And even spend most of my income tax money on a yorkie if I have to. This breed has just totally won my heart over. Most people just want a yorkie because they are so adorable. With me, that it is not the case. They are the most adorable dogs to me. But, it is just everything about them. Their personality, I could just go on and on. And a dog does take a lot of love and devotion. If that dog gets sick, you don't turn your back on the dog like some people do. When Lacey got sick with kidney failure, I was there for her. I helped out my mom a lot with her. By giving her medicine twice a day, pleading with her to eat even though she did not want to. My mom could not get her to eat, but somehow I always managed to get her to eat. Driving her to the vet 3 times a week for a fluid shot even though I was always in tears afterwards. It took a lot of time and money. My mom had to take out a loan because the blood test on her kidneys to get a diagnosis cost in the hundreds. But, if I had to do it all over again, I would. Lacey was my life. And when I get my Chloe, she will be my life; too. Even though once I move out, she will be with my parents. It will still be awhile before I can move out my parents house anyway because I really need to save up. My mom wants the yorkie more than anything too. Even when I move out, I will have to find a place that accepts pets, because I will probably end up getting a yorkie of my own. That is how much I love this breed.
