I LOVE LOVE LOVE my screen name. I won't bore you guys with all of the details, but Chattie is my second Yorkie. My first baby died prematurely at the young age of seven years from a very rare brain disorder. My grief was such that it was almost 5 years before I was ready to open my heart to another Yorkie. She was supposed to be "Ewok" or "Gremlin" or any number of other names that I had preselected.
Well on the way home with her in my arms, Chattie named herself -- she made the most adorable sounds - almost like she was chatting with me -- she has always been a chattie little sweetheart. So she became Chattie and I became Chattiesmom. I am known far and wide on the forum and in "real life" as Chattiesmom. I answer to Cindy and/or Chattiesmom equally well
