It is wonderful to hear Buffy did well and is going to be 13, that is great !!! It is helping me to hear there are other Yorkies who have been spayed a little older the "required". I know Pepper will do good. She is so healthy and it is hard for me to keep up with her sometimes, LOL . We go this Thursday to have a check up, talk to my vet and have her blood drawn. ~nervous~ 
 
@TwoforFun - Thank you, i know i will need a hand holding when the day comes (prob. this month) . I will hold yours too, LOL !! I too have a younger female (Chloe) she is smaller as well..... yeah i will freak out with her too. I actually delivered her and she has been with me since birth so she is VERY sheltered 

 i am all she has ever known and has never been alone. I have created a monster

. LOL
