[BellaDonna]

I personally like all dogs and cats and would have many breeds if I had the space. My husband is lucky I don't have 5 acres in the country!
We live in a very small home and little yard and that is what started me out with a Chihuahua. That love grew and I ended up with several.
One day my husband who is a mobile diesel mechanic was out working on a big ranch and the owners dog was so cute and friendly that he had to stop and play with him. He would fetch for days! Anyway my hubby came home telling me about this dog. He doesn't know breeds from shinola. When he described him I realized he was describing a Yorkie. I had always wanted a Yorkie when I was younger but never had the $$$ to get one. Anyway over a 3 year period we kept talking about the Yorkies and the rest is history. I caught the hubby in a weak moment and he let me get another dog and our Bella came into our lives. We have had her now for about 5 weeks and she is a wonderful addition to the family. She is small enough to mingle well with the Chihuahua's and yet has a distinctive difference.
By the way I am glad I didn't get her when I was younger because when I had children it might have become tiresome to keep her bathed and groomed. They do take upkeep, but at my age now (over 50) I don't begrudge the time it takes to take care of her.
