I was a cat person. I had never had a dog in my entire life but I was always an animal lover. I fell in love with the breed when I started dog sitting my neighbor's yorkie. My neighbor travelled alot with her job and for some reason I was the only person she trusted with her yorkie. I guess she saw how I paid so much attention to my cat, she felt that I would do the same for her yorkie. Boy was she right. The first time I dog sat, Jasmine (my neighbor's yorkie) was wearing me out.
My neighbor had bought all of her toys over and all Jasmine wanted to do was play. My the end of the week, I was thoroughly and completely head over heels in love with Jasmine. She had me wrap around her little paws. From that moment on, I guess you can say my neighbor and I sort of started sharing Jasmine. She knew that I would take good care of Jasmine and she started letting Jasmine spend the day with me even when she wasn't travelling.
Well my neighbor moved away to another city and I missed Jasmine so much that I started searching for my own yorkie. I now have Brandi, she was 7 yrs old when I got her and she is now the love of life. I wish Brandi and Jasmine could of met each other. Maybe one day they will. I still do miss Jasmine very much but she is very well taken care of and I don't have to worry about her.
It is true, they chose you. Brandi selected me to be her caretaker.....little stinker
