This little girl commanded attention and had a hairem of followers in her trails....I became one.
12 years ago I purchased my first yorkie and she had my heart from day one. Now as a breeder of Yorkies I will tell you each one tugs at your heart strings when you let them go to their new homes....some you just watch leave and silently weep later, some leave and you grin knowing that that was the home for that baby, and once in a while one leavies and you are a blubbering fool the whole time (more often than I care to mention)  So welcome to the Yorkie club...like Lays potato chips..you can't have just one!! |
Oh Dear Lord don't tell my hubby that! We are (or should I say were big dog folks),my ascent into Yorkie love, started innocently enough. I was going to my trainer with our big boy Magic, and she breds and also trains Yorkies. Well after almost three years of watching them work, play, their fearless personality, their joi de vivre, one of her little girls just jumped up into my lap oneday gave me hugs n kisses, settle down for a good nap. I got "bit"-after all I wanted an agility dog, why not a Yorkie? Hubby thought I was nutso.
After we got our pup, we spent almost three months in mild to moderate panic we would hurt that little tyke. We learnt the Yorkie shuffle. Hubby who says No dogs on furniture, no dogs on the bed, no sissy wussy clothes for him, no treating him like a "small dog", has been the Worst spoiler around. I even have pics in my album to prove it. Razz climbs up on the bed with him, he picks Razz up to "put him on his lap" ahem, razz sleeps on the couch, and Dad's best leather chair with only his head on Dad's lap. The other day I caught him with Razz on his lap at the kitchen table, feeding him a treat!.
As far as clothes go, he has now learnt to wrap Razz, put on his wrapping jacket, in winter time his booties, and his winter jacket. He even said to me, hon is summertime now, I think Razz has grown out of his jacket, look for some sales on winter stuff and get him some more clothes!
He even said well the next Yorkie we get..... I had my mouth open, he thinks Razz should have a playmate more his size!. that will have to wait until we have our country property though.
I love my big dogs, and I thought I could have only one heart dog in my life, but Razz has proven that thought completely wrong.
