Hi everyone! I really hope that I am posting this in the right place! LOL

My name is Kelly and I live in Jacksonville, Florida. I had a Yorkie that passed about a year and a half ago. His name was Casey and he was the sweetest little boy in the whole world. Ever since then I've missed having a Yorkie. We now have a Bassethound named Molly. She's a sweetheart too, but not one for cuddling!

My mother passed away recently and she had a Yorkie from the same litter as my Casey. Her name is Raini. My Stepfather doesn't think that he can take care of her and we also think that she's missing my Mom a lot. I sound a lot like my Mom and we wore the same perfume and I've noticed that every time I've gone over to my stepfather's house recently she's been very loving towards me and wanting me to hold her and play with her. So as of today, Raini will be coming to live at my home with me, my fiancee, his 9 year old daughter, Molly the Basset and three cats. This won't be the first time that Raini will be around other animals. My parents had a mixed breed dog that Raini grew up with, so she's used to other animals.

Because my Mom was sick for a while before she passed, I'm not sure how long it's been since Raini had a checkup. So I'm taking her to Molly's Vet (who we love sooo much) and I'm going to have a complete physical done for her. I also noticed that she hasn't been brushed well lately and her little fur is matted. So I'm afraid that I'm going to have to have her cut close and then let her hair grow back out.

I admit that I'm a little nervous because of Raini's age. She just turned 10 and I know that things are going to be very different for her. But I'm hoping that she'll like living with us and everyone gets a long well together. I am excited though, because I love the Yorkie breed and Raini was my mom's "princess", and it makes me miss my Mom a little less to have Raini with me.

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. And feel free to pass along any advice. I have a feeling I'm going to need it!

Thanks,
Kelly aka MollyRainiMommy
