Great Thread.
My name is Lissette
I am 52
Lost my mother from Breast Cancer in 1980 and became a walking dead zombie.
Married a college friend despite what my father and brother warned me against. Married to him for 7 years. Have 2 daughters from this marriage.
I endured lots of Physical and emotional abuse from my ex, including black eyes bruses and fractured ribs. Finally got strong, grabbed a credit card and my daughters went to a divorce lawyer and a womens shelter.
Two years later met the man of my dreams, David. We have a very balanced and stong relationship. I am the fun loving airhead and he is solid as a rock conservative. lol. We have another daughter and have been married now for 18 years.
I feel everything in life will make you a stronger person. Everyday I wake up and thank God for this precious life he gave me. I found my Zest in life!
I started showing Yorkies almost one year ago.
I also have a wonderful Yorkie mentor who is 83 and her husband is 92. Every Sunday and Monday I clean her kennel and groom her dogs. She has taught me so much including patients. She sits ringside when I am showing and tells me how to improve. She has been an Yorkshire Exhibitor since 1970 and knows everyone. She is one of my best friends. My other best friend is in California, Mardelin. Mary has more passion for this breed than anyone I have ever met. I have learned so much from her too.
Here are some pictures of me and my family!
