Hi. I'm not new here but I haven't been back to this forum since 2008. My little yorkie (2 years old at the time) was stolen from me. He was let out in our backyard to do his business and someone came in and took him right in front of my eyes. I don't know if I had been watched and that he was targeted or not. We lived in a gated community with only 10 houses built at the time. I knew all my neighbors and their fur babies. It was totally unexpected. I stayed away from this site because it was too painful for me to come back to this forum.
My husband offered to get me another yorkie puppy but I refused. I didn't want to replace my baby. After all that's what it meant at the time. Getting a new puppy meant replacing Reese (his name was Reese's Buttercup, BTW).
Now 3 years later I decided that it was time for me to let go of what happened. My best friend's babies just had puppies a week and a half ago and she asked if I wanted one. I hesitated but then agreed. I am now a new mother to a 4 oz baby yorkie named Eva Bear. She isn't hear with e yet hut she will when she turns 12 weeks old. I'm so excited!
My friend told me that she couldn't get her Bella registered with AKC. The breeder sold her the puppy 2 years ago with registration papers. When she tried to register, AKC told her that all puppies in the litter have been registered. She basically was lied to and paid 2000 for an AKC dog. Papers doesnt matter to me. I think the funny thing about this is that she said "I feel like I paid for a real Louis Vuitton purse and got a replica."
