Thank you all for the warm welcoming
Is it normal that I am so excited, I almost look for an excuse to call the breeder, I don't know what that's about, just anxious I suppose.
I didn't get to feel this way about our lab, Charlie. He was originally for my 17 year old stepson, and eventually he (being the teenager that he is) was just going out too often and neglecting Charlie, my husband and I soon took over, Charlie was 5 months old at the time.
For the first few months I tried not to get too close to Charlie, the idea that 3 or 4 years down the road our stepson would move out and take him scared me. Needless to say when my husband and I took over, I went all in. Now I adore Charlie and find comfort that he will grow old with us. My stepson, now in college, just comes and goes now and knows he made a poor choice and will have to someday start over again with a pup of his own. I wouldn't change anything, my stepson had pleaded with me that he never had a pet of his own and I sweet talked his dad into getting him a dog. My husband at the time was a bit pessimistic and in his heart knew his son wouldn't be responsible, it all worked out and I couldn't be more grateful.
Sorry for the rambling, thought a little bit of history might be useful in aiding my YAAD (yorkie arrival anxiety disorder). Thanks again everyone
