She was a real timid girl and afraid of everything so the rescue kept her in foster for about 3 months before trying to find her a home. She didn't like anybody who applied to adopt her, and she would even sometimes bark her head off at people.
I came to meet her, and she was wary at first, but she didn't bark. She just stood near her foster mom for about 10-15 minutes and looked at me. The foster started telling me again about how much this Yorkie didn't like anybody, and she would bark and/or run away from people, and at that moment my Yorkie came right over to me with no prompting and leaned up against my arm (I was laying on the floor). She wouldn't move from there for at least 10 minutes. The foster was amazed. I visited my Yorkie a few times over a couple of months before she was able to come home. The holidays got in the way and made the process a little longer than it should have been.
I'm just learning about Yorkies. I've had different kinds of dogs in the past, but I've never had a Yorkie. My little girl has a little Chihuahua so we know about tiny dogs. The two dogs are getting along well so far.
What color is my Yorkie? I just learned that they can be different colors. I am planning on letting her hair grow out long or at least longer than what it is right now. http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...ofIMG_2677.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...ofIMG_2676.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...ofIMG_2659.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...ofIMG_2657.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/a...ofIMG_2653.jpg | Sparrow is BEAUTIFUL and her former parent's loss is YOUR GAIN! She is quite a model for the camera. God bless you both and I wish Sparrow and long and healthy life with you.
