We got our first Yorkie, Lexi (8 years ago) by my accidentally stumbling across an old ad. I called the lady and she said she had a puppy but wasn't sure about selling it. We had to fill out an application and it took several weeks before she allowed us to purchase her after checking ALL of our references. Lexi is 3.5 pounds and is "Mommy's" furbaby.
Our second little girl , Cricket, was one year old when we got her (she is now 8). She is a tiny (2.5 lbs) little thing. Her brother was killed by an owl while outside and the person who owned them had small children and was worried about her getting snatched up, too. That is how we were able to purchase her. Cricket is "Daddy's" furbaby.
Our third Yorkie, Festus Dillon, came to us from a friend. We were asked to adopt him because they didn't feel that they had the time to devote to him. We really didn't want to take on another Yorkie, but he has now been with us for 2 years and he is the best furbaby ever! Festus is "Mommy and Daddy's" furbaby.
We live in the country and none of our 3 have ever been outside without one of us with them. I must say though, there is not an owl one that could take off with 10 lb Festus!!!! |
