I got divorced in 1997 ...had to leave my house and couldn't take ANY of my pets with me. My former husband moved back into our house and kept all of them. I was in an apartment for 2 yrs...NO PETS was in the lease...broke my heart...I don't ever remember a time in my life I didn't have a pet. I remarried and we bought a house My new husband didn't want any pets...However I did take my Maine Coon boy back from my former husband...I HAD to have a dog...My girls (skin) were all grown up and I need something to hold cuddle..I finally convinced my hubby to get a dog...he said nothing too big and one that doesn't shed...I was all for the no shedding...as I have allergies...(don't care! still am an animal lover and will always have 1..or 2...or more! LOL)..So I started the search and research....I finally came up with Yorkies...I knew NOTHING about this breed before I started researching them...bought books, asked questions, read all I could on line...I worked with a woman that had had a yorkie pup...unfortunately she fell asleep with the puppy on her and she rolled over on him...very sad...She told me about the woman she got him from...she lives the next town over from me...I called and spoke with her and she told me that she just bred one of her yorkies...and if she was pregnant I would get pick of the litter!! ...that's how we got Sadie...Hubby said only one dog...well...I convinced him that Sadie needed a playmate...even thought she would spend the day with my parents while we were working...she was still alone....Finally convinced him and about 2 yrs later...we got Lillie!!...Our Maine Coon boy took his journey over rainbow bridge the monday before Thanksgiving...It was heart breaking for both of us...I was researching Rag doll Cats...they are GORGEOUS!! Hubby said where the furgirls are not cat friendly he didn't feel that was a good idea...He would rather another dog! Well...he didn't have to say that to me twice!! started searching for breeders in my area...I spoke with, emailed several breeders...took me a few weeks before I found the right one!! and she just happens to be a featured breeder here on YT...we spoke a few times on the phone and the week later we got Bentley!! he is ADORABLE!! a little stinker sometimes! but ADORABLE!!
