My first little boy Prince was bought from a friend of mine who did not breed but she had a male and female and about once every couple years she let them have a litter. I lost Prince and felt like I lost my heart. He was my special boy.
My girl Pixie was bought, unknowingly from a puppy mill. They told me she was 12 weeks old and when I got her registration papers I discovered they sold her to me when she was 4 1/2 weeks old!! She will be 10 in February. She has been thru alot and is still just such a good girl. Love her to death
My second little boy Theo, was Prince's son and the lady who adopted him decided I needed him more than she did after I lost Prince. I lost him almost a year ago. I still cry for him at times. He got me through some pretty dark times in my life. I would have moved heaven and earth to save him.
Romeo, I got from a very good friend of mine. She used to breed. I lost him when he was 2 1/2, we believe he got into some antifreeze while we were out on a walk. Completely rocked my world and devestated me. My husband was actually very concerned about my mental well being when we lost him. I am not certain why that one in particular hit me so hard. My other boys, it devestated me but I could still function, with Romeo it took me months just to function again.
Nya, I rescued and fostered and hubby decided we just could not let her go. We were told she was 8 when I rescued her and the longer she was here the more my husband and I suspected she was either a very old 8 or she was older than that. Talked to my vet and he estimates her at about 12-14. She really is a great dog. We have had her since May and she has never ever once had an accident in the house. She wont even use pee pads, if she is not outside I swear she would rather explode than pee in the house. She is very much a daddy's girl. She lives to love and be loved and to please you seems like all she wants is love and to please her family.
I got Jake from a lady here at YT. She had read how devestated I was when the little foster "Romeo" kept being promised to me only to have the other foster mom keep changing her mind. I had also wrote how my arms ached for another little boy and then I got the best email I have ever gotten in my life, the email in which she asked me if I was interested in a little yorkie boy. I told her definately I was and she checked my vet reference and told me I could start making arrangements for the trip to get him. I barely slept the rest of that week because of the excitement. I will always remember when we pulled up and all got out of our cars and I saw him for the first time. Love at first sight!!! Funny story, Jake and I bonded on the drive home, and this baby cries when I leave to go to work each morning or anytime he cannot see me. If I am bathing he has to be in the bathroom with me, If I am sitting at the computer or watching tv...you guessed it he is on my lap. Always wants to be in my arms, so much so that I recently had to go buy a front carrier for him because I have not gotten much done in the past couple months since I got him because he is always in my arms.....spoiled? Uhm yes!!!
