I am new to the site and figured I'd introduce myself. I am 40 yrs old living in Carrington North Dakota all the way from the great state of Texas. Been here now 6 yrs. I have a 5 yr old son an 11 yr old Step daughter, 6 yr old black block head lab, 2yr old Schichon, 4 yr old Congo African Grey, 9 yr old Quaker Parrot and a soon to be 7 month old Yorkie named Bella

Bella came into my life not to long ago when I had posted an ad on a local site seeking either a mini pin or yorkie pup. I was contacted by a lady who told me she had a 5 month old female yorkie whose parents are 5 and 7 pounds. She also informed me that she was a breeder of yorkies and aussie's. She continued on explaining that Bella made number 6 and do to their work and so forth it was best to rehome her she sent me 2 photos. When I first seen the pup I thought to myself she was rather "big" for a yorkie. Coloration is that of a yorkie but she to me was "big". I did however agree to meet with the woman and meet Bella. When I met Bella I thought once again she was to big to be 5 months of age. The woman stood holding Bella telling me how friendly to other animals she was and that housebreaking was in progress and how great Bella was with kids. She also was smoking and the smoke was blowing in Bella's face, she was matted around her mouth and regardless of size and the fact she wasnt the cute tiny yorkie I had dreamed of I took her just to get her away from someone who had no respect for her. I did ask about shots, if she had been to a groomer and so forth.

I took Bella to the vet within 3 days and as expected she is not 5 months but closer to 7. I can stay outside with her or put her out with the other dogs (often) with her cute sweaters on to keep her warm for 10-15 minutes (weather permitting) and regardless she will come into the house and pee and drop a duce or two. And she is 9.2 pounds!! I attempted to brush her the day I brought her home after a bath which left the tub full of a ton of dirt and she acted as though I was going to harm her, and I wont even go into how she freaks out at the sight of trimmers or scissors. I put her in a create at night and when I am not home to prevent her from relieving herself all over the place. I have attempted to view the pdf file in the behavioral issues section but it doesnt come up. I am truly at a loss with this little girl. So I hope that y'all can help because my other half is not at all thrilled with her "surprises"
