Thank you all for the compliments. Teddy stole my heart the moment I met him.
Very long story short...My Dad's neighbor has a Yorkie, named Daisy. Daisy's dad died in October, 2010, and she became VERY close with my Dad. Her mommy would leave for work, and *BAM!* out the doggie door she went, headed towards my dads house. (They live at the lake in a country environment.) Every day her and my Dad would hang out all day. My dad was lonely and she missed her daddy.
My Dad was very sick himself, so in July and again in December I went and spent several weeks with him, to take care of him, etc. Daisy was always there watching my Dad, and bonding with me and my little boy. She brought me SO MUCH comfort during my Dads final days this past December.
I begged her Mommy to let me adopt her...to which her reply was not in a million years.
I decided to get a Yorkie in honor of my Dad, who loved Daisy SO much. I found a breeder close to his house, and about 6 weeks after my Dad passed away, we adopted Teddy.
I don't love him for his coat...I love him because he's sweet, gentle, snuggly, and he brings me comfort and reminds me of my Dad.
He's exactly what I was looking for. I know my Dad led me to him.
