Congratulations on cutting your teeth as a first-time dog owner. It sounds like it was a rough start, and I'm glad you're doing well now.
I could sort of relate. My first experience with a yorkie was dog-sitting my friend's yorkie. I never owned a dog before. That yorkie had all sorts of behavioral and medical problems. I dog-sat that dog for weeks and long weekends at a time. But guess what? All the trouble was worth it. That yorkie was so dang loveable. I cried every time I returned the dog back to the owner.
Because of that yorkie, I fell in love with the breed. Now I have my own yorkie. She is a light in my life.
Incidentally, my yorkie doesn't have the problems my friend's yorkie had. But her yorkie will always have a special place in my heart. In a way, he was my first yorkie. |
