The first 2 weeks were absolute he!!, I actually thought I was going to have to send her back. She is my first dog, and I had no idea what to expect, even though I read every thing I could, and how hard it would be to have this little being in my life.

That being said, we got through everything, including the potty training - she is just about 100 percent pee pad trained - and she is the absolute love of my life. She brings me joy, laughter and companionship every day (even though I now have to get up at 7:30 - this is after I get up at 5:00 to let her pee - when I used to be able to get up at 9:00 and get up whenever on the weekends). I can't imagine my life without this beautiful, funny, lovely doggie smelling creature.

SO, for all of you out there who are getting a Yorkie and you think you might lose your mind because this puppy is so willfull and hard to deal with, HANG IN THERE. And believe it or not, once you get through it all, you will think that you should have actually enjoyed, yes enjoyed, all that puupy stuff that you stressed out about. Because our doggies are young one time, so I hope that some of you reading this and thinking they may have made the wrong decision in getting a yorkie puppy, will realize that you CAN get through all the crap and have an amazing, wonderful dog.

This is great, I remember reading your posts and thinking "welcome to my world"...I knew (have had pups in the past) that you would make it through it, I remember thinking what in the heck did I get in etc!

I'm so glad all is well, your a doll!
