I emailed you, but will write a post as well..

I never told anyone this before, but I was in the same boat as you. I was a tad younger- I was 25 not like the age matters 100% but I think it does count.

Probably a week after I brought Peanut home, I was on my way to the breeder to take him back- I was stressed, overwelmened, exhausted, felt resrtrained...

I sat with the breeder, Peanut on my lap. I told her I couldnt take it anymore, he has accidents, he cries at night I am up with him getting 0 sleep, I feel I can't go anywhere bc I didnt want to leave him alone, I told her it was my first dog and I didnt think I could handle it...

She told me she would take him back no problem, but she told me to wait- She said it gets easier, it is a lot of hard work but it does it better-

She told me to look at his face look into to eyes and make the choice, I looked down at him- He put his paw on my arm and looked up at me in the most cutest puppy eyes ever!!

She said look- He put his paw on your arm, I forgot how she explained it ( 5 years ago LOL) but she said he was "Owning me" He is yours now, he just made that choice for you!!

I was kinda confused, I thought no he just put his paw on my arm, that doesnt mean anything- It was really strange. I didnt know how to take it-

She told me to give it another week - after that if I still want to give him back I could.

A week later I was so in love I could have never gave him back!

I am not going to lie, it is hard work- Just as Gemy said.. It does it easier to an extent.

They are living breathing things, they count on us to be there for them 24/7 just as they are for us.

Keeping Peanut was the best choice I have ever made, He is my little side kick, he is always by my side- ( Laying right next to me now all curled up) Yorkies are a breed of their own.

They are there for you when you need them, they make you laugh, they have unconditonal love for you-

All I can tell you is- Give him a chance. It will get better.. Beyond the sleepless nights, the stress of potty training, getting over the chewed up shoes and other items, turing your friends down the night they want to party..

You have a little dog that loves you and will be there for you whenever you need him-
