Thank you, Tracy. We lost our Yorkie, Lola, in June on the heels of losing our Pomeranian, Bunny, in March. We did everything we could to save them both with no luck in the end. It is still so heartbreaking for me.
We lucked out when we bought Lola. Back then I grabbed the newspaper, found an ad and went out and bought her. The lady who sold her turned out not to be her breeder and said she would only get to be about 3 pounds. What did I know?
Well, she kept growing and averaged about 5.5-6.5 pounds but I didn't care. She turned out to have such a pretty round face and the happiest, spunkiest personality.
We only had her for 8 years- not nearly long enough. She developed Cushing's from a massive pituitary tumor and declined so rapidly after Bunny passed away.
I just started looking a few weeks ago on a whim, not thinking I would be ready. When I came across the one pup I mentioned, I fell in love and was ready to hop on a plane then and there. After the breeder's litany of excuses for not being able to send me an updated picture of the puppy and hesitancy about disclosing info on the sire I began searching the web again.
I never thought it possible to be both over and underwhelmed at the same time, but I am. Overwhelmed by so much research in such a short time and underwhelmed by what I have found. |
