I have an 11 year old German Shepherd and a 5 year old Rat Terrier. My husband and I know that Bella (the Rat Terrier) is going to grieve when our sweet Julia crosses the Rainbow Bridge eventually. We thought it would be good to get a new baby so that when the time comes, which we hope will be a long time off still, it might not be so hard for her. I have always wanted a Yorkie but could never afford one. The hubby told me he would buy me one for my birthday in October. So I started making up a list of possible names and started my research.
Well one night I was unable to sleep and was searching for breeders within a certain range. When I came across this site that had the most precious face I had ever seen!!! So I did what any wife would do at around 1:00 in the morning...I woke up my husband begging to get this beautiful baby boy now because he'd be gone by October, right?!? Lol And in his deep stupor he agrees.
Two weeks later we make a road trip traveling 4 hours. He is AKC registered, up to date on his shots and is micro-chipped. He has the most playful and loving personality. We were at the vet today for our next set of vaccinations and he weighs 2.75 lbs at 15 weeks and is doing great. The vet believes he will weigh between 6 & 7 lbs when he reaches his full weight.
Sorry for running on. I'm still so excited to have him. I never thought I would. But at 51 years old, he's all mine. I'm also disabled so he is such a great distraction for my pain.
Well...that's our story and this site has been so helpful to me. I'm so glad I found it. It's like finding new friends. Thanks everyone!!!
