[MyDearSam]

Good luck in your search. When I started looking last summer, my first inclination was always a rescue pup. I was turned down by 6 different groups because my daughter was 2 at the time. I was lucky enough to find a breeder who was understanding.

But honestly, in hindsight, I probably would not have gotten Sam yet. I grew up with Yorkies from the time I was barely walking, so they were just a fact of life growing up. It seems like I just always knew. But dealing with it in my own household, I see what a challenge it must have been for my mom with 3 small children and pups in the house.

Sarah torments Sam at times, not out of meanness, but just because she is too young to understand why she can't take his toys, or pull on him, or wave her hands in his face. Not to even mention the jealousy between the two. If one is in my lap or snuggling on the couch, the other wants to be there. It's a 24/7 battle keeping them both safe and happy.
