Well Seeing as my mom isn't on yorkie talk ill speak for her LOL! We started out always having just two dogs. I Had a pickagenese (sp) (she was VERY MEAN!) and a Sheltie. My mom had always wanted a dog that didn't shed, so I convinced her to get a yorkie. We ended up with Star and Shadow. (sisters) They wanted NOTHING to do with my dad seeing as the pickagenese was my dads dog. She was very aggressive to anyone or anything that got near him. even if it was me or my mom. Last fall we lost Sheeba (pickagenese) to a teenage kid ( hit and run, left her in the road, my dad found her) He was DEVISTATED! Ironically the girls melted his heart and they follow him EVERYWHERE! they even sit on the back of the couch and whine and cry until he pay attention to them. Me and my mother decided to get a boy yorkie .. unfourtunatly for my dad we couldn't decide between two males.. so we got both of them.. (thunder & Lightning ) Thunder is my moms baby and Lightning is mine. (the sheltie is mine as well, shes my baby since I was 13, im 25 now) All of them are attached to my dad. He refused to get attached to them for WEEKS! until he started taking naps on the couch and he would wake up to a herd of yorkies on him. Hes gotten to where he has to share everything with them. His drinks, his food, his blankets. its so funny to watch. Retired built navy guy always carrying around a yorkie or having four of them follow him everywhere. |
