I'm new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself (Tracey) and share my love for my Yorkie, Lily (who is now 3 years old).
I never thought I would love another dog again once I lost my
[COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]shih [COLOR=green !important]tzu[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], Misty, right before my divorce. I met a guy and his family had lil' Lily who was 6 months at the time. She would be the first thing I grabbed when I walked in the door and try to steal (in my purse, up my shirt, etc) when leaving - LOL. Grew to love her so much that I kept telling her she was going to be my doggie someday and provided his family with fake custody papers, hahaha.
After 4 months, I knew the relationship with that bf wasn't working but it was hard leaving cause I loved the family & dog so much. I even went back a couple of times in the year to visit.
With my current boyfriend, I would even show him pictures of Lily and tell him how much I wanted her! He thought I wanted a dog like her but I said "no, I want LILY".
Fast forward 3 years and Lily's owners couldn't take care of her like she wanted as her health was getting worse (in & out of the hospital all the time & even ended up losing her leg). She send me a message one day saying she knew how much I always loved Lily and if I would be interested in adopting her.
I went into tears as my dream came true. God works in mysterious ways and lil' Lily is now my precious little girl. The day I picked her up was one of the greatest moments of my life. She remembered my truck when I pulled in and started hyper ventilating when she saw me. She was going absolutely crazy that my friend even stated that this confirmed she was making the right decision and how it was obvious that Lily still remembered & loved me.
To this day, I even have the fake custody papers that I typed up and continuously tell Lily that I kept my promise that she would be my doggie.
I love her with all my heart
