I had been asking my hubby for a pup for over a year. I had hoped to get one for my birthday that year (I know, I know...) as a surprise from my dh. My grandmother ended up on her death bed that month and I spent every possible moment by her side. She stopped eating and drinking and slept. I had a hard time with this, and was depressed. She passed away 6 days before my birthday and my birthday passed without a gift from my hubby.
I had been casually searching for my dog, and came across a Craigslist ad one morning. It had very little information and no picture. It just said male yorkie, rehoming fee applies. I called the number and set a time to go out to visit this little guy.
My husband had been against any dogs, so I had my friend go out with me. I stopped by an atm to get the money just in case I fell in love. We drove up to the ladies house and sat down in her living room. I knew instantly that I would be taking the little guy home
She had recently adopted her three young grandchildren and she was concerned that they might hurt him. I took him home and my husband was pissed! He told me to return him, but I told him I wouldn't tell him where I got him
He slept with us that night, and the very next morning my husband said "You aren't too bad little guy!" lol.
Couver filled the void in my heart after my grandmother passed. I will forever think of him as the greatest birthday gift of my life
