[Opium88]

Well, I went last night to meet a 4 month old yorkie (by the way I'm having to shop for a second hand puppy this time) that a family is selling. His name was Toby, and I had it in my mind that at 4 months he would definitely be smaller than my Izzy (8months). Here I was worried that she would be too rough on him or something, and boy was I wrong. He weighed at least 5 pounds, maybe more, and was quite a bit bigger than her. I was a little shocked. His tail wasn't docked, and both ears flopped forward . Now, if you weren't particuliar about breed standards and what not, he was actually friggin adorable. Soft soft dark coat that didn't tangle, cutest little face, and he was just so sweet and gentle and playful. And izzy loved him. I just can't seem to get over his size. If he's that big at four months, I can only imagine how big he would be full grown. And the tail kind of threw me off. She paid $400 for him, wants to sell him for $500. Really??? But he was so sweet that I'm still considering it. He was really energetic, but then if I stayed cooped up all day I'd probably be pretty spastic when I was let out, too.
So now I'm waiting for 9:30 to roll around so I can go meet up with a lady about her Yorkie. He's same age as izzy , and from the pictures looks about the same size. She readily admitted that they don't groom him and that he'd been shaved recently. From the pics I can tell it was definitely a home cut, because they seem to have forgotten to trim his face at all. He looks scruffy. Needs some love. But she says he has all his papers and she paid $2000 for him, is asking $500. I guess their other older Yorkie female doesn't tolerate him well. That's the reason for re homing. So hopefully this one will be the one that catches my attention. Because I know me, and if neither of them turn out to be what I'm looking for, I will end up buying whichever one is in a more miserable setting just for the sake of saving them from it. That's how I roll. So we shall see...wish me luck
