I realize I am coming a little late to the party. I was literally just handed a 9 year old Yorkie. He was in need of a home and I had a home to share. In the 6 weeks I have had him, we have bonded something fierce. I already dread the day he won't be here anymore. He thinks he is 5, so I figure I should be able to count on at least 5 years with him, but I am hoping for 7+.
We are getting a Yorkie mix puppy later this spring (they should be born in about a week). It is my daughters puppy though and should be ready to bring home just as school is letting out for the summer. I am sure we will have that puppy a very long time.
My Teek is healthy and so I am just going to enjoy every day/month/year that I get to spend in his life.
