Piper has enriched and improved my life in so many ways...She gets me up and moving, but perhaps more importantly, she makes me laugh out loud everyday (it's just the two of us). And through Piper I've connected--even if just for a moment or two--with numerous, amazing people. And her affect is amazing. On one of our walks I noticed a couple of rather scruffy, ne'er do wells and suddenly one of them makes a beeline for us. I froze only to hear him say, "Hey, she's a little yorkie, right? I love these dogs, my mom had one." and as he reminisced I could just see him going back in time, his features briefly softening. He then thanked me for letting him pet Piper and walked on...leaving me bewildered and awed at the impact Yorkies, like no other dog I've ever seen, have on people--of all walks of life. |
