I think my first msg. was lost. My name is Mimi and I am the proud Mom of Lucy and Ethel. Lucy was just two on March and Ethel will be two in Sept.
I never had a dog till my adult life the girls are my 7th & 8th. . I always have pairs. My last was a beloved mutt who was 15 when he passed. I never pictured myself as a Yorkie owner. My girls are both rescues from a wonderful lady I met thru Petfinders. I never got the one I wanted but she found me Lucy (I was not looking for a Yorkie) who at the young age of 8 months had her share of abuse. It was love at first sight both for me and my husband. Before Lucy was a year she called me about Ethel. Ethel was weaned too soon because she did not meet up to the breeders standard of a show dog, she is a runt. I think she is beautiful. I am hooked, I want another one but I feel guilty if it's not another rescue. I do not really know the personality of one that has not had her personality altered. What are they really like?
