I convinced Jim I needed a small dog to plug the hole in my heart. My dtr had just got married (though they live with us) and I was lonely. He said as long it was a small dog I could carry around ( I have health problems so I can not carry heavy things). We had decided on a small poodle (Don't throw things
). We went to a flea market and there was a guy with 2 full grown yorkies. He looked at them and told me to ask the guy a lot of q's. He kept sending us back to ask the guy who was a breeder more q's then said if I liked them I could get a yorkie.
Now he picks her up and cuddles her calls her his little girl. Though he will deny it.
He is also a country boy who believes dogs should be outside. But we are ordering a new mobile home and he insists tile for all but the bedroom in case of pee accidents.
Give it time, they know what to do.
