wow! what a neat thread!
i love reading everyone's stories. so here's mine:
a family at my church has a teenaged daughter who is highly allergic to everything-at least that's how it seems. anyway, she was in the beginning stages of depression so her parents bought her a yorkie puppy (they heard they weren't bad on allergies?) it turned out that she couldn't keep the puppy b/c she was allergic to him, too. a few days before easter, the dad called me and said they wanted me to take tucker. i didn't want a dog-especially a little one- but i said i'd take him for the weekend and see. (i was having medical problems brought on mainly by stress and didn't want to add more stress)
needless to say, after a weekend with this little guy, i just couldn't give him back. i'm glad now that they picked me. i've not had as many stress-related medical problems and i can't imagine life without him! he's my little miracle!
here's a picture of tucker on easter weekend.
