My husband and two sons were very "eh" on me getting a yorkie. They frequently scoffed about "those ugly little rat dogs", etc.
Then I brought Kiki home, and the rest is history!

My husband is a bigger mush about the doglettes than *I* am....I thought he'd fret himself to death when Mazie went in to get spayed! And my oldest son, NOT an animal lover in general, has just been transformed. I never thought I'd see him cuddling and babytalking an animal, but he's in love!
