I had a dalmatian who died just prior to moving to MO from TX. I had decided then, that I wanted a Yorkie...had her name picked out and everything. I just wasn't ready for ANY dog for awhile, but we saw an ad in the newspaper about yorkie puppies and also found out that sometimes they aren't available whenever you want. We went to see her and came home with our Gracie. About a year ago, my husband wanted his OWN yorkie puppy since Gracie is VERY much MY lapdog. We entertained the idea of breeding our Gracie who is now almost 4 years old (we've moved back to TX), but after reading lots of posts on here, I was scared to death that something would happen to Gracie during this whelping process. I convinced my husband that we should just BUY another and let Gracie alone. LO! Would you believe I met just the right person on here almost immediately after becoming a member! Avery's mom had to get rid of Avery (4 mo old) because her little boy was too rough with him. We met her to see him and, of course, drove away with him! He's an absolute doll and we love him to death. NOW....wanna know the problem? HE is my lapdog, too!!! The two of them have to take turns, but neither want to sit on my husband's lap. He's left out altogether! Our older dog is very much the QUEEN, but Avery snuggles like a little tiny baby. They play together constantly, till they both are completely worn out! It's still hard for me to believe I've got TWO little bitty dogs after growing up with only much larger breeds; boxer, doberman, dalmatian! BUT what a joy they are!! |
