We had just lost Boog in September of '04 and I had mixed emotions about getting another Yorkie but couldn't find any other breed that really excited me. In March of '05 there was an ad in our local paper for a small male Yorkie so I drug my husband over to look...just to look
There he was, so tiny, 4 1/2 months old, 2 pounds 3 oz. and hair sticking up in every direction! He was living with a lady and her 10 pound Yorkie who was quite rough with Jo...she had only had him for 3 days and decided it wasn't working. I took him for the day, went to the vet, he got a clean bill of health and told her I wanted to keep him. He's turned into a beautiful, small Yorkie with a shiny silk coat.
As for Riley...he was a surprise from my husband after we moved to Florida. Jo needed a playpal and I really wanted a small girl but he took me to look at Riley. He was small too...2 pounds 8 oz. I think at 14 weeks and that's what I wanted to match Jo's size. He wasn't in the best of circumstances, he hadn't been loved on and was kind of shy...honestly, he was the scruffiest looking, short haired, long legged Yorkie puppy I had seen for a long time but he was from my husband so it was just fine. Boy was I wrong about Riley...he's turned out beautiful with a lovely silk coat...he's my ugly duckling story for sure! He was given a clean bill of health and brought home to meet Jo...they've been inseperable, best buddies every since!
Now...if I could just find the perfect little girl or two.......
