 New and saying hello!
Hi,
I have a 7 year old Yorkie named Lacey who is the love of my life!
The odd thing is I didn't even WANT a Yorkie! (Hangs head in shame!) I know, I know...I can't believe it either now, but back then I wanted another Pekingese, as that is all I had ever had, even as a child.
Long story, but we ended up going to look (JUST look) at two litters of Yorkies and well, you know what happened! I just fell in love with this tiny, feisty wisp of a thing. BUT OH, I can tell you that the first few weeks were a learning experience! I thought I knew about dogs but found I hadn't really had a DOG. Not sure what Pekes are but I found they aren't dogs. THIS dog chewed-everything, furniture, (and she had discriminating taste-pine she left alone, maple she liked and my one antique cherry table she devoured-taking it from antique to distressed) clothes, my new purse (!), hands-you name it-she gnawed on it! She DUG-her bed, my bed...did you know that Berber carpet pulls up in long curly rope like things? She thought potty training was OK, but any other "training" was a battle of wills!
Well, lets just say she earned her nickname "The Yorkie Of The Baskervilles".
Now, she is my best friend and constant companion. 5 of our 6 kids are grown and gone and the youngest is a Jr. in high school so during the day it's just me and Lacey. She is a perfect doggie...my husband adores her and we can't imagine life without her!
I never get tired of hearing stories about other peoples doggies so I guess it is time I joined a message board! |
