[max's mom]

As a confirmed animal lover since childhood...I have had a virtual parade of them through the years....we have had rescued dogs and cats, registered breeds and critters of all types. At one point when our son lived at home...we had 38 animals.....ducks, chickens, snake, cat, dog, iguana, hamsters, horse, pig, calf, and various litters or babies from some of them. We have had an interesting life!
At present, the kids are grown with kids of their own..and my husband and I have a calico cat that somebody dumped in the middle of an intersection in Houston...A Boston Bull female that I could not resist and a Doberman female that we purchased for protection during an unusually hostile political campaign for my husband.
But nothing....I repeat nothing has captured my heart like Max...our little yorkie. I have never loved an animal like I love him. He follows my every step, wants my undivided attention, waits in the front window on the back of the sofa until I return home. (It may be hours)...sleeps at our feet every night then creeps under the covers when he gets cold. He licks my tears when I am sad.....sleeps on my lap while I'm watching TV....hops and jumps for joy when he hears his leash and runs to the front door for his walk. He is a loyal and loving companion.....Many friends have asked what makes him so special.....I can't explain that "yorkie magic" to them. So much love in such a tiny furry body....Do you know what I mean?
