I gotta admit I wouldn't have guessed the wide range of ages here. And thank you fasteddie for creating this site. I learned so much here before getting Trace and have enjoyed reading about other puppies antics, as well as advice from other yorkie owners.
I am 44 yrs old, born, raised, and remain in Virginia Beach, Va. Been married for 24 yrs to the same man. Took us awhile to get pregnant and had our first and only child, a girl, 12 yrs ago. I work in a family owned business with my older brother. Have worked here for 21 years. I am the sole clerical staff....accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, invoicing, etc. I touch every piece of paper that comes into this office
We have had Trace for about 8 weeks. We got him from our neighbor who is a hobby breeder. He was a "litter" of one. He was so cute, but I did a ton of research on the breed BEFORE committing to getting him. I will admit during the first few days the thought occurred to me that "potty training is a PIA", and why did I agree to this. He is so dang smart and adorable. I didn't quite expect the personality he has, but he's wonderful. He has won my husband's heart as well.
We also enjoy camping. Trace hasn't experienced it yet, but will this summer.
I also enjoy reading, flower gardening, swimming in our pool, and lounging on the deck in addition to participating in my daughter's sporting events.
Keep the thread going, I enjoy "learning about all you yorkie yakkers".
