I am enjoying everyone's story. Here's mine:
I was first introded to a yorkie about 17 years ago. We had two cockers at the time that we adored. Any way, my husband was transferred to Louisiana and the first friend I met also had two cockers AND a 3 lb yorkie (named Sweetie). I fell in love with her. I had the "honor" of dog sitting Sweetie everytime my friend had to leave town. I wanted a yorkie ever since, but we were pregnant with our first and money was tight at the time so we didn't even consider it. My husband was adamant that we would never spend that kind of money on the purchase of a dog. I put yorkies out of my mind until this past year. My girls' mini schnauzer was stolen so we replaced her with my husband's childhood wish of owning an english springer spaniel. Our springer turned out to be a neurotic escape artist that would eat though our privacy fence. Any way, it was a heartwrenching decision, but we ended up rehoming him to a ranch (with no fences) this past December. In January, I started looking for a new dog and brought up the possibility of a yorkie. My hubby said YES this time!! The best part is, my hubby is hooked on our little fellow. I'm ready to get yorkie number two, but want to wait until the first is potty trained. |
