My yorkie beginnings
 

HI,
I am new to yorkie talk and wanted to introduce myself.Today is my anniversary date (becoming a yorkie lover).My husband was shopping for a yorkie for me as a christmas gift in 1996,but didnt find any in our area.I didnt know any of this at the time,but my youngest daughter did.Sadly,my husband was killed in a car accident the following April,and never got the chance to bring a yorkie home.When my daughter was 16 she found the perfect yorkie,she worked as a waitress all summer to pay for him,she brought him home on aug 7 (my husbands birthday)2000.I was so surprized ,she took a day always filled with sadness and put a big piece of joy in it.We named him Bear(my husbands nickname for my daughter).I love him so much that since then we have added Brittany a loveable girl,and Bandit our new little boy now 7 mths.I thought 3 might be to many but my daughter says mom that little yorkie brought love back in your life can you ever have too much love?She was right i love them all .when she is away at college-i hug those yorkies just a little tighter.thanks for listening
Nancy

Hello and welcome to yorkietalk!

WOW! That is such a GREAT story (about your daughter). I am sorry to hear about your husband. What a sweet daughter you have! That is sooo great to hear stories like this one...how many kids would do this for someone these days? You've really raised her right-what wonderful manners!

That was so touching. I know what you mean when you speak of the love they so unconditionally give when a big hole has been left in your life.

Welcome to YT. :)

Your story is so heartwarming. Welcome to Yorkie Talk. :aimeeyork

Hi Nancy! I'm so glad that you have your yorkies! They are truly a blessing. I plan to get another one when I can. Thanks for sharing your story. Your daughter is precious to give you want she knew your husband wanted you to have. I'll hug Bo a little this year. My daughter will be a freshman and is moving to her dorm on Aug. 25.

Welcome to Yorkie Talk. Glad you could join us!!!

Welcome! That is a very sweet story. I am so sorry to hear about your husband. ;)

Welcome to yorkie talk! Your story really touched me, how wonderful is it that these furbabies come in to our lives when we need them most?

Nancy, your story is so touching and sweet. Your daughter is really special but you already know that. Yorkies are one of God's gifts to the grieving and they do such a wonderful job.
I have been mourning the death of my heart of m heart, Jesse, for several months. He was one Yorkie in a million and each time I think about him I tear up. Now, I look at these new little babies and feel less sad. That is what our Yorkies are for-a solace in our times of loss. I know you will miss your daughter but like you said, give those babies extra hugs and smoochies.

Welcome and what a great daughter !!

That is one of the very best yorkie stories I have ever read! Yorkies truly are healers of broken hearts and whatever ails you. I am learning that more and more. Welcome to Yorkie Talk and thanks for sharing that story. :)
