Sebastian Bach | 05-11-2009 10:47 PM | Who rescued who?!? :wavey: Hello YT...first time poster and first time yokie owner here, lol. I extended our family by one last Friday. His name is Sebastian, and he is truly an answer to a prayer. I am a dog person, and think the world would just be a much better place if everyone had a special doggie to love, but for the past 4 years I have been dogless (since my beloved schnauzer passed away). I have been waiting on getting a dog because I have young children, but am religiously looking up ads and breeders on the 'net, (just for fun)and I am probably one of the only people who has a dogster.com account with no dog.
I knew my little family needed a dog to be complete, and after watching my two children play with mother-in-laws and sister-in-law dogs, and brorrowing them for extended periods of time, I decided that they were ready. I have always thought yorkies were the prettiest dogs I had ever seen, but I had never planned on getting a yorkie, because my kids are still pretty young, and was looking at "sturdier' dogs--mostly larger terriers, when I ran across an ad from a newly single mother who, because of a recent divorce, was having to move back home with her parents, and they would not allow her to bring Sebastian. I sent her an email, and set up an appointment to meet the little bugger. He was definitely used to being around small kids, and took up immediately with my 4-year-old (almost makes me jealous--in a happy sort of way :rolleyes:), and is great with my 2 year-old. Unless I saw it for myself, I probably would have never thought a Yorkie would be so great with kids.
He has just brought a smile to all of our faces, and in a heartbeat has found such a place in our hearts. He is 1.5, and honestly just the perfect family dog.
Sorry I don't really have any real pictures to post...but hopefully very soon. My avatar is from the pic listed on the classified ad where I found him, and just knew he was supposed to be mine. |
