| Am I Crazy for Getting a 4th? Well, this might not be the right place to ask that question. I mean most of you are just as crazy as I am! Some of you might even be crazier. I have had Prince and Angel for about 3 1/2 years. They will be 7 and 8 this summer. I "inherited" them from a friend of a friend who passed away. The woman who owned them was an older lady who rarely left her house. They were not socialized and had never seen another dog, other than Angel's mom. Prince is Angel's dad. Angel is the perfect example of why puppies should not be taken from their mothers too early. She was taken away at 6 weeks! Poor little girl. Among other things, she never really learned how to play. She tries sometimes, but she just doesn't get it. She is a VERY good snuggler though. Noah is a puppymill rescue. He is 2 1/2 and I've had him about 2 years. The problem is, he is all puppy and wants to play with someone, but Prince and Angel won't play with him. He has fun with my parents' dogs, but they live an hour away. So what's my point? Noah's getting a puppy! Well, I'm getting a puppy, but I'm really hoping she and Noah will bond and be best buddies. I was getting really discouraged trying to find a new puppy. Long story short, there are some really weird people out there! Why do they think if they love their dogs and let them sleep on their bed, it's okay to over-bread them? Gee, I wonder why they wanted to bring the puppy to me instead of me going to their house? I ended up finding a couple who have puppies for sale and only live 6 miles from me. They own two Yorkies. Dad has now been fixed and mom will be after the puppies are weaned. They are very nice people who obviously take very good care of their dogs. Noah and I went to meet the puppies and the parents (human and canine parents). I instantly fell in love. The puppy is only 4 1/2 weeks old so we have a long wait ahead of us. They are letting the puppies go at 8 weeks, but agreed to keep my little girl for 12 weeks. Angel and I are going to go visit our puppy Wednesday. I can't wait! Wow, I guess I ramble when I'm excited. Anyhow, here is a picture of little Lexi Grace with here sister and one of her brothers. |

| Thank you. I'm pretty excited! I've put a lot of thought into it. Do I REALLY need a fourth one? So far, everyone says four really isn't that much different from having three. It's going to be a really long 8 weeks, waiting for her to come home! |

| Congrats--I have 4 dogs--and 2 are bigger(30lbs and 70lbs), so another yorkie is great. I asked my hubby the other day if it feels like we have 4 dogs? He said, sarcastically-yes. He isn't a fan of having them--but he loves them all anyways. I am crazy, I would totally go get another one in a heartbeat--my daughter would love to have one that bonded to her and loves her. anyways, keep us posted with pics!!! |

Donating YT 30K Club Member | That's wonderful!!! I love the name. I had 4 until my pom passed away earlier this year and I liked having an even number.

| I think that this is such exciting news for you and it will be good for Noah to have a puppy to play with him too. The puppies are so adorable in the picture you posted. I'm so happy for you that you found such a lovely couple with this gorgeous puppies. They are so lucky that this little girl will be going to such a great home. |
