Every day lay in bed & look at adds. 2days ago a cheap yorkie & couldn't get him out of my head. Needless to say I bought him. All I could think was, u get what u pay 4. He is thin, thin hair, frightened & stunk. What am I doing? As I head hm with him & botched looking papers. Just held him & loved him, I hadn't smiled in months, gave him time. Day 3, comfortable enough 4 a bath. He did so gd BUT that's when I realized his thin coat was due to tangles being cut out. Almost shaved in spots. Well..dried him & brushed him & sat him on the bed to look at him. Charlie took off juming at me & his toys lol then ran in circles playing! Cutesy thing I've ever seen! Then I laid on bed, Charlie curled up in my arm & slept, after lots of kisses. I realized then..I needed Charlie & he needed me.
I had read so many negative post about ACA only has mutts & AKC only way to go. If u want a show dog get 1! if u want a pet 2 love, don't let reg or price keep u from checking them out!
Pride & strangers opinions almost cost my precious Charlie. I now have a 2lb shadow.

Ok I don't know if I am just sensative but that brought tears to my eyes. And they are good tears. I am so happy for you and your furbaby.
I am also sorry for everything that happened to you but like RDB911 said this little one was sent to you for a reason :) have a great Christmas. :)

I must say I never really imagined any1 reading this but am so grateful to all. Christmas eve we brought home Ahleigh May. Wanted Charlie to have playmate. I was shocked at the difference in them, re: hms they came from. She came in like she owned us. Took a bit but they are wonderful! Charlie is a different dog. I laugh till I hurt & they play to exhaustion. Hubby said 3am playtime gonna stop or playpen time. Lol of course they sleep with us. Got elec blanket..don't want them cold. Charlie sleeps between my knees ontop of quilt & Ahleigh on my shoulder & pillow or hubby's head. I don't have computer, just iPhone, so soon as I figure how to move pics Ill post them. Thank u for prayers & caring. There are no strangers here, only friends I hadn't met. Thanks again for making our lonely world friendlier.:mobile_ph:2hearts2:
