Do you ever think your dog would be a PAIN to live with....

how old is he?

I also think what would have happened if I didn't pick Taycie... She was 1 of 3 puppies. Her brother was already gone when I went to pick Taycie. I had to pick between 2 little girls.

Her sister was adorable. But Taycie stole my heart. She was very quite and shy. Almost nervous and scared. While her sister was so playful and outgoing. I know picking the shy puppy is usually not what your supposed to do but Taycie reminded me of myself and I knew she was the one in about 10 seconds.

I look at Taycie and I can not picture my life without that sweet girl. I always wonder what became of her sister...

When I decided to get a puppy, I was extremely lonely. I am kind of a homebody and shy myself and I don't get out as much as I should. I needed a friend badly... So when I saw that shy quite puppy my heart went out to her... she needed me too!... And how she has blessed my life!

Well that quite shy puppy is NOT so quite anymore and she has changed sooooo much!!

I think that anyone else would not put up with her demanding behavior.

She and I have a special way of communicating and I pretty much know what she is asking for at any given moment. No one else can do that. She would have a hard time of it, I think, if she could not be understood.

I also worry about what would Gracie do if something happened to me...she is sooo bonded to me. Our breeder lost her husband suddenly and unexpectedly and the two (young) Yorkies that were so bonded with him just moped around died within a couple weeks of him dying. i'm sure that's extreme, but she really believes they just died of a broken heart as after he died they immediately changed. Sad. If I remember correctly, they were only like 2 and 3 years of age and very healthy up to that point. She said the vet said the first one had a heart attack, the second one died apparently a couple days later. Seems odd that two young, healthy Yorkies would die suddenly so I'm guessing it must be true. All I know is, now I worry a lot about the "what if's" for Gracie.
