Welcome to the I can't wait club. When I got Bentley in February I was the same way. He had 99% of what he needed before I even got him. What I didn't have was only because of shipping delays.

The breeder lives almost 2 hours away and they were on a tight schedule (they were headed out of town for meetings that day) so I had to get him at 8 am. I set THREE yes THREE alarms because I was afraid I would oversleep. I'm lucky if I managed to get a total of 2 hours sleep that night.

Can't wait to see pictures of your baby.

Cool I'm not in nursing school yet, but that is also what I am going for.

Ive had animals all my life. When I moved out the dogs stayed with my parents. So when my daughter was 3 (and potty trained) I started searching for a dog. I didnt care about the breed, just that I wanted a medium sized, medium haired, black dog. We were living in Alabama at the time and I went to the local shelter, there were plenty of dogs, but none that worked for our family. So we went home and I researched more on adoptapet.com and found a boxer-mix. I LOVE boxers, so I went to look at her and she just growled at my daughter, we were about to leave and I decided to walk around the place and we found Carley. I put the money down for her right away and 3 days later we picked her up. She was fixed and had her shots right away, so I didnt need to get anything done with her checkup for a yr.
With Joey, I wanted a small dog. Not a yorkie, because I had heard about how lippy they were. I walked into a pet store (BAD IDEA!!) and found one. He was so cute but the woman couldnt tell me anything about him. And, since I have been around animals all my life I knew he was probably a puppy mill guy and decided not to buy him. I went home and really felt attached to him..like I should get a yorkie. So I googled local breeders, made an appointment and went to check some out. Thennnn I was introduced to the Biewers. I'd never heard of them before so I did some research just to make sure I wasnt paying thousands for a mutt (nothing wrong with mutts, just dont want to pay tons for them). So I read about them online, knew their history, did a little research on the bloodline, and the parents of Joey (both are registered) and sent in my deposit...then I had to wait 2 months!

I am also getting mine in mid-May! Also starting Uni in August but unlike you two, I'm going for a boring History degree. I'm naming my baby Louis LastName - after Louis XIV - Yes, I'm a history nut.

I wish I were more forward with the breeder. She's the loveliest person ever, but I just don't want to bother her! She lives only a few mins drive away (literally less than 10 minutes!) and I count down the days between visits! I'm due to see him again this weekend, or early in the week!

I vomited ahhahahah. I was soo soo nervous.

I felt just as you did and maybe worse because I waited 3 years. When I finally found him I just knew. Reign also came at a low point in my life because I had just lost my job. He really was a special delivery.

Since my yorkie passed away I met someone recently who has yorkie puppies and a maltese looking for new homes. There's a chance I might look at them today and I'm absolutely freaked out especially at making a decision between a 1 year old dog and puppies.

Make a list of what you want in a yorkie. Then make a list of the pros and cons of a puppy and the pros and cons of a 1yr old. Base your decision that way. Maybe this will help

Yeah, I've been doing this for the past few days in my head. It would be nice to have another Yorkie but a Maltese as far as I'm aware has a very similar temperament. I know that none of these dogs are going to a shelter and that there's probably a long line of people who would want them if I decide they are not for me. The real risk is that I'm going to come home with both!

Awesome! It's rough but just keep in mind that it's worth it.

Ahh Louis the Great! Nothing wrong with loving history! I like greek mythology, Lyra was almost named Calypso

I'm sure your breeder doesn't mind, but its nice of you to be so considerate. My next visit is either Tuesday or Thursday.
