You sure dont bore me I always enjoy your posts. I remember when I was waiting for a yorkie. I waited 2 years to get one.
then one day My huband said I could look for one and I was so happy. I found a breeder locally that was in our price range and we got one. She then later had Jewels and we got her too. I was so happy and you will be too. I really researched the breed while I was waiting. I wish I would have found yorkietalk while I was waiting and I would have became a member also.

I wish I would have found YT first too. It would have been very helpful and still is

Michiko,

I'm very happy for you, not just because you are on your way to getting a Yorkie, but to hear your boyfriend love's you so much he is willing to do what is needed to make your home a fully happy home for you. He's a keeper LOL!

I look forward to reading more of your progress in finding a new home, THEN finding the Yorkie

or who knows could be Yorkies..lol Its hard to just have one.

Muffie's Mom · 01-17-2006, 04:10 AM

Michiko: I wish you the best of luck in finding a new house so you can fulfill your dreams of getting a Yorkie. We have lots of people here that can steer you in the right direction and what to look for and not look for!

I've only been on YT for a couple months and have learned so much. We have 2 Yorkies (10-1/2 yo and puppy 14 weeks). They are a treasure and so loveable.

It sounds like you have a super greatttttt guy. Hang onto him, girl!

Best of luck to you.

bettyeanne · 01-17-2006, 05:55 AM

Michiko!! Hang in there ... before you know it, you will be scratching your head and wondering .... "what the heck have I gotten myself into?!?".

Seriously, you will get that baby and the ideal place to raise him/her. We waited and studied/learned before we finally got our Toto! Another thing ... congratulations on the "sweet man" .... he's a keeper!!

Your post are not boring. Many of us have been in your position. When I first moved out of my parents house many many years ago i had to leave my first Yorkie at home, he was too attached to my dad and I couldn't have pets in the building. I had always grown up with animals and hated not having one. So the next year my husband and I moved about 45 minutes from my job, because at 25 I finally got my drivers license and bought a car and moved to an apartment that allowed pets. The week after w moved I got Zorro my first yorkie on my own. He was an absolute doll. When he died at 13 I waited 3 days before calling a breeder to go look at her puppies evev though I didn't have 600 cash and wouldn't have it for a few months. Well my sister a complete animal nut went with me to look at the 4 pups and I fell in love with a little girl, my sister wips out 600.00 cash to loan me so i could get her. She said I knew you would fall in love with one. So I brough Gracie home that day. She was the love of my life but unfortuanatly died young at 6 1/2 with complications of a collapsed trachea. Well mu husband an ddtr wanted a pom and I was still grieving for Gracie and they got Maya. Maya has alwsy been a standoffisd type and not a cuddler at all. I so missed having a yorkie but was to scared of having 2 dogs. When I lost my job after 33 years there my whole life changed, i no longer feared things like I did before, I figured if I could handle that I could handle another puppy and what better time I would be home all day with her. So I looked into getting another one but only half seriously since I was a liitle concerned how Maya woudl be with a puppy, well in July I had this strong feeling I had to get a Yorkie so I looked around and after many weeks of searching I found Cali! If I could afford it I would get another !!!
My point is that you will get your baby when the time is right and you will know when that is.
Good luck

I can't imagine that anyone could think your posts are boring. I consider you part of the yorkie family, with or without a pup of your own. It's our love of this breed that brings us all together here and you certainly have plenty of that.
Vivek seems to be a terrific guy and I'm sure you will work everything out for a bright and happy future. I can think of no one who is more deserving of a wonderful yorkie than you. You have my Best wishes for all good things.

and Megan, what are you doing up at this hour? : ) you wicked, wicked girl...lol! hugs...I'm off to bed.

Stacy has said it all. It is our LOVE of the breed that brings us together, whether we own one or not. I, personally, do not own one. I have an Australian Cattle Dog. But I live with my daughter who raises Yorkies, and I am in love with each of them. Sue is out of town right now, and ALL 6 of the adults are on my bed at night. It is sometimes hard to find room for me!! So I don't own one, but they think they own me (and they are right). As far as your posts being boring, that is the furthest thing from the truth.

I hope you find your house soon, and hang on to that special guy. He is definitely a keeper.

heather_lathrop · 01-17-2006, 11:27 AM

Your not boring me!! I think it's really great that you are so commited to having a yorkie. I know that you are going to absolutely in love with it, and glad that you have made this decision!! Congratulations on your good decision, and you truely do have a wonderful boyfriend. I hope you will keep us updated on your jorney into yorkie ownership!!!!

mustangbee · 01-17-2006, 11:27 AM

Michiko, this site is also to learn about Yorkies. Yes most members have one, but there are many still looking. The best thing is you are going to be ready when you find one. You might be a Yorkie wanta be owner, but if you ask me, Yorkies have already stole your heart. So it's just a matter of time my friend. Everyone here is here because we love Yorkies, that includes you! When you find the right one, we will all be here with you to join in on your fun!

Good Luck to you always, and may all your Yorkie dreams come true!

y0rkieL0ver · 01-17-2006, 12:24 PM

ur making a great decision, and i wish you the best of luck<3<3 boston is so freakin expensive its ridiculous. once you get your baby we are having a playdate, so keep me and Sirius in mind :]

Juliealfies mum · 01-17-2006, 02:41 PM

Wishing you luck , and hope you get your baby soon. I had a yorkie when I was 16 ,but when he died I could not get another due to work etc . I finally persuaded my husband to get me one 20 months ago and I got Alfie then 9 weeks ago Igot another one Lottie so watch out they are addictive. It took me 14 years to persuade my husband though at least my I bought my mum a yorkie because she misssed my max so much! so at least I was not yorkieless ,we got her Pebbles who is a giant of a yorkie and so loving and good natured ,she is auntie to my little ones who adore her, she is now 14 years old but loves to chase them around and they all have a great time toghether . So your yorkie days will come , just when the time is right.

alisonJ · 01-17-2006, 03:14 PM

Hey, a Yorkie does not fit into everyone's life. I was 42 years old before I finally felt settled down enough to have a dog!! That might be extreme, but there is a lot of responsibility in owning a dog. Money is part of it, but I think one of the most important things is having TIME for the dog. That's what I lacked for so long.

So get a Yorkie when you are ready, and not before. Both you and your pet will be happier for it.

txshopper73 · 01-17-2006, 03:20 PM

Oh, WOW!!! Girl, we're here for you. Everything will work out. Don't you worry one bit. We could never get tired of you...you're too sweet to become tiresome!

Tiggerwit · 01-17-2006, 03:46 PM

Don't feel bad I don't have one right now either. I lost my baby in August and just haven't had the heart to replace him yet. Came close as Mason's mommy knows, but just couldn't take the step. But I like being on here. I've learned a lot and learn more every day and it's helped me grieve. It's great to know that there is someone to talk to or help if you need it. Thanks guys.
