As much as I like to " save" every dog out there - some are not a good fit for us ( no matter how urgent their placement is) and sometimes I have to find them a new foster home asap! Especially dominant ones are an issue as my own dogs are on the shy and fearful side. I can deal with fear, potty issues, health problems, matted coats and I like getting fearful and shy dogs to relax - but having an overly dominant dog in our family spells disaster. I just found a wonderful home for a little dominant rascal- cute as a button but even at the tender age of 12 weeks humped everything in sight and terrified my older dogs- to the point were my older dog did not want to fetch anymore ( his favorite thing ever!) ... Bella on the other hand - who was supposed to find a home will stay because all 3 of my dogs love her - it is almost like she was made for our family. When people say they get a puppy they often expect a " blank slate" - I find that every puppy is different and they come with their own personality ... behavior can be modified but in the end certain personality traits are just genetic .

she is absolutely adorable! What a handsome couple these two will make - he looks very happy for sure about his new sister! Yorke puppies all seem very small to me ... we have a very much " standard" sized puppy - 3.1lb at almost 14 weeks but she looks small even compared to my 6lb maltese mix ... I never understood the need for teacup dogs ... 5-6lb dogs are tiny in my book - my Lhasa looks HUGE at 20 lb and I am seriously worried about roughhousing with the puppy lol ...
The two girls wrestle all day though and Bella has gained a bunch of muscle I am sure ...

Henry has come so far with your love and care and looks to me like he has proudly taken on the role of big brother to baby Luna and nobody better mess with his little sidekick! They're both ridiculously adorable! You most assuredly made the right choice in adopting such a tiny, kinda helpless Yorkie girl--another wonderful life saved. And for sure, it is absolutely the right decision for Henry--an ego boost and confidence builder what with having Luna looking to him for guidance, etc.! Such a beautiful family---you all warm my heart and you prove miracles happen again and again...!
