| I'm picking up my baby girl this afternoon!!! I'm picking up my baby girl today from the breeder. I am soooo nervous. Will I be a good mom??? What would I do if she gets sick? or injured?? Am I really ready??? I thought about this day for many years. With my current job, I will be able to visit her during lunch time and even able to bring her to work some time. My apartment allows pets. So here I am, looking at the picture of my baby girl on the office wall. She is the most precious thing in the world and I am so nervous. Don't get me wrong, I am so excited as well. I'm getting the jitter, I guess. I'll try to post new pictures when I come home with my Momiji!!! Please keep me in your thought today, I just need some good luck wishes!!! Momiji's Mom |

| I was so nervous the day before I picked up Gracie that I could not sleep. I know exactly how you feel. I was really worried because I had always had cats. "How will I know what she needs?" "How will I know if she is sick?" You know what? That mommy instinct kicks in without you even realizing it. You will do great. Just give your baby love and your baby will return it 100 times over.

| Sorry I can't help with the pics, but I just wanted to say Congratulations! I'm feeling the same way about my little guy that I'll be getting in a few weeks. So nervous, yet incredibly excited. Momiji is an unusual name. How did you come up with it? It sounds very exotic! |

| Momiji is Japanese name Thank you all. She is a handfull!! "Momiji" is Japanese for Maple Leaf. I name her Momiji because leaf color change in the fall like yorkie color, and she was born in the fall. (Yes, I'm Japanese.) I'm facing everyone's challeng now, yes potty train. She just won't go on wee wee pad. It's going to be a long process!! |

| To help in potty training, keep her in a small area and don't allow her the freedom to roam the whole house until she is potty trained or being closely watched. Lead her to the pad or outside as soon as her eyes open in the morning and every time she drinks, plays hard, basically every 45 minutes to give lots of opportunity for praise. Many give small little bits of healthy treats each time they potty on the pad or outside successfully. They also say it is very important that they walk themselves to the pad and you don't just pick them up and put them on it. Many keep them on a harness and a leash while out of their enclosure until perfectly potty trained. She is really pretty and, yes, they are a lot of work, much more like a baby than a puppy, but they are worth every minute. |

| what a beautiful baby!!!!!!!!!! Don't worry, the potty thing will get better with some time. make sure that you bought the pads with the built-in scent that attracts them to it and tells them that is where they potty. MORE PICS!!!!!!!!! They are tiny, btw, might want to not make them quite that small next time
