| nvnvgirl | 06-26-2007 06:10 PM | You know, it's funny. I didn't think I wanted a Yorkie either....NOT that I really knew ANYTHING about them, even what they really looked like. But for some reason, I had it in my mind (I was not a dog person, obviously) that they were the yappy type of little dogs. And even if they might be cute, I had parrots that screamed on a pretty regular basis, so I was pretty sure I didnt' need anything else making more noise. But when I started losing my birds, my neighbor who had a friend who had Yorkie puppies ready to go, wanted me to come over to look at them, b/c she thought it might help me get over losing my birds....I thought...."ahhhhh...I don't want a Yorkie"....but I got home just as one of her other friends was leaving her house and she saw me pull in, and she came over and told me "you HAVE to go see those puppies".....and I thought "Oh crap....now I dont' have any excuse not to"....so I went....with the thought in my mind the entire time "I don't want a dog right now, I don't need a dog right now, I don't know anything about dogs, I don't want a Yorkie and dh isn't going to buy me one anyway".....seriously..that's what was going thru my head when I walked into the house.
I get to the kitchen, where they've got the dogs, and I see Max, and all I could think of was "OH MY GOD.....he is the CUTEST thing I've ever seen in my life...how am I going to talk dh into it????", rofl.....really, that's how fast it happened.
How can anyone NOT see how sweet and precious they are? And my dh said OK, but I think he was a little hestitant.....however, he would DIE if anything happened to Max~! He calls everyday when he's gone and I know his main concern is "how is Max doing?"....he just adores him! Neither of us can even imagine living without such a dear little dog, and you know what? I always thought if I did get a dog, I wanted a BIG dog (I do love German Shepards and Great Danes, but it's really impractical here), but now, I am SO glad I got a little guy.....so easy to take care of...portable, little poops (I'm sorry, but I see those gigantic poops that other people leave on the street and I guess I know why....the thought of having to pick them up in a bag grosses me out, and I'm an ICU nurse:eek: )......
So, now I'm working on getting another Yorkie, LOL.....I'm counting on the meetup in July to help convince dh, so if you're going and you've got more than one, be sure to point out all the great things about having more than one to my dh, LOL!
I figure you just multiply your joy and love by as many as you're lucky enough to have:love: :love: :love: |
