I lucked into getting my Shorty dog (Rip) in May of 2000, and he was 3 yrs old. His owners were patients at the doc's office I worked for. They couldn't deal with his "running off". I walked in their door to look at him, and he came flyin around the corner on 2 wheels. 3 and a half pounds of pure cute. I was in love immediately. I had him neutered the next day. He never ran off again. He was my baby til he passed at the age of 8 due to a tumor on his optical nerve. Everyone that ever met Shorty wanted a "shorty dog", which meant yorkie. He was the greatest little boy, ever. When I found out his condition was terminal I went ahead and got Otis. He is so different than Shorty, but I couldn't be more in love with him... Thanks for letting me think back on my first dog, and my first yorkie. My sweet Shorty dog. I still miss him, but I have great memories.

Wow! Your story gave me goosebumps and tears. We had a German Shephard with a similar story. My parents bought him when I was a baby and he lived till I was around 16. He had a large tumor on his bottom and was causing great pain. What was really something was he was closest to my dad and we knew he wasn't going to live much longer because he was laying on his side all day and he hung on all day till my dad came home from work. We told dad that he was pretty bad so my dad went to look at him and gave him a good pep talk and my dad walked away and went to talk to us and we came back and he had died. He had his head propped up the same way he did when my dad was talking to him so he lived long enough to see dad one more time.

Boy do I miss him! He was a great dog. We buried him in the backyard and got a stone to place by our tree, (when I was little I would sit under the tree and talk to him for hours). Often I go back and just sit there. It's very peaceful.

Got my first, Yahtzee @ 9 weeks in January 05, and second, Yankee @ 7 weeks in June 05. Fancee is Yahtzee's first born. Fancee has her first litter, but I'm not keeping any of them.

We got Scruffy in February 1986. (Well, we didn't bring him home 'til April ... but we picked him out at 2 days old.)

My dog that I'd had since childhood, Shaggy, had died the summer before at 14. I had moved to college and my mom was alone in the house, 'cept for my cat. She finally decided she wanted a dog -- and she wanted a Yorkie. (Shaggy had been about 35 pounds, he was a gorgeous dog. Looked like a big version of Benji. Carting him up and down stairs and in and out to the bathroom during his last several months had been a chore.)

Scruff was dainty and particular and smart. He and I always had a love/hate relationship but he made it up to me toward the end. He became like my best friend during his last three months or so. I often wondered why he couldn't have been that way with me the rest of his life! (Sadly, he died at 11.5 of hemangiosarcoma.) He got so bad, he had to be PTS, something I'd never had to do. I never wanted another dog after that.

I lasted a whole week.

My mom talked me into going to "look" at puppies. It was love at first sight. Ozzie came home to us in September 1997.

Moose is our first Yorkie. We received him as a Christmas present from our 2nd son, December 2006. WOW! what a awesome present. We never thought we wanted a "little" dog, but let me tell you, there is no going back. He is the most special and precious boy ever. (Moose is our first "male dog" as well!) YORKIE POWER~~ LOL.
