Beautiful Story - Yorkie
 

I wanted to tell you all my story. I was feeling extremely grateful for my little Jeanie right now, so wanted to share.

I have been trying to have children for about 20 years. I was unsuccessful, and each time a treatment failed, I would get more and more depressed. Finally I decided that I couldn't do any more treatments, I just couldn't take the pain anymore.

That was when I started to really think about getting my Yorkie :)

I had been stopping to pet every dog I saw for years....especially getting excited when I would see a Yorkie. My heart would grow when I saw them...I wanted one so bad. But where I lived my landlords wouldn't let me have a dog. They had already made an exception allowing me to have a cat. So I could understand. But my heart still ached for a Yorkie :love:

My partner also was not sure, and would tell me he didn't think it would work with the cat......and just wasn't keen on it. I tried, slowly and softly to persuade him. Over time, he was won over.

The time came when I was sure that I needed the baby yorkie. I asked my landlords, and they said no right away........I understood. I shared with her though, my story ( she knew of my infertility ) and that having the puppy would be my way of being a mother. And that we would be looking to move, because it was so important. No hard feelings to them, just what I needed to do. The next day she called me and said they had reconsidered, and that I could have my baby.....I was elated.

So I started looking. I didn't find what I was looking for locally, and wasn't looking that hard (yet)........but was diligent more than panicky. My mother then emailed me one day, and said she found an ad on Vancouver Island for a puppy where my Mom and Dad lived. That is far enough away to not be local, but not far in the grand scheme of things. So I asked them if they would go look at the babies, and they said yes.

I found out that they were very cute, and Mom loved them both right away. The one that I eventually bought, went to my Dad and snuggled up in his arms, and fell to sleep. :smile: when I found that out, I knew I had to have that one...........so we started talking via email and phone, and I arranged for my parents to put a deposit, and then buy her. I hadn't even seen her, but she loved my Dad, so that was good enough for me.

Then we took a ferry ride to the island to pick her up. The moment I saw her, my heart melted. There is a picture attached of us when we first saw her and picked her up and cuddled her for the first time. My life felt complete. I had my baby..........and we were a family finally.

WE have had Norma Jean aka Jeanie since Jan now, and she is the love and light of our life. Every day I wake up to find her beautiful face, and we have a beautiful life together. She is as much a child as any skin baby could be to us. We treat her as such, and make her a complete part of our life. Anyone that knows us knows that Jeanie is #1 in our life. And everyone loves her too as she is a joy to know and have.

Right now my husband is on chemo therapy, and is very sick. She lays with him, snuggles him, gives him kisses when he needs them, and always kisses him when I lean over to give him his much needed hugs when he is feeling really badly. She is taking care of her Daddy right now. And it is beautiful.

So I couldn't be happier with my little blessing. My heart is full. Also, I was blessed to find all of you here to share in my happiness, and tell the stories, share pictures, and feel the love that you too have for your yorkie babies.

Thanks for letting me share my story :love:

I have put many pictures of her up, and did another thread of the most recent one of her.......but I will add it here also. The other two are just totally cute ones of her, being the character that she is (love the little tongue sticking out)

My little treasure :)

Thank you again everyone. It is because of the love that you all have for your babies that I can be so open and honest about the love I have for my Jeanie. I know you understand :)
