By chance we met....
 

I have been looking to get a female yorkie for some time now, when I 1st got Trigger(my boy) I had originally planned to get a girl but picked him instead. As of Sat. he has a big sister!!! We have a vendor sale in my town every month called "Trade Days." I have been once, and it just isnt' my thing.

Here comes the great part, on Sat. I had BIG shopping/hair appt. plans. A whole girls day in Houston. But at the last minute my husband was told that his dept. (he is a Sgt. at the Sheriff's Dept.) was going to have a program at Trade Days for "Fallen Officers" & they wanted him to be there. Of course that meant he wanted me to be there. I wasn't exactly thrilled, but I knew it meant a lot because we had a friend pass away in the line of duty exactly 2 years ago.

As soon as we got there my son wanted food, and hubby took off with another officer in a MULE to chk out the vendors. He was gone a while, and I was complaining to my friend how bored I was. (I was just working the food booth that the Sherriff DEpt. was running. ) Then he called, and said..."Hey babe there is a lady in the back with a bunch of yorkies that she is selling. " Hmmm, so I thought I would just chk her out. If anything else just to hold a puppy for a little bit.

But, when I got there she & her family were sitting with all these yorkies that were adorable. She had 2 that I fell in love with INSTANTLY. How much I asked thinking I was going to get some outrageous quote.... $300 for the un-spayed female that was 3, and $200 for her spayed mother that is 6, I nearly fell out. I felt like I was stealing the dog!!! They were beautiful, AKC registered and very obviousely pampered by her several older teenage daughters. They were very unhappy to be selling them, said it was the hardest decision she ever had to make. (She had a husband who did not look well, so I am assuming he was ill and possibly the reason she had to make a sudden cut back.)

I called my husband to come see the girl I wanted, he immediately paid for her. I saw all of their papers, they all had her name as the breeder so I know she wasn't some theif or anything like that. They were all crying as each of them went. And, she has called everyday to chk on Sugar & make sure she is adjusting. She gave me the list of favorite foods, snacks & such & told me that they were all use to sleeping with ppl. (which is clear now that Sugar thinks the middle of my bed is HERS.) All in all, Sugar has been wonderful here! She is spoiled rotten, and has thought she ran this house from the moment that she came home.

And to make it better, my best friend, who lost her pekignese & mother in law last month has been wanting a yorkie too, since her 9 year old daughter has become so attached to Trigger. I called her, and she came to see Abbey, my girls mom, and she got her!! I was soooo excited. They have been together their whole lives, & get to stay close!!!

Since she has been here, I have bathed & blow dried her, for both she was a pro... turning and positioning her head so that I could get the right places. She doesn't want to wear her ponytail though. So, here are some pics of her perfectness!!!

What a great deal on a yorkie you got. She is darling congrats!

wow what a cutie, what a happy ending, im certain the family is happy she ended up with someone so loving

Great story... and what a cute pup :D

congratulations on your new girl. she is pretty.

Congratulations!! She is beautiful!!!

Aww, What a great story, She is an adorable little princess:aimeeyork

Wow, she is beautiful! Congratulations!

Aaaaw what a great story! See, you were just meant to go to that event, you were led to your very own sweet Sugar. That little girl just drew you to her - she needed you to come find her and be her new Mama.Congratulations, she is beautiful!

Edit: I just love that last Taco Bell pic.... that precious little profile sitting on her Daddy's lap. I hope here original owner knows what a loving home she has gone to, and takes comfort from that.

She sure is cute...how big is she?

Thanks for the compliments ladies!! We appreciate it. I forgot to mention that she & Trigger are NOT getting along too well. HE is just too feisty for her. She is calm & just wants to chill. He wants to bite her ears & such. She is NOT down for that & she let him know quick who the boss was. Now, he cowers down when she even walks past him. It's weird because her previous owner had so many yorkies, and she got along so well with them, and obviousely her mom. But, Trigger is just too rambunctious for her taste I guess. LOL. I have some pics of them together that I will post later.

She is 4lbs & 2ounces. She is a dainty lil thang!

She is beautiful..It was meant to be..

Shes beautiful, Im so glad your Husband saw them and you was able to get her and her mom.

She is beautiful Congratulations...I have always said things happen for a reason...It was meant to for you to have her:D

Congratulations, she is a sweetheart, very adorable!

wow..she is beautiful!! I am so glad you were able to get her. I am sure her and Trigger will get along better soon. It was like that in my house for a while...my cocker did NOT like having a baby sister. And maggie was scared of her. But now, my 26 lb cocker cowers away from my 6 lb yorkie LOL

so, it will get better :) Just have to watch them for a bit and be sure to treat them equal. you don't want one being jealous of the other. :) IMO

What a great story, she is just a little doll. So happy it all worked out so perfectly for both of you, though I have no doubt that it was a very difficult decision for this woman and family.

What a happy story..I'm so happy for you..and your friend, and these 2 babies that sound like they got fantastic homes. And bless your husband, enough of these officers don't get shown the appreciation they deserve..sounds like you have a fantastic hubby too...:)

YAY!

I love, "meant to be" stories and she is sooo cute. Her lofty attitude is easy to see.;)

The lord works in mysterious ways
 

:D I've heard it said "If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans"


wasn't that much better than the stuff you had planned for that day?



She's adorable....

She's adorable! What a wonderful story! :thumbup:

She's beautiful :)

congrats on your new girl... what a steal!!! :D

I took her to be groomed today, mainly to get her nails clipped & she came home with a pink feather boa sweater that is adorable, and a pink bow in her hair (which she absolutely HATES.) But, she;s extra tired. I guess all that work at the groomer made her sleepy. Otherwise, I would take pics. Trigger likes when she naps, cuz then he can run around like he is the boss. lol. When she wakes up he takes cover in my son's room. It's too funny.
