Meet Jill, Eddie and Rusty's little sister
 

I'd like to introduce the newest addition to our pack, Jillian. She's an 11-week-old Yorkie with the body of a peanut and the courage of a lion.

The story of her coming into our lives is too long to recount in its entirety, so I'll just give you the highlights:

* She's 11 weeks old today, born on Easter Sunday.
* Her dad is parti-colored. Her Mom is standard colored.
* She was whelped by Kimberly King, who is feminvstr on YT.
* She is not from Kimberly's line of champion dogs. Kimberly handled the birth through the adoption for a friend.
* She was named in honor of recently departed Jack. ... Jack fell down and broke his crown, and Jill came, uh, frolicking after. :) I wanted Jill from the beginning, but Kelly wanted something more girlie. After months of negotiating, we settled on Jillian. Jillian Bijou, if I correctly overheard Kelly whispering to her tonight. :p To me, she's Jill. ;)
* We got her as a pet-quality Yorkie and will have her spayed.
* She's small, just 1 pound, 12 ounces now. I'm hoping for 4, 4 1/2 as an adult.
* Her personality is amazing. We introduced her to Eddie and Rusty tonight, and she didn't have a second's hesitation. She's going to rock their world.
* It's 4:22 a.m., she's sleeping soundly, and I can't stop staring at her.

It was a long search that started with looking at rescues and ended up with me realizing that I wanted a pup. My one regret with Jack was I only had the last three years of his life with him. And my one regret with Eddie is I wasn't around to ensure the first weeks of his life were perfect. And as I've become more involved in training, I decided this once I wanted to see what I can do with a dog that was reared the way they are supposed to be reared and raised the way they are supposed to be raised.

I have no doubt our adventures will take twists and turns that I never imagined, but I can't wait to get started.

Wahoooooooooo!!!

Congratulations!!!! She is a real cutie!!!!!

(Now I need to go actually read your post :rolleyes:)

Congarts on your little girl!!! I love the name (both of them) and the story behind them. She is adorable!!!!

Tell me about it. Kelly went to pick her up, and the last thing she slipped into her bag was a pink sweater. Fortunately, she bought one too small. But I do see she came with a pink bunny and a pink blanket. :rolleyes:

Oh, and my pic caught her when she was looking scruffy after a long day's travel. Check her out at 3 weeks in one of Kimberly's pictures.

WOW!!!! Congrats! I love the name Jillian!!!! Can't wait to watch her grow and boss around her brothers :) Now she needs some cute *girly* winter clothes :D

OMG....is that too dang cute, she looks like she is curling up into a ball, like a roly poly puppy :D I have a yorkie statue in a very similar position.
