Our special year with Katie, another reason why I am grateful for YT

[Maximo]

Lisa, many YT members were overjoyed to hear your news when Katie became a part of your life. We knew how much you loved your girls and missed them. How sweet that Katie made Mother's Day more special, and a happy anniversary.

Katie is a gorgeous girl. I adore her happy tongue. With her love of life, she was meant to be yours.

Lisa,

That is Beautiful.... Thank you for sharing!!

My husband lost his mother in 2002 and still has a hard time on mothers day as well. We also just lost his mothers dog two years ago at the age of 15. Then I lost my 14yr old Basset in March this year. They are so very missed to this day!!

Lulu has been a blessing to both of us, healing our hearts with her love!! She was his birthday gift last August!! Brought tears to his eyes.....

She will be a year old the 31st of this month :

Thank you for sharing this with us, Lisa. I didn't know the entire story of how you got Katie. I knew she was a retired show dog and breeder, but I didn't realize how the other members here were involved.

I can never see too many pictures of Katie. That gorgeous girl with her Happy Tongue! Love me some Katie

Lisa my dearest friend. Such wonderful pics of Katie. This very special gal could not have gone to a more deserving home.

Truly it was by divine providence helped a lot by Jacqueline that this all came to pass

I really thank you for calling me Mothers Day, that you remembered....

[LilAnnCamp]

Love her tongue shots. Thanks for sharing your story.

Thank you all for your kind words and hearts. It means so much to me, and you reminded me again why I remained a part of this community for two years, even without a dog in my life. It was much longer than we had planned to wait, but we were waiting for a time that we could take care of a little one the way he/she deserves to be treated. Knowing the love and care that my husband gave to our other babies at the Rainbow Bridge, I knew it would be so difficult for him not to be able to get to and care for a little one if he/she needed his help. After eight prior back surgeries and an arm that he still needs surgery for, we were afraid to get another pup just yet. Jackie and Gail jumped at the moment when I said I wondered if we could care for an older pup. Gemy calls it serendipity because, just as I expressed this, our breeder had just told her that she was considering retiring Katie. Gemy and Jackie convinced us to see that we would be able to give Katie the care and love she deserved. Because I am unable to be far away from home in case my husband needs me, our breeder tried to enlist the help of her show friends who might be traveling closer to my home. We waited almost three months, and still no one was traveling with their pups to a show even remotely close to me. Jackie knew how desperately we wanted Katie, and she decided to make the trip herself. Nothing would deter her from her decision, and I tried, particularly when she badly injured her back just two weeks before the long drive to Canada. Listening to Gemy speak about our little girl, I had fallen so in love with her, and we would have been so heartbroken if something happened and we were unable to get Katie. Whatever she told our breeder was enough for her to entrust her precious Katie with us, and I am so grateful to all three of these special women. When I look at Katie, I am reminded of the love that brought us together and the dear friends I have because of YorkieTalk. I love being able to share photos of my little girl with you, and I appreciate all that you have said about our precious Katie.

Your story is so touching.
I must say Katie is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. Pure perfection of the breed! Thank you so much for sharing!

[MauiGirl]

I am so happy for all the joy you have found with your beautiful Katie.

It appears to be a match made in heaven, and you are so blessed to have each other.

Thanks for sharing your touching story, and Happy (belated) Mother's day.

You are always close to my heart, and that was long before Katie came into our lives. It was my privilege to speak to you on such a special day. Though the miles of distance keeps us far away, I am never more than a phone call away if you ever need me. Thank you for your huge role in bringing Katie into our lives. Your belief and support of me means more to me than I could ever express.
