What made you decide to buy a Yorkie: My sister had a yorkie named Rhett Butler. We described Rhett as "Yorkie Extraordinaire!" He was the sweetest, lovable, funniest dog and he could say, Ra Ruv Roo (I love you). I was his favorite person and they couldn't say my name around their house unless they were coming to visit me, because Rhett would get so excited and start barking and carrying on. They started spelling my name, but he caught onto that too. He was such a joy. I was lucky in that whenever my sister and brother-in-law traveled, Rhett got to stay with me, and lucky for me, they traveled a lot! We had to get Rhett put to sleep the day after Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. I still miss him so and still cry thinking of my little Rhett. It was knowing and loving little Rhett that gave me a love for the Yorkie breed.

Have/do you have any other pets: I have an aviary full of birds...mostly different species of finches and canaries. A lovebird named Chico that we got for my son many years ago and he didn't like my son, but loved me, so became my bird. I've got a little tame bird named Dusty that I rescued from the aviary that the parents were not feeding. By the time I noticed, only 1 baby was living out of 3, so I handfed the little guy and now he doesn't know he's a bird. LOL Has to have a cage all by himself and used to get out of his cage often, but with Maddie around, he doesn't get out too often anymore since Maddie wants to bite him. LOL

What are your hobbies?: Papercrafts, rock painting, gardening, mosaic, internet...and my main hobby is my little yorky!

Are you married/engaged/dating/single?: Married

Does your significant other love Yorkies as much as you?: Not really

Do you have any children? If so, what are their ages and how are they doing with your Yorkie?: I have two kids. My daughter is 30 and has two boys. My son is 21 and in college a couple of hours from here.

[Passionfruition]

Your name: Valerie (Schooling) Martin

Your Yorkie's name and ages: Sully, 8 months

Where are you from: Charleston, SC (Mount Pleasant, SC)

What made you decide to buy a Yorkie: I have NEVER had a dog. Since we moved to Johnson City, I've made very few friends and have been lonely. I thought about getting a dog, and begged and begged.... My husband has always wanted a yorkie - my uncle has one and he was sold. (He had a wire-haired terrier as a child, Rosie, his favorite childhood pet.) Anyway, Eli said YES and we got Sully.

Have/do you have any other pets: Penny Lane, my 3yr old Himalayan cat, and "Tom & Jerry", our 2 goldfish.

What are your hobbies?: I love writing, for fun - talking....storytelling, playing with Sully. I teach swimming lessons to children (have for 5 years now). I love web design and graphics, though I'm new at this photoshop stuff. I also have a small on-the-side wedding photography business. I love taking photos! I take pride in writing fun-to-read, creative blogs on my website.

Are you married/engaged/dating/single?: Newlywed! (Eli & I married in February 2004). 13 months is still newlywed, isn't it?

Does your significant other love Yorkies as much as you?: Yes, he is the one that insisted that we get a yorkie in the 1st place....and then I turned into the fanatic, LOL! Sully is our pride and joy!

Do you have any children? My pets are my children! We want kids, but think we will wait about 5 years to start a family - so Eli can finish school and we can save up some money, get established with a job, etc. (My husband is the oldest of 7 kids! He's in no hurry, but does have a great sense of family and looks forward to having his own one day.)

Anything else interesting that will help us to get to know you better?:
- I hate living in Johnson City!
- But I do like my job - I'm a newswriter for the Johnson City Press. It's my 1st job out of college (real job).
- I met my husband waiting tables at Dixie Stampede, a dinner theater owned by Dolly Parton in Gatlinburg, TN.
- My husband and I were married on the beach on Sullivan's Island, SC.
- I graduated college with a degree in Mass Communication (Advertising/Public Relations/Journalism) from Carson-Newman College in December of 2003.)
- My husband and I were both born in 1981.
