I was told they were great for the retired, elderly and disabled. Well, I'm two out of three. I'm 56 and it's just like raising a baby again. However, this go around I have more patience, time and money.

I got Romeo at 35 but he was for my 36th birthday present!

I got Bo when I was 46 as a Christmas present for my children. We put him in a gift bag and he didn't make a peep. Then we made them sit on the couch for their surprise and placed the bag in their lap. The look on the faces when they opened the bag was priceless!

I wanted a Yorkie as my 35th birthday gift so my hubby, who calls me his spoiled brat, agreed we could get one. Maxx was intended to be my b-day present but when he never made it home, we found Piper. He came home 11 days after I turned 35. Loving every minute of him...except the once daily need to potty on the floor, the chewing of my coffee table...etc.

I had got an extra job (at a vet) to save up money when i was 17, because i had wanted a yorkie. Well i worked there for 6 months then i got laid off cuz they were really slow. I had saved quite a bit and i saw an ad in the paper and after convincing my parents, I got charlie for $500. It was truly the best money i ever spent.

wow thanks that's great to know. i find that interesting because a lot of times with acting dogs they use their real names. he's so cute!!!

alexandnugget · 07-12-2005, 11:01 AM

nugget was our first yorkie. my girlfriend had wanted a yorkie all her life, and talked about it very often. i never knew very much about little dogs, as i always likes boxers and pitts, but she had explained to me a lot about yorkies and how great they are. one day i was delivering pizza and i came across a breeder of yorkies who was exceptionaly friendly, and just happened to have a litter of 5 yorkies a week prior to meeting her. i took her number and my girlfriend and i went back the next day and met her yorkies(the 5 pups, mother and father, an 8 month old female from her last litter, and a very old yorkie that was her husbands who past away a few years back). after meeting the pups, the parents, and the breeder and many many visits each week, we took nugget home! i never thought i'd love such a little dog, but he's just like a son to us now!
