He's an absolute doll, and just the right size for GiGi to play with! He's out of my price range, but I hope he finds the wonderful loving home he deserves.

Wow! you are sooo talented!! I wish I can do one of those for my Ninna! If you do those professionally let me know!!

About Connor, he is a total cutie! I am sure you will find a forever home for him soon!!

Good luck!!
Keep us updated!:)

I do pencil portraits at home while the kids are at school. You can go to www.kimsartisticexpressions.com and see some of my work. For a drawing like Connors, 11 X 14 just the head is $75.00. Thanks for asking! Kim

He's a cutie pie! I hope he finds his new home soon and your artwork is awesome!:thumbup:

Oh, too bad I already have my hands full with 4. They are keeping me so busy. Connor looks adorable and you are right around the corner from me. I'll keep my eyes open for anyone that is looking for a yorkie. People at the dog park are always asking me where I got mine. Everyone always thinks they are so cute.

How old was Connor in the picture you posted?

Good luck finding a home for Connor.

Connor was six months old in that picture.

OCD is Obsessive/Complusive Disorder. I do not think the OP was really saying she has this disorder, but instead means that as she gets older she wants things more in order, less muss and fuss, etc. Probably between 2 small children and a dog, it is just too much for her.
I am just the opposite. I get less obsessive/complusive as I get older. Over the years, I have learned life goes much smoother if I pick my battles or anixety causing situations.
Based on the OP's children's ages vs my adult children's ages, I am assuming she is much younger than I am.
To the OP, good luck in finding the perfect home for Connor. He is a cutie!

Jazzy Girl you are completely correct. I feel really bad that I have unintentionally led others to believe that I have a disorder. I do not. I was just being sarcastic about my need to control everything in my life. Unfortunately my fears, worries, ecetera, get worse as I get older. For instance I used to fly on planes with little worry, now when I fly I am near hyterics. I actually got off of a plane in August because it was so small. I worry when I ride amusement park rides now that they may break while I am on them. I want my house clean always. It bothers me that laundry is never finished. Never! These are the things I was referring to.
I just recently joined this group and I have to say you guys are very kind and loving. Every since I posted the message about Connor, I have read your messages on this board and others. I read about your love for your dogs and I think it has given me a different look at Connor. He really is a good dog. We just need to work through some issues together. I think he is just going through the terrible twos. My children did the same and I still kept them around! Thanks you guys.

he is so cute and i would love to have him i already have two yorkies that are my babies but 1000 dollars is a little steep for me right now at christmas let me know if you come down on the price. he would be so loved here in tn ;)

Hope you find a great home..he is so handsome. :)

OCD.....ha ha ha,.....now that was too funny....
 

Who did you purchase your little guy from? I am somewhat familiar with the Georgia breeders....although, it may be a local person.....

He is a cutie, I must admit.....

I purchased him from Ty Ava Yorkies in Marietta

Have you told Ava that you need to rehome him yet? If not, it is important that you do, I know she would want to know and she may know someone really good that would make a good home for him. I have in my puppy contracts that the owner must contact me if they can no longer keep their pup from me. It gives me a chance to buy them back or help find a suitable home.
T.

Can you come live with me and influence my thoughts on MY laundry ?? I find the older I get ....the LESS I care about it :D :D

ALL THE BEST TO YOU with Conner - does this mean he is staying ?? With that face - he should have no problem finding a new home - but if you CAN keep him ...try to remember how much HE LOVES you - you may find things get on your nerves less often....Yorkies really can be a handful and I just said to someone mine make a bigger mess in the house than my kids did I think - but in the BIG picture - they bring me far much more & I count my blessings that they're happy and better - HEALTHY

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER;;; keep Connor you won't regret it!
 

this is worth another read ....

IF I HAD MY LIFE TO LIVE OVER

written after the author found out she was dying from cancer

I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren’t there for the day.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

I would have eaten the popcorn in the ‘good’ living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.

I would have never insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not have worried about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn’t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Instead of wishing away nine months of pregnancy, I’d have cherished every moment and realised that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.

When the kids kissed me impetuously, I would have never said, ‘Later now go get washed for dinner.’ There would have been more ‘I love yous’, more ‘I’m sorrys’,

But mostly given another shot at life, I would seize every minute … look at it and really see it … live it … and never give it back.

Stop sweating the small stuff. Don’t worry about who doesn’t like you, who has more or who’s doing what. Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

Let us think about what GOD has blessed us with. And what we are doing each day to promote ourselves mentally, physically, emotionally, as well as spiritually.

Life is too short to let it pass you by. We have only this one shot at this and then it’s gone.

I hope you all have a blessed day.

Just an idea -- There is a lady in Washington that started a post wanting an older Yorkie as a companion for a 4 year old Yorkie she has. She sounds like she could really give Connor a wonderful life. The distance is an obstacle but I mentioned in a post to her that with all the family and friends traveling over the holidays maybe someone could help out a little. It would be so good to find Connor a home with someone already looking to love another Yorkie!

:eek: I just saw your post .... my Toto is a TyAva baby and she is just perfect! She just turned three years this past July. Do you have a copy of his pedigree that you could post? :) I was wondering too if you have talked to Ava about rehoming him? People are always wanting babies from her so I'm sure she would probably know of lots who would love to give him a loving home. When we bought Toto, it was like adopting a human child ... she is picky about where her babies go! ;)

V,
I'm the same way, the older I get the less I care about being perfect. I think being around illness does that to you also. You begin to realize what really matters. And in the grand scheme of things, a perfect house comes, pretty low on the list.

I've decided if my dogs ruin my carpet, I'm switching to hard floors.

hahahaha - I beat you to it - got the tile ALL thru the house this time:) But you're right - it could be being around illness cause it's just in the last year or so I changed how I feel about things - I used to have so many routines - work ...cleaning etc... and now - if I don't do something on a given day it's ok cause I know it'll still be waiting the next day


and KIM16 ....Hang this on your fridge - it may get you thru some of those 'off' times - and just remember - he's lives for your approval & love. He'll do 'dog' things yes.... but his heart is in your hands.
