the beginning of Maggie Mae

Only one thing made spending the day with my bestie, Laurie

and her girls, Lindsey (there linz, I put your name in my blog)

and Jessica better.....

The bestie bringing not just Taco Soup but all the fixings

aaannnnnddddd dessert!!!!

Yes, I love my bestie.

So Laurie and I, we have been talking a lot lately about

whether or not her baby girl, Jessica was ready for

a puppy. This child loves her animals like my baby girl with

the same name loved hers.

After many, many, talks and much searching on besties part,

she finally decides that this is the year, this is the year

that they will bring a Yorkie into her home.

I am quite impressed with all the work she has done

to find the perfect pet.

Yesterday, when she says she is going to drive

to Pierre Part to see these little pups who

have been breeded by a woman who owns both the

momma and the daddy yorkies and they are both on

the premises to view, I just could not pass up

the chance not only to go and see these baby pups

but to see her Jessica choose her own pup.

Jessica took one view of the three that were up for adoption

and knew exactly which one was going to be hers.

She named her Maggie Mae and I loved it from

the very beginning, perfect name for a perfect pup.

I was very impressed with the breeder.

A young mother of two, she spoke of her dogs

as though she loved them as much as her children.

She spoke of how she guarantees them for a year

because she never wants her puppies to be in a home where they

are not wanted. Quite impressed I was with her.

So impressed that knowing my checkbook was in my purse,

it was hard for me not to write out a check for the little

boy pup that captured me and Laurie's heart.

If HOBL had been home and said get it,

I would have come home with another pup.

Especially when I saw that this pet owner

had the momma and the poppa yorkie and a poodle.

I was thinking, well if she can have three, can't I?

Okay so back to Jessica's story.

I was so darn glad I was part of this.

The happiness on her face was priceless to the point

that I felt the gro-cud when she held this little girl

close and said, "this one is mine"

I am so glad Laurie opted out of surprising her for Christmas

and decided to let her choose her own puppy.

Now to tell you about this 1 and a half pound pup.....

She landed up spending the day at my house,

leaving at 7 and she was amazing.

She ate, drank, then Jessica put her on

Jake's puppy pad..... and she peed!

She peed like that not once, not twice but three times

on the pad. Then she decided to really impress

the 5 people who were here, she pooped on the pad!

She is better trained than Trixie and she is like 6 weeks old!

I shared with my bestie I am so proud that she made

this decision for Jessica because I regret not letting

my babies have their own puppies growing up.

We had one for a short time. a maltese but

that was not the kind of dog for a child,

too much work.

Yorkies have to be the very best pups to love and care for.

A child deserves to have a puppy to love, nurture and

care for and I have no doubt that Jessica will do that.

The other thing I learned while watching this young

breeder with her parent dogs and pups....

I want to be a breeder one day.

At my lake house where I will have chickens

and a goat I will also be a yorkie breeder.

HOBL and I had talked about it but watching

her and seeing how easy she made it look,

I want to do that and like I told

bestie, she paid her Christmas,

4 puppies+$800 dollars each= a paid Christmas.

HOBL said we have to wait for another pup

until we retire but I swear had he said

go get one, I would be on the road to

Pierre part today.
