My First

I have lived 47 years without ever having an animal living in my home. Never thought I wanted one until I met Emme! She is a 2.5 lb Yorkie and has become a precious addition to our family. Meet my first furbaby! Emme celebrated her first birthday in December. Yep you guessed it, we made it special for her with extra treats. I have missed so much over the years, thank goodness I came to my senses.

Whoa, is she cute or what??? Alabama has some good bloggers and nice to see you're one of them.

Aloha!

Valerie, I am thinking about making that leap myself and I applaud your leap - yeah Emme!

Valerie, our first dog as a married couple was a Yorkie. I would have another one in a minute. They are so precious and so smart! Yours is a real cutie.

How in the world can you have lived without pets? My pets are my friends who are always there for me. =) They make life more fulfilling. You have so much fun, and rewarding experiences ahead of you =^.^=

Oh my -- I can certainly see why you have the wonderful pet. I have always had a pet -- dogs and cats -- they are the best! Enjoy

Congratulations on adding a new member to the family. There have only been a very few years of my life, mostly in college and law school, when I didn't have a pet, and I missed it.

Everyone: Thank you so much for your supportive comments. I have had pets, just not domesticated. We had horses and outside dogs. I grew up in a home that could take the white glove test and my Daddy thought an animal in the house would not keep the good housekeeping seal of approval. I thought it was ridiculous when I was younger but I became a clean freak when I married and moved out. It took me a long time but thank goodness I saw the light! I am still a clean freak but it is easy with Emme. She got me through the rough times this past year when I didn't feel like talking! Thanks again for taking the time to post a comment!

JOANNE: TAKE THE PLUNGE, IT WILL BE THE BEST GIFT YOU EVER GAVE YOURSELF!

Val, she looks like such a sweetheart! My daughter's Yorkie is the first one in our family, and we love her to pieces!

JAN

Awww... Emme's name suits her so well. That sweet little face. Yorkie's are so expressive!
