Tomorrow we will be getting a puppy to add to our other two Yorkie Terriers. It was in sharing about this anticipated day with my mother-in-law that we learned how much she wanted a dog for herself when she asked us for one of our other two Yorkies. She quickly denied that she was "serious" and aske
d us to forget the whole thing. However, we couldn't forget the request as it was evidence of what we already suspected, she was wanting "company" in the form of a dog. She had a Yorkie several years ago, but gave her up. Now she was seemingly longing for another Yorkie. So, the hunt began. We contacted a breeder near the breeder we were going to see tomorrow hoping we could pick up two pups in one trip. When that didn't work out, we turned to the want ads. There to, our delight, we were drawn to two different breeders. After two calls, and two messages and no return calls, we were worried that our desire to surprise my mother-in-law was not to be. Then the phone rang. We were off. On our way we stopped at Taco Bell for lunch. There, while we began to eat in the car and get back on the road, the phone rang. It was the second breeder. This time, we were drawn to this breeder first. After an hour we arrived at the breeders house. Once inside we were introduced to two female Yorkie pups, seven weeks old. While this 
breeder generally doesn't let the pups go prior to eight weeks, she was willing to let us take the pup after we shared with her that she was going home to two other mature Yorkies and a new pup that we were picking up tomorrow. After reviewing the pup's health record, we got back into the car and headed home to let our girls out prior to taking the pup to my mother-in-laws. We were already scheduled to pick her up so she could stay with us for a few days. We arrived at her house, with the pup wrapped in a blanket. She thought it was one of our dogs, so when we handed her, what she thought was our dog, we unwrapped the blanket expecting the find our dog, only to see a new pup with little bright eyes looking at her. She immediately thought we had gotten our new pup a day early. We corrected her and shared with her, that it was her new pup, Abby. She hug Abby and began to cry. It was a very moving moment. She was speechless and in disbelief. She was very grateful for her Christmas gift.
