She weight only 3.3 LBS so she was a tinny little thing with lots of spunk far and above her size. I know it sounds silly, that such a little dog, could be of any value to a person.
When My sister got her from a abusive home, Hallie was one scared little girl. Because of the abuse she recieved she always coward from men, at first. Hallie would eventually get over her fear of the men in the family.
In the days and weeks after my sister brought her home, my sister would drop off my "hairy niece" to be baby sat, for Yorkie can have seperation anxiety so bad they can die. Thats why owners will have several dogs to keep themselves company.
In my case I became the dogsitter for I was out of work, due to a massive back injury. Over the year I couldn't believe my eyes as I seen this little dog , something I never gave much credit to, how smart they can be in general. I could bore you with endless stories of things she did to suprise the whole family. In a nut shell Hallie exibited the mental ability approxamately to a 3 year old.
So to me she always was the little girl, to me and the family. She stayed with my sister in the later years at her house, and Hallie finally got, a friend, in the form of a another Yorky named Daisy.
When she came over to "visit" if my sister went away for a trip. The funny part is seeing a little dog trying to convince the family to live all in the same house, so she could be with everybody.
My sister has been married for 3 years know and still hasn't had any children, so the dogs are her children.
And so as I type this theirs a 35 year old getting misty eyed over the eventual death of a 3 pound dog.
But I feel like my sister just lost a her daughter.Rifleman 336
