PERFECT PUPPY!!!

2 years ago Chris and I moved to Kansas City after graduating from college. When we moved here, I told him we had to live somewhere that would allow us to get a puppy. So we found a duplex that allowed pets. Less than 2 months after we moved in, I told Chris I was ready to start looking for a puppy. So we went around to different pet shops and researched online to find the "type" of puppy that we would like to have. Something small, but not too small. Something that would not shed all over our house and that would be nice so when we have kids it will be okay to have around. So i did my research and found all the types of dogs that met those requirements. We hadn't really started to actually go to stores to buy, just to look to see what was out there. Then, one Sunday afternoon, Chris' mom brought over a newspaper and we saw an add for "Yorktese Puppies" for sale. A Yorktese is a Yorkie/Maltese mix. Both breeds are shedless and pretty small. So I called the people in the newspaper and we decided we would go look the next day. We brought a kennel with us (just in case we liked what we saw). We got there and they had only 2 little puppies left. They kept them outside in a big barn with a bunch of other dogs so they were really dirty, smelled like urine and just looked grungy. But of course, as soon as I saw the puppies, I just had to have one! We actually almost bought BOTH of them, but we decided to just stick with one since our place was small and they weren't house broken yet. The white one just ran around and was oblivious to us even being there. But the smaller puppy that was black, brown and tan came up to us and licked us and started to check us out. After about 5 minutes, I looked at Chris and we both knew we were leaving with that puppy. He smelled AWEFUL and his hair was so long and grown out, I'm not sure how we fell in love with him, but we did!!! We took him home that night and gave him 4 showers to get him smelling better... Here is a picture BEFORE his haircut... Still very cute though!

After he got his haircut he looked more like a pet, not a wild beast! I'm not sure how we lucked out to find the PERFECT PUPPY, but we managed to do it! I really don't think there was any other puppy out there for us! He was meant to be our buddy and he is perfect! I love every bit of him!


I love snuggling him up in a blanket when he's really tired. He runs around our backyard so much that he gets exhausted! Then he lays down and I put a blanket around him and he just stays there (normally when he's not tired, he doesn't stay put!)

I can't resist that beautiful smile! It's that cute smile that allows him to get away with anything, he's just too cute! I love you puppy! You really are the PERFECT PUPPY!!!

PS- If you ever want to come and meet him personally before you go out and buy a pet (you know, to see what a perfect puppy is like), feel free to come on out to Kansas City and visit! Bauer loves visitors and would make your stay very pleasant!
