Love at First Sight

Winston my 3-year-old toy yorkie is truly the love of my life. We met him when he was 6 months old at a mall parking lot in Northern Virginia. His prior owner didn't want him anymore because she had gotten accepted into some college program and thought having a dog would be too much.

My Boyfriend (now husband) and I fell in love with him instantly. He was just this tiny, quiet, scruffy little guy. I will never forget taking him home the first night we had him. He was so nervous just as we were, I don't think I slept at all that night. I just kept looking at him. He quickly adapted to our little family, and since then, we take him everywhere. He goes on vacations, out to eat with us - we even take him to run errands with us.

I can't imagine our lives without this little 4 pound pup! I am now pregnant and due any day and I can't wait to see the big brother Winston will be to our baby. I get very excited thinking about that. Winston has changed our Iives for the better.
