Why I love Shorkies!

Daisy and I were having a lazy morning today. Her poor belly is getting so big and she's to that state where she just likes to lay all stretched out on the bed. I'm so excited for the new puppies to join our crazy little home! The thing I love most about this breed is how cuddly they are all the time. I've never met another dog that actually puts their arms around you when you pick them up for a cuddle! It's also fun to have a dog that is just as loving to others when they come to visit. This may be a bit much if your not a dog lover, but Daisy just lavishes all her love onto anyone that comes to visit us.

Her puppies were very much like this as well. I love the look of the Yorkie, but not so much the skittish personality and they can be quite yappy as well. My neighbor has a Yorkie her name is Ebony. I love Ebony and I'm pretty sure Ebony is quite fond of me as she loves to hang out in my yard! However, after knowing her for two years I have yet to ever hold her. She lets you get just close enough to think you might pet her, before she runs away. So by mixing the Yorkie with the Shih Tzu I get a teeny tiny dog that looks very similar to a Yorkie, but is sweet and loving like a Shih Tzu. Its the best of both worlds!

I have shaved Daisy's belly and we are in the two week countdown to whelping day! I went over to Kim's to get all the puppy supplies, and will be putting her whelping box together later today. It's definitely the calm before the storm right now!
