Tiffany, the Dog of the Day
Name: Tiffany
Age: Deceased, Eleven years old
Gender: Female Breed: Yorkshire Terrier
Home: Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
 
   I had always wanted a Yorkie and even had her name picked out long before we got her. When we went to pick her out, she was four months old and although not the "typical" looking Yorkie because she was heavy, she had a winning personality we couldn't refuse. Her registered name was Terri's Tiny Tiffany Ann and we had a bond so strong, she was my baby. She was my little shadow, following me wherever I went, and when I sat down she was always right there with me. When I was gone she would not eat or drink and waited for me on our chair or on the bed. We bred her twice and she was a very loving and protective mother. She was a little trooper and went camping with us, even going on the long trails and rafting down the river. She would sit on my lap by the camp fires and curl up next to us in our tent at night. When she was seven, we had a house fire while we were gone and she was the only pet out of four that survived. We lost our five-year-old male Yorkie and two cats, one we had for sixteen years. Her survival is the only thing that got me through the tragedy. Although she developed heart problems later, we were blessed to have her with us for four more years before she was taken from us. Her ashes are in a special redwood box with her pictures on it, sitting on my headboard shelf. Her place will be in my casket with me, because there isn't any other place she or I would want her to be.
