Jersey, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jersey
Age: 2 1/3 years old
Gender: Female Breed: Yorkshire Terrier
Home: Portland, Tennessee, USA
 
   Jersey came to us when she was thirteen weeks old straight from the breeder to the airport to me. We decided to name her Jersey because the breeder was from New Jersey. She is the happiest dog in the world and spoiled rotten. My husband stated he didn't want a "little yippie dog" when I told him I wanted one. Jersey was a surprise for the whole family because I didn't tell anyone we were getting her until she arrived. My husband said Yorkshire Terriers just aren't worth it. Well, 2 1/2 years later she is his "best friend" and I believe he loves her more than he does me or the kids. He is the one that went and got her the first night she started crying when it was bedtime, and put her in our bed. She has been there since. He is the one that every night when we eat supper, he also makes Jersey a small plate of whatever it is we have. He is the one that, every night when it is time for bed, she wanders into the bedroom for bed and stands at the side of the bed and waits for him to pick her up and put her on the bed because she is "too tired" to jump up there herself. He will not allow anyone to scold her or tell her "bad girl" because he can't take her sad face. When it is time for us to go somewhere, Jersey loves to go. She doesn't care where we are going or how long we will be gone as long as she is going. She is always the first one out the door and ready to go. You can find her waiting by the car door for us to let her in. She is now the 7th member of our family.
