Friends of ours had to put to sleep their beloved Yorkshire terrier, Gus, in the early spring. They were telling everyone “no more dogs” and gave away all of the dogs items they possessed. Then this summer, new friends came into their lives that had a Yorkshire terrier, Tinker. Tinker on occasion would need a puppy sitter and Tina who is 93 years young, volunteered to be that person. Tina lives with her son Dave, and the two of them fell in love with Tinker and realized that they really missed having a companion of their own. So the search for a new “Yorkie” began. A “Yorkie” was found and the puppy that was coming to live with Tina and Dave was a girl dog, and she was going to need all kinds of things!

Now all of us girls got to thinking about this situation and decided to throw Tina a puppy shower! We sent out invitations and ordered balloons that claimed “It’s a Girl” and had a dog centerpiece and a cake decorated with tiny dog biscuit shaped candy. Tina was so surprised and claimed that this was the first shower she ever had! She received all kinds of puppy things, from small dog girl clothes to small toys and treats. The day after the puppy shower “Truffles” arrived in a small basket lined with a pink blanket. The last I talked to Tina, she still was floating on cloud nine over the shower and the new puppy!
