Something About Christy Too



This isn't the very best picture of Christy...but since she now sleeps about 20 hours a day it is difficult to get one when she is actually awake!

Christy was born September 7, 1991. My late husband, Chuck, gave her to me as a Christmas present that year. She is a pet shop dog which accounts for why her she has floppy ears and has always been much bigger than a "normal" yorkie!

Christy is a "loner" and while I am sure that she loves me in her little "doggy way" she isn't a cuddler and doesn't like to be held. When she wants something to eat I am her best friend but if she isn't hungry then she prefers to alone.

She didn't get along too well with Mousie. They both wanted to be the "alpha dog" and Christy usually won out because she weighed 14 lbs. to Mousie's 4.5 lbs. Fur went flying when they both wanted the same thing at the same time! A year or so ago Christy became blind and deaf and lost all interest in "arguing" with Mousie so the last year has been pretty quiet. She doesn't seem to miss her "little sister," much prefering to be an only "child" at this point in her life! Maybe she will stay awake for a while and I can post a picture of her face on another posting!
