Teacup Pup

 


Anna loved dogs with all her heart and passionate soul.  Every breed meant so much to her.  She often found herself lost in research about the history of various breeds, temperaments, and training.  She enjoyed looking into dogs available in the local humane society.  The photos and stories were sweet and left her with a want...

...that on one crisp, sunny Fall Saturday, her mom let her explore in person to adopt.  

"Anna, honey, I have to stop by my office for a few minutes and then we can go."

"Okay, Mom."

Anna and her mom drove in excited silence on the way to the office.  Anna was over the moon in eager wonderment about which dog she hoped for.

"Anna, just a few more seconds and then we're off!"

And then off they went.


Teacup Pup Boutique
Every once in a while, she and her mom would window shop along the block that the office was on.  Teacup Pup Boutique was adorable but not quite what she wanted.  Her eye was always on a Labrador.  On this Saturday though, a teacup pup nearest the window looked into her eyes as she just passed the door.  

"Say Mom, can we go into Teacup Pup Boutique?"

"Oh.  Of course we can, but I thought you wanted to look at the humane society?"

She glanced further into the boutique and in a surprising tone,

"Mom, I think I know which dog I want to adopt."

When they walked into Teacup Pup Boutique, all of the little, furry, adorably barking dogs said hello to them in their own way.  If they could -

"Pick me! 

"Pick me!

"Pick me!"

And so on.

They were all very cute but the one that caught her attention just outside was the one - in her loving heart and passionate soul.

As Anna and her mom went through the adoption process and fee, one of the staff members said,

"Please be assured that Teacup Pup Boutique partners with the local humane society.  All of our dogs are well taken care of  while the humane society cares for bigger size dogs."


Her teacup pup in his little bundle of love was a Yorkie and somehow the name of his breed stuck as his name to her.

Anna was sometimes unsure of Teacup Pup Boutique as not being a formal shelter or branch of the humane society but at the end of this perfect Saturday, she knew in her heart and soul that Yorkie was the perfect choice from a shop that cared for their little ones as much as the shelter and humane society did.
