They call them 'Lap Dogs

We lost Beau-Beau was a Yorkiepoo. He was part human too.!!! I know everybody says that about their dogs but I must ,emphatically, state, the case , that he was really. He really was. It has been almost a year and our hearts are still sad in his passing. What he meant to me during all kinds of bouts of Chemo-radiation and too many other ailments, to add up , can not be 'fully measured'
Well our Belle and our Sunny two Yorkies. ? Belle a divine creature and loving and smart and full of energy and enthusiasm--that would be there to try to heal our hearts-Sunny ? well Sunny has never ,quite, taken the job of 'Dog' very seriously at all. He only needs a good meal a pillow to --well a pillow to--well lets leave it there.
Into this mix Bonnie said "I want another small yorkie. A very small New little Yorkie"
Son Zach and I said "We do not need another dog. Belle is the star here and our hearts are trained on her. It is a nice warm combination. She wants our love and we give it gladly. No need for another dog "
"I would love to have another dog "
"o.k but I want the essennce of the Poodle. The 'essennce of Beau. Something that will not be him but something that will help us to always be reminded of Him."
Well we started looking. Zach and I reluctantly 'looking'. It would have been fine if we never found what we were looking for. Just fine it would be.
We even called the folks from whence Beau came. Bonnie said we could not do that after all Beau had a heart defect and left us much too soon. "

We continued our search
We saw some pictures on the Internet.
"Hey this is cute. What is a Maltipoo"/
"Well it is a cross between a Maltiese and a Toy Poodle".
"Well I like the look of these dogs. Kinda' cute. Maybe we could look into that.? I have no idea what a Maltese does , or is, or what it's 'characteristics are but it sure is cute."
Zach named her Lilly
How do I know that she is the ,was the, cutest Puppy dog of all time ?
Because when I took her to the Vet , as a puupy, all of the attendants let out crys of 'OOOHHH AHHHH adorable" They followed her from room to room. When she was returned to me and the room from whence she started all of the attendants came walking into the room with her .
Oh she has cost a fortune as she swallowed up a small fortune-very small fortune but a large fortune to go inside of her to fish the foprtune out in dimes and pennies which could have kiled her when she was so young. The Vet folks call her 'Littl;e Miss Moneypenny'.
She follows me everywhere This is what Beau did . This IS what Beau did. She does not go to bed at night until I do. This is what Beau did. She is very, very smart. So was Beau. When I go to pick her up she turns her back to me so that I could reach under her to lift her. That is what Beau did. It is spooky and erie and somewhat wonderful.
The'essannce' of Beau lives in the house.
But one thing she does that I have never seen a diog do. She climbs up onto your lap and lays down very comfortably. If you pick her up in your arms she just rests her head in the crook of your elbow and does not stuggle but just relaxes. She lies by my side all of the time with her head on my ample stomach.
Now I understand the term 'A Lap Dog'
A Lap Dog. The comfort is truly wonderful
Lilly
She eats everything-she loves the rain and the water and the snow and everyone.
She has come into our lives and stolen our very reluctant hearts.

Shows you what I know.
