I have never had a dog before, my family were always cat people. My husband and I have been on and off searching for a perfect little furry puppy to add to the family for a while. We live in a 1200sq.ft. apartment, and have no plans to get a house until October, so getting a big dog just isn't realistic right now. We put off our search, though occasionally scrolling through craigslist to see if any new pet caught my eye.
Anyway, last Monday evening my mother in law texted me, saying she had a surprise for me at her house, and to come take a look. All the way there my husband and I guessed back and fourth what it might be. I immediately guessed a dog, and have never been more right! My husband was the first in the house, and I heard him laughing and then running to me was this perfect little black and brown purebred Yorkie.

My father in law found her on the street behind his house. He called to her when driving by, and she jumped right in his car. He took her to the vet to see if she was chipped, and to make sure she was healthy. She was not chipped and she was perfectly healthy, and judging by her teeth, she was about 4-6 months old. He also left his name and number just in case the owners come looking for the pup, not that he thought they would.
They already have three dogs, so they wanted to see if we wanted her. Oh my lord, it was like love at first sight! She was so cute, and so loving I just wanted her to be all mine. That night I named her Mila. Tuesday my husband and I both worked all day so we decided to keep her at his parents for one more night and pick her up Tuesday night because we were off Wednesday and I was off Thursday, so that would give me a couple days home with her. Tuesday night we picked her up, took her to Petco and got her some toys, a harness, leash, food, and puppy pads. I was so excited! When we got home we took her on a long walk so she could check out her new home, and she slept right in between us all night!
Wednesday I had my procedure for the egg retrieval so when I came home I was pretty out of it still, and very tired. Mila hopped on the couch and just sat there and licked me and slept with me all day. It was seriously one of the best feelings. She was so cuddly, and loving it made me feel 100xs better! She was young, but she waited until we took her outside to use the bathroom, she loved her toys we got her, and she was so playful. There couldn't have been a better dog for Austin and I at this point.
Wednesday night she slept next to us again.
Thursday I was out in the morning at an interview, then I went to ross and got Mila a cute dog bed, and picked her up another toy. Anyone could tell I was just in love with my new pup. When I got home she just hung out with me all day. We went on a walk, took a nap, watched Grey's Anatomy while playing with her toys together. I know, I sound crazy, but I was attached to my little Mila! Extremely attached.
Thursday night we went to Austin's Parents for dinner and took her with. She loves the other dogs! Halfway into dinner my father in law's phone rang, it was the vet. Someone was looking for my Mila. I don't know if it was still all the emotions I had in me from my injections, or what...but I started Bawling. Crying so hard knowing I would have to give back my little Mila, who turned out to be someone else's Twinkle. I know... stupid name for her. Ugh. My mother in law and I returned her back to her owners, and it was seriously so freaking heartbreaking. I didn't know I could get so attached to a dog in just two days. It sucks so bad. I cried that entire night! I even called my dad sobbing to him.
Everyone just keeps saying "just go get a new dog". Okay, its not that effing easy..
But by Sunday, I was missing my little puppy so bad that I wanted to go look at the Shelter to see if there were in dogs we were interested in. Nothing. It just sucks...
So that was my little sad bit of news.
