My fiancé Tay had picked out the name Journey before we ever saw the puppy and the name really fits her. From the time we first met over a friend request on Facebook to our most recent engagement, for Tay and I, it has been all about the journey. The journey has taken us seven years to get to this point but we never lost touch and Tay never lost faith.
Journey the "Yottie" (A Yorkie/Scottie mix) is a perfect fit for us. Journey gets the sweetness of her personality from me and the Tasmanian Devil part of her personality from Tay. She is in North Carolina with me now and I will be the first to admit she has been a handful. I forgot how much energy a puppy has and Journey demands attention from everyone she meets. She likes people and loves to introduce herself with doggie kisses and all for belly rubs in return. Tay suggested that I bring Journey home with me so I wouldn't miss Tay so bad in between visits and it helps but when Tay comes to North Carolina, Journey and I will feel much better.

Along Comes Journey
My fiancé and I had talked about getting a puppy once we got married but my fiancé had an opportunity to get an 11 week old Yorkie/Scottie mix about a week ago and we took advantage of it. When we saw a picture of her, we both fell in love with her and it became a no brainer for us. My fiancé had already picked out the name "Journey" for her and the name fits her perfectly.
She picked Journey up on August 7 at about 4:30 and she immediately established herself as a Facebook star as we posted a ton of pics of her as did her two "Aunts." Everyone was wanting to lay claim to her as "their" dog but there was never any doubts as to who she belonged to. I did not get to see her until August 13 and she immediately ran to me and jumped up in my arms. We were off to a good start. Journey is like lightning in a bottle with the attention span of a gnat. She just goes around looking for things to get into. She is usually successful. Journey and I are going to get along great. She has such a sweet, loving personality but she has the ability to turn into the Tasmanian Devil at a moment's notice.
My fiancé and I decided that I should bring Journey home to the mountains of western North Carolina. There were lots of tears from both of us when I left. It was very tough to leave my fiancé behind because she belongs with me and Journey. Journey rides well and slept almost all of the way home. I brought her into the house and introduced her to the Ellie the cat. Journey did not even notice Ellie for about the first ten minutes but when she did, Journey greeted Ellie with lots of kisses. They are still trying to feel each other out as roommates. There were a few times that Ellie had to tell Journey to back off but it was all good.
