Getting to know each other

[jenn1381]

Hi! My name is Oliver! Aren't I cute?! Well, my mommy tells me I am, anyways. My mom doesn't get to post much on the forums, because she has a new job (she says it's very important.. something about making money to feed me... I tell her all the time that it's not important, I'll just eat toilet paper and whatever I find on the ground.. but she doesn't listen!) and I tend to keep her on her feet a lot! So, she decided we should post a "get to know me" and she hopes that others will do the same!

Full name: Oliver Awholelottatrouble Brown
Age: Approx. 1 year, but I really think my new birthday was March 28th when I finally came home for good.
Favorite toy: Well, I really liked my stuffed bunny until I broke the squeaker.. now it's kinda boring and quiet. I'd say it's a toss up between my squeaky otter and my mommy's hands (she says we're going to break me of that one day... HA... she's totally dreaming).
Favorite food: Bully Sticks!!!! And anything and everything I find on the ground, or can reach on tables. It's especially fun when mom chases me. She's usually yelling too, which makes it all the more comical for me.
Least favorite food: Bananas! I spit them out, despite the fact that it took me 10 minutes to dig it outta the garbage. Not worth it, but I forget.
Favorite activity: Chasing my big ball in the backyard!!! My mom says it's her favorite thing to do too, cuz it really tires me out and she doesn't have to do much, other than get it out of the bushes when I lose control! Other favorite activities include anything that involves other dogs, barking, eating, and sleeping (only on my own terms, of course.)
Least favorite activities: Taking my medicine (mom says it will help my upset tummy, and I do feel better, but it tastes nasty!), car rides (mom claims she'll get me used to the car one day... it's big and scary and it hasn't always taken me to such fun places.. that's hard to forget!), and time outs (seriously, I don't understand how she can keep me in time out, look at that face!!!).
Where I sleep: Mom says I have to keep sleeping in my kennel (luckily it's big and comfy) until I stop trying to eat everything I see. She really is a downer sometimes.
Tricks I can do: Sit, down, spin, and high 5. Mommy says that's pretty good for only being with her for 6 weeks. I'm hoping she'll teach me more so that I can get more treats out of her.. lol
Something I'm looking forward to: Mom says we have a trainer coming next week, and for 8 weeks after that! And she has 2 DOGS! I love dogs! Mom says I will be learning a lot, like how to be a better dog. Little does she know, all I plan on doing is PLAY. When will she ever learn who is in charge? I guess it will take time.

Well, that's all about me for now, now I wanna learn about all my YT yorkie friends! Come on, don't be shy!!


Sincerely,

Oliver (oh yeah, and mom too.. I guess I have to give her some credit.. it would have been really hard to type all this without fingers!)

Full name: Lucy ('Luci-fur' when I's norty) Carol
Age: Nearly 1 year, my birthday will be June 18th - and I want a party!!
Favorite toy: My stuffed bunny also has no squeaker ... and no paws ... and no ears ... and no eyes! (Well, it was tasty, until Mummy washed it - so now I'm trying to make it smell good again by sucking it constantly. I also love my batty - a stuffed bat I winned for being a good girl and doin tricks at puppy club on Halloween.
Favorite foods: Scrambled egg! But I only get this when I have an upsetted tumbly, which I don't really want. I also love carrots and potatoes (raw) - and Mummy says I shred the better than her grater does, so that must be good! I also love a tiny corner of hot buttered toast when Mummy has some.
Least favorite food: Wopses! Yeuk - I nearly got stinged when I tried to eat one last week (don't bother - they're horrid!) I also hate
Favorite activities: Doing 'The Times' crossword each day with my Mummy. It's cryptic, and I make it even harder by sitting on it so she can't see the clues. Chasing the cat - but he's 17 so Mummy says I can't do it a lot. Anyhow, he sometimes hisses at me, which scares me a bit - but he's okay - for a cat! And I love to play on the beach or at the park - I even discovered I could swim the other week. (Okay, it was by accident - but now we know for sure!)
Least favorite activities: Being groomed and being bathed. Honestly, Mummy says she has to do it, but I LIKE storing bits of food and grass, etc, in my fur - it's something to play with later on.
Where I sleep: I have my own basket, but I usually sleep in the cat's basket (sometimes on top of him). I'm not allowed in the bedroom anymore 'cos I bounce on Dady's head in the middle of the night and he gets cross, 'cos he has to get up very early to go to work. (I sneak in with Mummy when he's gone, though).
Tricks I can do: Sit, down, lie down, wait and fetch. And I can vanish into thin air - as soon as I spot a brush or comb!
Something I'm looking forward to: Next mealtime ... and the one after ... and the one after that ...

Hi Oliver, this is Baxter. I live in Maine, and I have a big brother named Zeke. I love to ride in the car, but mom doesn't do it enough. I would love to go ride every day!.
My least favorite thing to do is take a bath!!!!! I know I am going to get one when mommie pickes me up and takes me into the bathroom. I try to hide my head in her shoulder and make puffing noises, but she puts me in the tub anyway. But running through the house after is pretty fun
I am 18 months old now, and mom says I am a big boy now, but I still like to cuddle and get all the loving I can.
I sleep in my kennel at night, but during the day it is anywhere I want to.
Well I have to go now, we'll talk again Oliver. It was real fun
