Yorkie Property Laws
If I like it, it is mine.
If it is in my mouth, it is mine
If I can take it from you, it is mine.
If I had it a little while ago, It is mine.
If it is mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
If I'm chewing something up, all of the pieces are mine.
If it just looks like mine, it is mine.
If I saw it first, it is mine.
If you are playing with something and put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
If it is broken, it is yours
