I understand why you might want a closed forum, but I would like to make a a few comments here. Less than six weeks ago, I was a new non-donating member just learning about yorkies. Without this open forum, who knows what serious mistakes I might have made with my puppy?
You think of this forum as your family and I have started to feel the same. It's a sad day when I can't access this site and see what the rest of you are up to. I know that I am a donating member now, and this doesn't apply to me, but in a way it does. The me I used to be before YT would not be the knowledgeable puppy owner I am now if not for this site. Thousands of yorkie owners simply look at this site for information, and never post.
I have learned about puppy mills, nutrition, training, how to report abuse of animals, and I have learned that people all over the world can find common ground.
This forum also SAVES LIVES. You have no idea how many yorkies out there have benefitted from this free, open forum.
Thank you for that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I would like to share my favorite poem with you...by Emily Dickinson
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one Pain,
Or help one fainting Robin
Unto his Nest again,
I shall not live in Vain.
