Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome. I am so happy to be able to read about others with little dogs similar to mine, and see all the darling pictures. I think I finally figured out how to attach a photo, so I'm including one of our sweet little silky. This was taken during a family vacation in October. She is 10 months old in the picture, and weighs 9 pounds. Her name is Cho Cho. We didn't even consider a Yorkie when we got her, because although they are adorable, I was under the impression they were all tiny little petite dogs. I wanted something a little bigger for my kids age 9 to 13, for the safety of the dog. It has recently come to my attention (the thread about bigger Yorkies) that many Yorkies are this same size, if not bigger!
