Hello! I've been lurking at YT since I got my Yorkie pup, Crumb, about a month ago. He turns 6 months on the 9th, weighs about 3.5 lbs, and is a delightful addition to our home. He joins his sister, a poodle/terrier mix I rescued some 10 years ago. Cosmo is 11 years old and Crumb has been a good dose of medicine for her. They seem to just love each other and that's a surprise because Cosmo was never so keen on other dogs.

The more I read here, the more concerned I get about potential health problems. I plan to get him neutered soon - he just started marking and his testes are descended - but also want to get him tested for liver shunt. He doesn't have any symptoms, but reading the threads here are a bit scary.

Anyway, thanks for this awesome forum. I'll try to post a pic in the pic forum. I hope to learn more and be the best Yorkie Dad I can be. - Kevin
