But I just googled the population of the United States of America and I got what was posted for the year 2007 and it says.. 301,139,950 people..
Now I did not do Canada.. although we all know Canada has a much larger area of land, but much much less population.. that is North America..
Not counting the rest of the world..
So to see one of these posts a week on the largest yorkie forum I know of.. I do not think that is really that many.. looking at it in this manner..
If every single person that came here was treated the same.. one way or the other it would not be bad.. but we raise our yorkies with more consistancy then we do on this fourm I guess it what I am really trying to say here..
I had a litter last spring as many know.. by day 20 I lost three of a litter of 4, I was heartbroken and spent a fortune trying to save those babies.. I have tube fed before and did it.. I again had a litter in December and out of a litter of 4, I lost two, the first one I could not get out, she was alive and I failed.. she died on the way to the vet, two girls were born right away, and taking a vets advice I just waited but refused to go home.. I did not come here for good advice.. I could not take being put down and I stayed at the vets another 4 hours waiting until the vet finally decided to do another xray.. she found that my girl had to have a c section right away.. baby came down on horn and began going up the other horn.. baby was dead..
I was yet again devestated.. I cried and cried.. I blamed myself for not knowing enough of what to do.. It was my fault I could not get that baby out..
I did not come here.. maybe some one would have said anne get that baby out by c section right away.. others may have said different.. But my loss was just as upsetting as a show breeding having a tough time.. non the less my experiences worrying about my yorkies are no smaller then another breeders.. my girl was given subq fluids starting on day three as we almost lost her.. for almost three weeks my husband and myself worked shift work not leaving her and the babies alone for a minute..
But this does not give me the right to come on this forum and hurt some one else due to my own hurts and losing babies.. I lost 5 babies out of 8 a half a year apart..does that make me rude.. or to post that I do not want to post for I have had enough of my own stuff..
Then I ask why come on here.. why go to those threads.. Mary I am only asking.. for I never come here much asking for help.. in fact I am not sure how much I would even get.. so I just do not..
That is a pure shame.. for I am not going to stop breeding because I am afraid to ask a good breeder some questions.. what I know I have learned alone.. yes alone and am proud of what I have learned..
So I do hope you and others understand why I get so upset when people hurt others.. do I get angry sometimes.. for sure I do.. I am human.. am I afraid to ask many breeders and post much about a whelping.. you bet I am.. for if I am overwhelmed with stress of my yorkie, or babies.. I sure do not want or need to be belittled..

I understand the reluctance of some people asking questions, being afraid of being attacked. And I can't explain what one person says that may trigger my impatience and why another doesn't. I usually don't answer someone's post until I check how long they've been a member and their past posts. It usually gives me insight as to where they are coming from. Are they a lurker and all of a sudden an oops happened and they only speak up when they're in trouble. Maybe I'm a bit rigid in my way of thinking; but if they've been on awhile they've been reading and should have learned something from their reading and should be asking questions. If they are brand new and in trouble my only concern is for the yorkie.
There's a young lady on YT came on here a couple of years ago, planned to breed, read everything and studied everything she could get her hands on. She just had a litter, she was prepared, but knew she might get in trouble and would not recognize the signs and asked for # if she should get in trouble. My gosh she'd call me and already knew the answers but needed reassurance.
