 pics of 10 pound yorkies or over
My Zipper is 16 pounds, 12 years old. Here is a good picture of him. He is and always has been as sweet as they come, despite having been through all kinds of adversity. I will always be grateful that he adopted me 6 years ago.
He has been through the loss of his original owner, a kidnapping, several serious illnesses, 2 major surgeries, two attacks (a raccoon and a Jack Russell) and now lives with diabetes and IBD. He had a stroke in February, but except for his dragging one leg a bit, you'd never know it. Everyone in the hospital fell in love with him, and were amazed at the way he fought to come back home with us! He is still famous there.
His "little sister" Puffer (5 lbs, 6 years old) is as beautiful and cute as she can be, but she's a true "devil-dog". As much as she teases and torments him, ZIp is almost always a gentleman, and even cries outside the bathroom door if we lock her inside for punishment.
He is my great big lover-boy. The best part of the day is when he climbs up on my stomach & chest and prods me with his paw and his nose to give him his pets and scratches. Whatever is bothering me disappears, and he "cures" my day!
Big Yorkies Rule!!
