As a relative Newbie I have been lurking in the shadows also. I have posted a few questions and have received great feedback. I also have read some posts where the feedback was humilitating.
I joined this forum because I love my Yorkie and I thought everyone else on this forum felt the same way about their Yorkie(s). I am not a breeder or groomer, only someone that loves their Yorkie puppy to death and would do anything to provide her with the life she deserves.
I have found from experience when you post something in writing you can sometimes lose the translation to what was meant to be said. When you can't see the person's facial expressions or body language or hear the tone which something is said, a friendly message could be translated into something other than what it was meant to be.
Thank you for providing a great place for getting support and answers to questions. I have found the majority of people on this forum have a great deal of knowledge to share. I wish they would share it wisely and be honored that Newbies like myself look up to them as a sounding board.
