Well, at least they're consistent! They hold a united front! Do y'all remember the episode in the Cosby sitcom, when he's talking to two of this children - standing about 5 feet away - and he says "come here" (children: stand and stare like he's speaking some foreign language) He repeats the request several times, "Come HERE, right Here (pointing to an area right in front of him), not THERE (points to where the children stand)...HERE. HEEEERE". (children don't budge, and hold the expression: "huh?") lol That's what it reminds me of when Abigail won't come.

Wondering: how does one eat one's own face hair?

I just wanted to be able to carry him in bags and such but walking him is fun. Let me tell you though, he is SO fun! He has the BEST personality, he's so sweet, lovable, FUNNY, affectionate, he is just such a character so I love him.

I didn't expect Abigail to be as tiny as 3lbs; but, I, too, was hoping to be able to carry her in bags and such. And, 6lbs is THE perfect size, girl! <g> Abigail has just the bestest personality, also. I can't imagine our lives without her. She brings so many laughs during a day!

Well, Abigail's back isn't "the straightest" either. One of the things that would keep her from showing I just hope it's not a problem as she ages.

Tink is gorgeous! And, I know it's considered a 'fault', but I actually prefer the tri-colored look . Abigail's back looks a tad long, too, for the rest of her - even though she's 10inches @ 6lbs. Does anyone know what a 6lb-er should be length-wise?

And, a "practically perfect" summation for this wonderful breed!

I think (?) it must be somewhere in the Yorkie Union handbook that they must remain aloof when called by the humans

Wow, Mike - I didn't know Jack was such a senior pup. He does very well keeping up with the Edster, then!

Abigail has turned into more of a "yappy" Yorkie than I'd hoped; but I'm thinking it's probably learned from our Mozart (12y/o Maltese/Shih-tzu/Silky). He lays on the bed watching the world go by, and feels it's his duty to 'alert' every time anything moves on the street!
