My little Trea does the snorting when she is very happy too. I made an appointment to get her checked, because being a "new" yorkie owner it truly makes me scared when she does this. I had to log on Yorkie Talk this morning to see if anyone else has experienced the same thing, and low and behold yes there are others out their.

I feel better by reading other peoples experiences on this, so now I know why Trea is making these noises. I will still take her to the Vet tho.
