Today is Eddie's 4th birthday, and I'm celebrating.

I never gave birthdays much thought. As a kid, they meant we got presents and ate cake and ice cream until we got sick. No one cared why.

Not having my own kids probably delayed my appreciation of birthdays. I'm happy that friends and family members were born, yes, but...

Eddie may be in a local commercial

Posted 04-27-2008 at 04:54 PM by alaskayorkie

Alaska's first dog boutique, Paw Prince, is taping a commercial this weekend and invited everyone with a dog to drop by and see if they were talented enough to be in the commercial.

I took that as a challenge. I got off work last night at 1 a.m., came home and dropped them both into the tub for a shampoo and conditioning. By the time drying, blow drying and brushing was done, I didn't get to bed until 4.

The turnout at the shop was pretty good. There was a line halfway...

Best friends

Jack and Rusty have become such good buddies. I'm always catching them standing together, sitting together and like these pictures, snuggled together.

Eddie has become sort of aloof around them, and they could care less. They've got each other, and that's all that matters.

Real men love Yorkies -- and YT

What brings a guy to YT?

Believe me, it's a question I've asked myself often over the years. There's nothing masculine about it. We don't often talk about sports or brag about what's under the hood of our pickup trucks. We're not raising pit bulls or dobies or good ol' huntin' dogs.

We talk about cute little Yorkies and do a lot of oohing and ahhing over them. We talk about dressing them up and brushing their hair. Definitely not the stuff the boys talk about at the...

Interacting with big dogs (vid at end)

The first time I took Eddie to obedience class, I was terrified of all the big dogs. I'd heard a horror story from a YTer who said her Yorkie was charged at the very same school we were going to. The dog charged, and she scooped up her Yorkie. She said the instructor criticized her for "babying" the Yorkie. She walked out. I don't blame her.

But that thought has always stuck with me. Why would an obedience instructor encourage her to leave her Yorkie in harm's way? I wouldn't...
