Thanks Mardelin!

I am so sorry about your puppies! It's so hard to lose even one. I'm glad your mommies are okay, and the other babies. Good luck at the shows!

I totally agree. These people mentioned throughout this post are the rock of yt. I personally read most posts and do not post a reply, but believe me I suck up everything I can from these experienced yt'ers. I think life in genreal is a learning experience, and when you love yorkies it is very rewarding to have a forum with such a wealth of knowledge. Hats off to all you ladies for sharing your experiences and trials.

Definitely hats off to Mardelin, as well as Dee of course (I got my Toby from her), and also bjh!!!

These three ladies come first to my mind as being very knowledgeable and helpful to anyone needing advice or help here on YT. Thank you all so much for being so kind.

It's been my pleasure to give assistance to those that have asked for it and even those that haven't........What is greater pleasure is to see how some have become more passionate for the yorkie than I am.

The last 2 weeks have been very stressful for me, as I've done something I never thought I'd do. I whelped 2 litters within 48 hours......What I've learned from that is I never plan to do that again. I'd never lost a pup in my breeding endevors, this time I lost 2.... mommie delivered prematurely. I lost 1 the first 24 hours and the 2nd at a week old.....Nursing, meds, hand feeding could not save them....their lungs were not developed enough to pull them through. The good thing is that 2 out of the 4 made it and they are fat and sassy

I don't know how I'd have survived had it not been for my husband....what a great whelper and my rock. While I'm off to dog shows in Texas, he's staying at home taking care of the yorkie crew, mommies, babies and the rest.

Once again thank you all so much.

Mary
Wanted to say I'm sorry to hear about the loss of the babies.
I know how heartbreaking it can be.
And it's nice to have a great hubby to be there for you.
If I could only get mine to help whelp sometime.
He just sticks his head around the corner and says.. "Is it here yet"..
Anyways I hope you have a great time at the shows.

I saw Mary last night and she's great! Right in her element, setting up for the show, grooming dogs......in bumble bee mode! She's amazing!!! I told her about all the nice comments and that I had my laptop so I'll try to sneak her over to my room here at the hotel after the show.
Yes, her husband is WONDERFUL too! He does everything Mary does except the grooming and he does that when she's away...Couldn't ask for a better hubby..(he even does all the cooking!!!)

I have only been here a couple of months but a few of you stand out on YT. You, Mary, are Definitely one of them! It was a pleasure to meet you today in Dallas!! I hope you get some much needed rest. I know you have to be exhausted. Just know that many of us look up to you for your guidance.

You give tons of great and helful information. You know everything about yorkies, and you are very passionate. Thanks for all the information that you share with us.

I'm so sorry to hear about your litter. Looks that you have a hard work with the babies. I hope that the mom is ok.

thanks again
