First-time Post!?!?!?!?
 

sounds like such fun. Wish I could go. It is too far away for me this time.

Perhaps next year you will consider Charleston, SC?

I wish that I could really use Yorkie Talk better. This is a terribly difficult site to use. I cannot figure out how to post, chat or anything. I did manage to view my messages--not many, I"m afraid.

My beloved Yorkie, Casey, died at age 17 this past August. A few months later, I obtained another senior Yorkie (Age 10) from United Yorkie Rescue (Florida branch). His name is Daley, and he was found struggling in a pond in a Florida subdivision. He was pulled from the pond; signs were posted; but no one claimed him so the rescuers sent him, along with a generous donation for eye surgery (he was completely blind) to UYR, where I found him.

He was able to have surgery on one eye so he can see out of one eye now. He is nearly deaf, too; but he is a pistol!

He has twice "notified" me when my other dog, Cosmo (Min. Scnauzer-Westie mix) was in trouble--once Cosmo's collar became caught in rug; another time he had a loquat seed stuck in his foot and was limping. Daley yaps and yaps, running from me to Cosmo until I find and fix the problem.

Daley was at first very stand-offish, winced if I leaned over him, and not very loveable. Now he follows me if I leave the room, snuggles by me at night, adores the lady who checks on him midday. And he now no longer winces when I bend to pet him!

I had problems getting him to eat when I first got him and was afraid that I would have to report to Yorkie Rescue that I had starved him to death. After several e-mails back and forth to his UYR foster mom, problem was solved: Daley only eats if Publix (he's a Florida dog!) grated sharp cheddar is sprinkled on top of his food. (Please don't tell me that's bad for him! He's happy and so am I!)

Sorry to blather on so, but I was determined to use Yorkie Talk somehow!

Again, consider the most beautiful city in the US: LowCountry oaks and moss, beaches, plantations, best food on earth (most elegant restaurants to Soul Food and best seafood ever!), elegant and beautiful homes in downtown Charleston, carriage rides, fabulous Aquarium, museum--you name it; we have it! (I am a volunteer House Guide for Middleton Place, oldest landscaped gardens still in existence in US)!
