I Finally Found My Baby! Hi All, So after years of looking and countless hours of research, I have found my baby, thanks to Deb (tiggerr36792) and Natalie (nlappegard). I will be driving from Socal to Norcal to pick up my baby from Deb this Saturday and I just can't wait. I am a new mommy and wanted to know if there's anything I need to remember when prepping the new home for my yorkie. I've asked around and read a lot but I want to make sure I get every right for him. Also, if there are any websites that I should know about to get supplies for my baby, I'd love to hear about them. Can anyone recommend a good vet near Pomona where I am located? I have a vet in the marketplace near my home. My sister used to volunteer there and she said it's a good place but I haven't contacted them and was wondering if there was anywhere else in the area that people have had experiences. Thanks so much everyone! I guess it's about time I got some sleep! |
Best wishes with your new baby! Can't wait to see pics |
I am so happy for you, can't wait to see pictures.:) |
Congrats:) thats wonderful:) |
Congrats! Can wait to see pictures.? |
yea!! You sound so excited- and it is a exciting time!!! I am sure all the basic's you know- but 2 things I would say are: #1- check all you electrial CORDS around the house!!!! Cell phone charger cords, PC, lamps- to see if you can get them out of reach This makes it safer for puppy- and helps save you some $$$$$$ of replacing cords!!! #2- Name tags to go on the leash!!!with you phone #, esp!! I think even if they are chipped! That's the 2 that I didn't think of when bring Banjo home!!! Enjoy you new baby!! Can't wait to see a picture!!:) |
That is awesome. I know a new baby is so excited. I can't wait to see pics. |
Big congrats. Bring Nutrical. I remember picking up Lilly. It was an hour ride and I didn't bring any Nutrical with me and she was shaking on the way home. I was so worried about her blood sugar. She was just nervous but it's always good to have Nutrical on hand just in case. Elaine |
Congrats!!! Can't wait to see pictures. Hopefully when she gets all her shots you can join us for the next meet up, it's so fun seeing all the yorkies playing together! |
Welcome and congratulations! |
I first wanted to tell you Welcome to YT! Congrats on getting your new baby, post pics when you get her! |
so excited! I will definitely post pics of him when I get him this weekend. I had a few questions about any products that YT members have used and found to be successful. 1. What kind of shampoo do you use? 2. I am planning to have my baby sleep in my room and was going to pick up a baby pen like this one: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=8342858 From what Natalie tells me, he's going to be no more than 4 lbs. Will that play area suffice? How big of an area does he need? I know that people say their yorkie bite through the mesh but for this pen, it seem like the mesh doesn't start til a little bit higher so I thought he might not be able to get to it. The other option is to get an X-Pen but the smallest seems to be 6 panels which is too big for my room. Can they be sized down to maybe 4 panels? 3. What chew toys are good for the puppy? 4. What kind of harness is adequate? If I wanted to purchase one before I picked him up, being 4 lbs, what size should I be looking for? Thanks for your help! |

ok...I answered your questions and put them in red above :D |
Thank You Awww...Thank you so much for your help Pepe Mint (that is a cute sn. lol) I am SO excited about picking up my baby this weekend. I am going to pick up some last minute things tomorrow and then head out early Saturday morning. Counting down the hours but they don't seem to go fast enough. And to answer your question, yes, this is my first yorkie but something tells me it's not going to be my last! Pam |
1. What kind of shampoo do you use? We use Cloud Star Buddy Wash, Rinse, and Splash: http://www.cloudstar.com/5DD044CB6F4...A7CA975DA092BD barkaholics.biz (Erin, I think?) also carries it. 2. I am planning to have my baby sleep in my room and was going to pick up a baby pen like this one: I think that playpen would be fine. We have this one: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=1762412 and you can use only 4 panels instead of 6. Makes a nice square. 3. What chew toys are good for the puppy? Franklin loves soft plush toys, anything that squeaks, ropes, and bully sticks. 4. What kind of harness is adequate? If I wanted to purchase one before I picked him up, being 4 lbs, what size should I be looking for? The first harness we got for Franklin was just one from Petsmart - it measures from 8"-12": http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2751279 He's 7.5lbs now and growing out of it so we've ordered a silk harness from Cindy: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho....php?t=116672& Hope this helps! |

How exciting!! I remember how excited and nervous I was about picking up 'Leo' from Deb. I could hardly sleep the night before. Then the next morning, I was counting the minutes until we could leave the house. Do you have someone going with you? My DH came with me, this way he could drive while I held the new puppy. I can't wait to hear how it all goes for you. |
I am going to be on the road in a lil over 12 hours!!! I'm bringing my best guy friend with me. He's doing me a big favor because he works til 9pm then driving up to LA from SD so he can crash at my house and then come with me in the morning. He's so excited to see Dunkin too! (my bf and I have decided to name him Dunkin, like Dunkin Donuts. LoL) I'm going to try to leave anywhere between 3-5am so I can get to Debs house bright and early! I'm so excited! BTW, Thanks Princess for the tip on Cloud Star's products. I was able to find Buddy Wash, Rinse, and Splash on sale at drugstore.com and with a promo code, I coudln't pass it up. I hope I love it as much as you do! Pam |
Hello and welcome to YT. Good luck with your new baby. Please post pics!!!! |
Pictures of my boy 4 Attachment(s) pictures picture pictures. I will take more once he goes in for his haircut! Enjoy! |
Look how happy he is. He is totally smiling! I want to give him a big kiss (the puppy, not the guy) |
Luck YOU... Hello, You must be so excited. You must puppy proof everything. They get into everything. Good thing about Yorkies, is that they are so small you can just put things up high and they can't get them. Just use common sense, and you will be fine. You can't get mad at them, they are too cute. Start training them as soon as you get him. It's never too small or too late. You have a wonderful life with you new Baby. www.rocknpooches.com |
showing off my new threads 2 Attachment(s) Bought Dunkin a new sweater at PetSmart today. I also bought him Puppy Kong, Puppy Kong Stuffin, Puppy Kong Puppy Snacks, and Wubba Kong...none of which he seems to take to :( |

Our Visit to the Vet Dunkin is 17 weeks old and weighs 2 lbs 9 ounces. We got him checked at the vet today, everything looks good except for the fact that he needs a few more shots and the doctor gave him some cough medicine for his kennel cough. Hopefully it helps! He actually slept through the night okay but still hasn't taken to the crate. We'll keep working on that... |
