| I Love Yorkietalk Because..... I was YorkieTalk Member 194 - joined on July 31, 2004. Gee whiz, it's been almost 4 years and in that time I have learned so very much about Yorkies and made so many friends. If someone asked me the question posed above -- I love YorkieTalk because.... I wouldn't know where to begin. Maybe I would start with the people - I can't begin to count the number of friends I have made - both the general acquaintance type friend, and the talk on the phone every day kind of friend, and the type of friend that hops on an airplane and comes to visit 'cause you are injured and she needs to be sure that you are ok. But since this is a Yorkie forum, maybe I should begin with something Yorkie-ish. I have learned so much about Yorkies and with each new thing, I love them more and more. I have learned that no matter what my experiences are I can almost guarantee that I can post and someone can identify with me and reassure me or laugh with me or cry with me. WOW! Then there are the daily laughs - it's been a long long time since I have popped into YT and not read something that caused me to laugh a genuine out loud belly laugh. Oh my that feels soooo good. PLEASE - everyone -- start your posts with --I love YorkieTalk because.... I am respectfully asking that this thread remain one filled with love and respect and furthermore respectly request that the Admin, and Moderators remove any post in this particular thread that is not a genuine from the heart "I love Yorkietalk because"... |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh my gosh -- I could list a thousand things....but then I'd become one of the reasons you'd be annoyed by Yorkie Talk. So... I love it because of the apparent endless support I've found here - the kindness, intelligence, warmth, humor, willingness, strength. I've learned a TON. I would say that I've learned 80% of what I know about Yorkies right *here*. I also learn about myself and others here - and I always welcome those opportunities. And you know...it's not every day that I run into people that I truly admire and respect - but ya know what? I run into people I admire and respect ALL DAY LONG here at YT - and I LOVE that.

| I love Yorkie Talk because of all the wonderful friendships I've formed with fellow yorkie lovers. I also love it here because of all the incredible knowledge and helpfulness that the members contribute! ETA-- I love YT because I've found people who love their furbabies just as much as me and it's made me feel less like the crazy dog lady! LOL! |

| Cindy Lu....leave it to your sweet self to start this thread. I love yt because I have made great friends, learned stuff I didn't even know I didn't know, had prayers answered, prayed for others, learned more than I ever wanted to know about bull penises, cried for people, hugged people, got on a plane for an adventure that changed lives, was part of a yorkie train, and I could go on and on but dh is giving me "the look"

| I LOVE YT BECAUSE.....You guys really, truly understand me. Pokey is my new child. I cant have children, so Pokey will be the closest thing to a child for me. And you guys get that. That to me....she IS human...sometimes even better than human because she is all about love and doesnt talk back!! Also, you educate me THOROUGHLY!! You know that book "What to expect when you're expecting" then I think the sequel for mothers is called the first five years or something....well, YT is like that book for me. You answer any and all of my questoins to help me to be the best mommy I can be!!! Thank you all.

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | What an awesome thread. This is going to be long and drawn out and...yeah. I love YorkieTalk for so many reasons its nearly impossible to name them all. I joined on YT when I was 12 years old - I had JUST turned 12. My Mom is on here too (teri88). I remember that we joined during a family tragedy - our yorkie baby, Bandit, had passed away. He was 14 weeks old and we only had him for a month but we loved him with all our heart. Immedietly, I saw the love and compassion in the people on here. They took these people that they didn't even know and prayed for us that Bandit would recover, and prayed for us when he didn't. Even though a lot of those members are no longer here, the feeling of that kind of love and security IS still here and present in almost every thread. I've never in my life met a group of people so caring that they would LOOK for people who are in need, and reach out in any way they humanly can to help that person - even something as simple as praying has been known to change lives. It makes me feel unworthy sometimes to be among people with such big hearts and SO much knowledge. Oh the amount of knowledge on this site - if it wasn't the internet it would probably explode due to the knowledge overload! I've learned so much here it even surprises ME what I can pull out of my head when I need it. Its not like I came on here expecting to learn -- I don't even know what i really joined looking for, I didn't even know what a forum was. I know that my Mom was looking for help and she got it, so I guess I was just looking to see what was going on here that people were so smart! and so willing to SPREAD that intelligence. A lot of the original members are still here, and I love them all dearly. They play a big part in making YT what it is and making sure that we stay (mostly) in line so that YT doesn't go to the dogs (haha...stupid puns)! You all have supported me through EVERYTHING. A few of the hardest things in my life...and you guys were there to pick me up. When my real life friends (and even some family) would look at me like I was crazy or over-dramatic, I knew that you guys were there and you won't tell me I'm crazy or dramatic. Well, you might. But you'll still help. Now I'm 15 and my 3rd anniversary is coming up! I don't remember what life was like without my extended yorkietalk family. But this place is truly like a "home" to me. and when everything else in life does a flip upside down - as it tends to do to all of us - I know that I can come "home" on here and you all will STILL be here being amazing and sharing your wisdom. I belong to about 5 forums. This one feels like "home" and I can't get off the computer without jumping on here and seeing what you all are up to. I will commonly talk about you all in my real day-to-day life. Unfortunatly, my friends and their parents wouldn't understand and would think that I'm being very unsafe if I told them that you all were internet friends - so....I will usually say "my aunt ___" haha. I have lots of "aunts" "cousins" and others of that sort that I've never met face to face in my life. And even though that's kind of strange, its really not too far out there because I DO think of a lot of you as being extended family members. I love you all dearly!

| I Love YorkieTalk! I love YorkieTalk because there is so much Love, Knowledge and Dedication here... Where else can you find a group of people that are nuts about their babies.... Until now, I thought I was the only one who felt this way about their ... I could'nt relate to no one I knew, or better say know, everyone thinks I'm nuts... Here I don't feel alone... This is a wonderful place, I wish I would've known about this forum years ago... But now I can share my thoughts and experiences with you all... I'm fairly new to this forum, exactly 11 days ago I stumbled upon this site, when I was in search of an alternative treatment for one of my babies... I LOVE YORKIETALK!!! I Love Nygee, Gizmo & Gypsy!! Last edited by nygee; 04-22-2008 at 08:12 PM. |

| I love yorkietalk because of everyone's shared passion for animals, and not just yorkies. It blows me away how many times over the past 3 years, someone has come upon a dog that needs "saving", makes a post about it, and within hours, people are volunteering their time and money....I mean, we chat online, but how many of us have really met in person? It's nice to know that we've got each others backs in a time and age where you aren't sure you can trust anyone anymore. Most memorably, I am thinking of the yorkie that was advertised for sale at a yard sale, maybe about this time last year. Any updates on him? |
