| Just a lil thought... I've been a member here for a few months now, I've donated, joined a few groups and even signed up for the GE which I can not wait to see who I get to spoil.... But lately such hateful posts have made me wonder about this forum. I understand everyone wants to educate people,and things like "teacup" yorkie and "puppymill" words upset everyone. But something I would like to remind everyone, we didn't all always have the understanding we do now,and many of us,myself included are still learning how to care for our precious babies. But would it not be better to be a lil easier on new members looking for information and wanting to understand the breed. Rather then chasing them away and making them feel they can't ask questions about anything because they will get hateful comments in return? Try to remember, we are all people here, we are not perfect,NONE of us are. Try to remember what brings us here is our love for our lil fur babies and our want to keep them safe and do right by them. Think of how much most of us would not learn if we did not have other Yorkie Owners to teach us? Papers, no papers, no matter where the puppies come from,they are all the puppies we love. Gentle not so rough... I love this place,and would like for everyone that comes here new to get the same chance I did to learn about their lil ones. Try to remember each poster is a person , not just font on a screen.

| Thank you for having the courage to post that...I too have been on the recieving end of those hatefull post and it is not a nice place to be ESPECIALLY when you are new and excited about getting to know other yorkie owners..it is very dissapointing...just becasue someone has been here a long time dosnt give them the right to make someone feel like crap becasue they are not as educated as they are about yorkies..I would love to see more people having the backs of the new members..if more of us stood up for the newbies maby the hatefull posters would back off...I believe you can educate without being rude..its called being tackfull....I mean if you get a new puppy and it has an accident on the carpet, you are not going to shove its nose in it because it "should have known better" are you? well..not all the newbies know better either.thats why they come here to learn.

| for those that have said thanks.. you are welcome. I just hate to see people come here then walk away thinking all yorkie owners are rude and harsh. I think it's easy to forget on the computer that behind the font is a living person with feelings.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Great post. I feel so bad when new people come on and are so happy and the within 10 post are so upset and wanting to leave. I have a pet store dog, a BYB dog and 2 breeder dogs and I love them all. There was a time when I thought there were teacup yorkies and that I was doing a good thing by getting a puppy out of a bad situation ie pet store, byb. If someone comes on here and feels welcome and stays they will realize the probelms with buying from petstores and that there is no such thing as a teacup, but they need to come to that conclusion on their own, not by being jumped on.

| I couldn't have said it better myself. Well done!!! A little loving kindness goes a loooonnnnggg way, and I hope we all share more of that from now on to keep up the warmth and integrity of this gem of a site. Owners of new furbabies are nervous enough (me included), so please be sensitive and kind, even when you think you are just stating the truth. Warmest Aloha,
