introducing myself and my Yorkie, Riley
 

Hi, my name is Cindy. I have a 10yr old Westie named Scout. I have always liked Yorkies, but the my husband didn't want to spend the cost for a small yorkie. My Westie is getting older, and has had a lot of health issues, so I don't expect her to live a long,long time. My husband wanted a dog that wouldn't have a lot of health concerns and I found out that Yorkies are a very healthy breed. Then I found a lady who had gotten one of her Yorkie back due to the owners neglect. Riley, a female who is 8months old, and she is a 10lb Yorkie, came into our lives. She is very sweet and my dog has accepted her very well. I volunteer for a second chance rescue, so I was glad to give a needy dog a good home. My stepdaughter gave me a rare compliment the other day by saying if she came back in another life, she would want to be a dog in our house.
My husband really likes Riley. He is a big guy and likes that she is not a little bitty dog. I still wish I could also have a 4-7 lb Yorkie. They are so cute and I just love the way they look. Maybe someday.
We have 4 children, 3 from his previous marriage ages 30,32,34, and we have a 18 yr old together. Our 18yr old daughter loves animals too, but not as much as I do. We also have 5 horses and a miniature donkey.
My animals help fill the need for me wanting a large family.
I guess that's all, I enjoy reading about all of your pets, and advice.

Sincerely, Cindy

Well you sound like a very busy person with a very happy family.

Congratulations on your new baby and welcome to yt.

Hi Cindy and Riley!
Welcome to YT:) How could someone neglect a Yorkie? It's beyond me. Or any dog for that matter. Good for you for rescueing your baby!!

Hi Cindy and :welcome4:

welcome to YT...glad you found us! can't wait to see pictures!

I have a 10lb Yorkie and I absoutely LOVE him.
I say the more he ways the more I love him.
Even though the tinier Yorkies are adorable, mine is just as cute and I would never ever trade him for a smaller Yorkie.
You will feel the same in time. I wanted a smalled one at first, but then once I got Buddy I felt totally different. I wouldn't trade him ever!
Good luck with Riley!!!

Hello and welcome to YT, I have Harvey who is 2 years old and weighs 3.5lb, he is a little character, which they all are in there own individual way. My other Yorkie Benjie who i sadly lost few years ago was about 8-10lb. I loved him just as much as i love Harvey.

YT is very friendly and helpful - you will love it here.............:)

My Daizy is 5 1/2 lbs and my daughter has a love bug Suki that weighs in around 8 +lbs!! And she is the sweetest little lap baby ever!!!! We just adore her.... And she has such a wonderful temperment. We don't think size matters when it comes to Yorkies!! They are all precious and special in their own way!!! Congratulations!!
