Oh, and I have replied and asked questions on several different threads, but I don't remember all of them. How do I find them?

Thank you so much!

I Everyone!

I just joined after reading such great information on whelping. My Yorkie is 58 days today (Friday), and we are very excited, yet nervous. She is 9 1/2 years old, and this was not a planned pregnancy, although very much wanted. Our neighbor's Yorkie got out of the house, and she was in our front yard going potty. I had her on the tie out front and he came to visit her, the minute I came inside!

We have had an x-ray and sono, and they show two puppies, one of the breech.

I am just glad to be here, b/c I know I will need lots of help and advice. I have researched and read endlessly about whelping, but I know there is lots of good info on this site.

I don't think you can upload pictures to your signature. You only have limited space there. You can fit three lines of text/smilies.

At the top of the page (under the YT banner) click on "Donations"

Welcome to YT! You may want to post a new thread in the breeder's section. I hope everything goes well for you and your girl! Hoping for a safe and easy whelp!

Joey got some of those dried out little burrs in his hair. and I used Cowboy magic detangler to work them out. I imagine you could use a good hair conditioner to get them out. Here's a link to the grooming forum, you'll find lots of great grooming tips, or start a thread of your own: Yorkie Grooming Talk - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community

Great, I'll bet you feel like falling asleep too, you have to be so patient, or you can really hurt them. The stickers can turn into a mat, if you ignore them. We found that certain times of the year they are really bad, so we try to learn which areas to avoid on our walks. Giving them a quick check over after walks helps; the sooner you get them out, the easier they are to remove.

First take look at the index page and see which forum your question would best be answered. YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community. If you just want to introduce yourself and your dog, the General Forum is great for that. Once you found the forum that's best for your question, go to that, and you will see the words "New Thread" on the top, left side of the page. Click on that.

I am just wondering if I can delete a thread I've posted? I've gotten plenty of suggestions and basically don't really plan to check the thread anymore. Is there a way to delete it?

No, but you can keep it from going to your inbox by clicking on "Unsubscribe". If a thread has gotten nasty and it annoying you, you can PM admin to close it, and no one else will be allowed to post, but this isn't really necessary they generally die out on their own. I don't think they delete a thread except under special circumstances. Many others might read your question, and find the answers useful.
