Hi there joined today and I am trying to come to grips with your lovely website

.

My name is Tina, I live in Bedfordview, Johannesburg area South Africa. We don't have a Yorkie at this stage, but planning to buy a female mid March 2010.

Our "furry family" consists of 3 GSD and 4 cats. My best friend Sheilagh (Coco & Coffee's mommy) got me thinking about getting a Yorkie. We had a fabulous cross Maltese +/- 17 years old, but she was so old and we sadly had to put her to sleep towards end of 2008

.

Lisa - thank you so much for your message this morning!

Looking forward to learn from this website and to make new friends. Warm regards to all.

Hi!

Good luck in your search for your new Best Friend.

Your poor GSD's won't know what hit them.

Yorkies don't know their own size and will have your GSD's hopping and fetching for it in no time.

Gotta love their bold nature.

Hello Christina ~ WELCOME to YT!

We, too, were privileged to share 17 years of our lives with a most "fabulous cross" Maltese/Shih-tzu/Silky. And, we also had to sadly help him on his journey toward the Rainbow Bridge a couple of months ago

So, we already have two things in common. We enjoyed a long relationship with an extraordinary Maltese mix. And.....we both love Sheilagh

Christina Schmi · 10-05-2009, 10:26 PM

I am overwhelmed by all the welcomes I have received. You have given me a real ego boost

. First thing I want to try and do when I come back from the grocery shopping ordeal is to try and make an avatar

also want to find out how on earth I can change my user name, this Christina Schmi thing doesn't quite do it for me

Enjoy your day/eve. Tina
