WOW! what a great community & website Hello everyone.My name is Sherry; I live in Florida & I'm new to YorkieTalk ...as a member anyhow; been "lurking" for awhile :) Although I don't have a darling yet I am hoping to get one this weekend. YEAAAAA I'm looking forward to this in the biggest way since I'm mom to 2 grown kids & the mom instinct in me is still hanging on; no grands so I'll have LOTS of time to share with my new baby. Again, I want to thank everyone who's posted all this wonderful info about this awesome breed. Take care |
Welcome!!!! I hope you find your perfect little baby! I am sure you will be soo very happy. I have been a member for almost a year and this is the best site ever! Anything you need we can try to help. Good Luck;) |
Welcome to YT. Glad you found us. Congratulations and good luck with your new furbaby. |
Welcome!:wavey::yorkietal:cheer::coolsmile: |
Welcome to Yorkietalk, and it sounds like you will be a great Yorkie mom. So many people buy them because they look so cute in a purse, but in reality they take almost as much time as a newborn baby! That can be really rewarding to some, and frustrating to others. Congrats on your new little bundle. A tip that helped me was that I bought a bundle of 4 relieving blankets at Target, and had the breeder touch each one, and rub it on mama, and Joey slept with one blanket each night. If he peed on it, I could wash it, and put it back in the plastic bag with the other blankets where I hoped it would pick up momma's scent again. I don't know if it helped Joey, but it helped me! :D We had a small zippered crate that I kept next to my bed, and I could hear him easily at night and placed him on a pee pad, then back in his crate. The zipper allowed me to stick my hand in the crate, and that was enough to settle him down and get him back to sleep. |
How exciting! Welcome! We got our baby 8 years ago, and it has been the best thing we have ever done. Our kids are grown too, and our baby goes everywhere with us. She is the best companion, and my hubby is totally taken with her. I hope you enjoy your new family member, but you will hear from your real kids that they think you treat your furbaby better than you did them:D We didn't spoil our kids.:D |
Hi Sherry! Welcome to YT! Its a very nice place to be as we all share the same love:2hearts2: our Yorkies! You will love it here :) Quote:

Gosh...thanks again everyone for the warm welcome. Nancy1999- wonderful tip; it makes sense, I'll try it. & I ADORE your babies' Halloween costume! Tooooo cute |
Update- we picked up our darling Friday afternoon...none of us is happier than me! Tuffy is what we determined his name would be when we first saw him a month ago & it seems very true to his character. |

Hi Sherry, well congratulations on your new son & family member. Can't wait to see him. My moms nic name was Tuffy. :p I too was an empty nester, but now I've got my second set of kids. :D |
I posted a couple pics & changed my avatar; I'll have to take more time later & read up on more of the sites' how-tos...I forgot how much TIME being a new mom takes! |

Perhaps some of you have noticed that I don’t post often. There’s a really good reason for it too. I retired from being an electronics tech about 3 years ago & joined my husband as a team driver. My husband, Sir Tuffy & me travel around the country in a big yellow semi truck delivering goods. Tuffy has proven to be an awesome little trucker dawgie. He’s been out on the road now a total of a month now & has only had 2 minor “accidents” which both happened the first week we were out. We stay out about 2-3 weeks but usually take a day off every week so that we can all relax in a hotel room. My lil guy is VERY attached to me & whenever we stop, if I get out to go in somewhere without him he looks out the lower passenger window & whines for me to return. He turned 6 months yesterday & had his 1st romp in the snow with Dad…he pawed at the snow & then stuck his whole head into a small snowbank; Dad said he came out looking like a little dawgie snowman! LOL So, I’m wondering if there are any other trucker pups here at YT. I’m also curious if anyone has any ideas on how to get the little rascals to keep their snowshoes on? |

Oh wow, your life sounds like it would be a great topic for a movie! Yorkies would be perfect for road travels, I haven't heard of any other members who are truckers, I think a few husbands are, but I don't know any other yorkie who rides a big rig. Give Sir Tuffy a big 10-4 from me! :D Lol, I have no idea what 10-4 means, but I think I remember it from the Burt Reynolds movies. :D |
Welcome to Yorkie Talk....Sir Tuffy is adorable. Enjoy! |
Welcome...Sir Tuffy is a cutie-pie! |
Hello and Welcome to Yorkie Talk!!!! I live in Florida, southwest of you! Nice to have another Fellow Floridian on the forum.:) |
LOL Nancy... I dunno about the movie but we sure have a lot of adventures. All of you are so wonderful to make people feel welcome here. I'm very glad to have found YT. I think the next Yorkie we get will be one from "champion stock" but to tell the truth, this lil guy would be hard to top no matter his lineage. Can you tell he's loved? Sure wish he'd keep his snoeshoes on though. :confused: I'll post some more pics to his album tomarrow as we'll be staying near Dallas Tx for a couple days off. TC everyone! |
Well, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Ours was unfortunately, out here on the road. We're in McAllen Tx & had our turkey dinner at Cracker Barrell (it worked). Well, as usual, we looked around & they had these little battery operated hamsters that come with thier own plastic ball just like a real hamster would have. We bought one of them as well as the weazel like critter attached to a ball that moves on it's own. Tuffy isn't normally a barker but he sure let that little hamster have it! The weazel didn't fare as well; he wants to eat it's fur out! :eek: I'm trying to see if I can post videos here; if not, take a look at my profile page. Thanks once again to Nancys' advice & a bit of searching I was able to get that much done. I gave up trying to post it as an attachment :mad: " here I come againSearch" |
Tuffy is sooo cute!! Thanks for sharing and a great big welcome to you! |
Tuffy is very cute, sounds like he lives a charmed life. I would love to go on a year long road trip with my dog (cat would have to stay with his Aunt, he hates the car rides). Keep updating us, I enjoyed reading your posts. |
Welcome to YT Sherry and Tuffy:welcome4:!! You are just going to :love: it here!!! Gizmo says hi to Tuffy:wavey:, he's a little cutie pie! |
Thanks again everyone for all the nice comments & welcomes; it's appreciated. Feel free to add me; heck you never know, we may make it to your area sometime & be able to have a playdate. Tuffy lost a tooth today! We didn't get him as a tiny pup so this was a 1st for me. He had double "fangs" on the bottom & today I noticed him licking at his chin sort of ( I have long hair & thought he may've gotten one caught :eek:) So I'm digging under his tongue & notice just a little tiny bit of blood where the tooth was hanging. Apparently sometime after I quit messing with him he dropped it. OK, now for the odd(ish?) part of my post. Did anyone else save their babies teeth or am I just a total fruitcake? |
Welcome to YT!!! |
I saved Missy's teeth that I found! I do remember a gentleman who had a yorkie and was a trucker here at YT, but for the life of me I can't remember his name. I just remember thinking it was toooooo COOL :thumbup: I love Tuffy's name. Welcome to YT! |
Whew! TY LILMissy for making me feel not so much like a wackadoo! Hubby thinks I'm crazy. |
No worries there - I also kept the only one of Cissy's teeth I found. It's in my Jewelry box of all places., right there with the kids "fallouts"! Hey - we totally understand :p We're all a little nuts about our babies! Tell your husband you're NORMAL! :D |
I had to take Murphy in when he was a year old to have 10 retained baby teeth pulled. I asked the vet to save them for me. He just laughed and sure - they saved the teeth for all their mommies. :D |
I'm thinking one of those tiny little bottle necklaces like what you see with all the tiny gems inside.:D Sherry (currently in MI headed to Houston; for details see my profile:p) |
