| People are so funny sometimes, I had a man ask me once, "what does it do?" haha I just laughed he was serious... my S.O. stepped in and said he is a dog he does the same thing that any dog would do. I also had a lady come up and say that she thought I was carring a stuffed toy, she told me she was glad to see that it was a real dog because she thought I might be crazy

| When Clarence was a youngster he was quite active. When he'd get into a crazy zoomie mood my SILs brother would say he looked like a 'fart in a whirlwind'! As he got older & my Mum had him a little bit too heavy...he got tagged with the moniker of "Football or Pork Chop" often! He's old now...not so fast but definately slimmed down.

| Just yesterday we were in a book store with Zeus when these two young boys came up to us and one of them asked, "He's a small dog?" I just laughed and replied yes he is indeed a small dog. |

Senior Yorkie Talker | When I go to the mall, I cannottt seem to leave ZZ in the car, so I always take her in....in a carseat. *IMMEDIATLY***** Old people begin to rush over, "that is the cutest baby I have ever seen!!!" My first reaction is the same now.. "Well thank you so much."

| When Sweet Pea was about 13 weeks old another driver was insistent that I had a pair of mice in my truck. All you could see of her were the tops of her little ears over the window ledge. She was standing on her tippy toes with her little front paws against the door, running back and forth on the driver's seat. I had to take her out and show him that it was a real live dog before he would give up on the mice theory. There were a number of other drivers around and they all had a good laugh over it. Another time I had a driver ask me what kind of parrot I had sitting on my arm. He announced over the CB radio that it was the first time he had ever heard of a Yorkshire Terrier Parrot. When I tried to tell him it was a small dog, he wouldn't believe me because no dog could balance on an arm. BTW we are talking about a semi truck here. I drove long haul for 33 yrs. Baby Sweet Pea like to look out the window so she sat on my left arm or the back of my seat while we were driving. Occasionally she liked to "take the wheel". We just retired from the highway last Oct. so Baby Sweet Pea spent her first 4 years as a "fur trucker".

| When Buddy was around 1yr old we were walking down the street when a woman stopped us and asked me; Is that a REAL Yorkie? Weighing in at that time around 12lbs I guess she was stunned to see one so large. |

| I would have to say that I find it odd anytime someone refers to mine as "puppies." Just because it's a small breed of dog, does not mean they are puppies. |
