| Do you tell people about "Yorkie Talk.com"? I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I see yorkies on the street, I have to stop and say hello to those little furfriends. I always tell people to check out YT, beacuse it is such a swsome website, it is like Yorkie encyclopedia. I get so excited talking about YT, sometimes people think I'm selling someting. Some members here have more knowledge about yorkie's medical issues than vet. How great is that??? Today, I met this lady who had morkie with eating problem and I told her that "Check out YT website, there are wonderful members with such insight for yorkies and they sometimes know more than vet!" The vet over heard me and said "really? you just said that, really?" oooops I spend most of time reading thread and not much posting, cause there are endless of information about our great companions, Thank you YT!!!!!

| I would if I knew other small dog owners!!! I only know one other yorkie and his daddy is my co-worker, so he's seen me on YT enough, I don't have to tell him. I get alot of flack at work for this site. Everyone I know thinks dogs are pretty much for hunting and outside. A couple people have medium size house dogs...but nope that's it. The little members of my pack are deprived. All I know is that YT has been a godsend to me, especially with no other owners to glean info from face to face.

| I do..especially if i see people with a very small new pup. Its much better here than looking through a book and not getting anywhere. I think real life stories from experienced yorkie owners is a much better way to learn. While i'm chatting,I also talk a lot about Poppy, my little puppy farm survivor, and her past life, to try and stop people buying dogs from pet stores. I will be getting a reputation and people will be crossing the road to avoid me, although i don't preach, i do it in a nice way!!...lol

| YT is like any other forum; it has a tough crowd from time to time. However, if I know the person and they are used to how forums are, I do recommend YT to them. It's worth the load of resources to filter out the opinions and what-not. (: And I recommended YT to my friend from GA in hopes for her to visit the site, donate, and advertise to people who actually have a genuine interest for the Yorkshire Terrier Breed. She's old school and has been paying an IT professional to work her website, but she takes an interest in where her babies go, so sometimes her babies are 5-6 months before they find forever homes. I love YT and the members here. (:

| I'm always telling some one about something new that I've learned on Yorkie Talk. It just slips out in my normal conversations. |

| Yes, I do!!! I met this guy and his partner at PetSmart with a baby yorkie (their first), and went on and on about yt! They wrote the website down, and was so excited about going online. Last summer, Prince, his daddy and I were at a park and met a family with two yorkies...they were already on yt. Prince's vet even knows about it! Good news travels fast!

| I am always telling my neighbor about things that have happened on YT. She has a year old yorkie and can appreciate some of the things we go thru. I picked up my husband last night from the airport and I noticed a woman sitting with her yorkie. Well, I had to stop and talk for a minute. My husband told her about the site. So, it's not only me, it's him too...and he doesn't even read the stuff. He sees me reading it all the time. |

| I share YT every chance I get. In fact, I printed an abbreviated "YT" business card on the back of my foxypups.com business card. Here is a link to the Official YorkieTalk Business Card http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...hare-them.html . |

| i tell people all the time.i was at a street fair and saw a younger girl,like maybe 17 18 walking a 11 lb Yorkie(after we talked for about 20 min i asked) she told me she hates to take her out in public because people tell her hoe out of standard her dog is and of course she dose not care she loves her i told her to come on Yorkie talk and there would be hundreds of people who would have larger yorkies and tell her how beautiful her dog was (and she was this dog was gorgeous one of the prettiest Yorkies i have ever seen)

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | DH & I tell people several times a day about YT; especially when we're out on the road "working" since we often see a lot of people traveling with their dogs. I keep looking for one of those people to say "hey! I remember you! You're the lady who gave us a bully stick/Zukes/dehydrated chicken/calves liver! (I love sharing all the good healthy treats I've learned about here, can you tell?) I'm sure some of them have thought I was trying to sell them something too

Thank you, I'm going to make some YT cards today! I forgot that since I live in NYC I come across more people with yorkies on the street than any other city I think I see at least 3~4 yorkies everyday, and they are all SO PRECIOUS!!!!!

| Yes I do, everytime I run into a Yorkie Mom. (Or Dad) My husband does too, which I think is sweet.
