Hi everyone

I am getting my new fur baby on Wednesday and am so excited! I am also a little scared as it has been 13 years since I trained a puppy. This is my first Yorkie. I had a King Charles Cavalier, but he passed away in August. I would appreciate any advise anyone can give me. Thanks

Welcome to YT! Congrats on your new pup!!! Enjoy it here. So much info.

Congratulations. You will learn a lot reading the postings on this site. I also just got a puppy after 13 years, my 16 y/o yorkie died in July. This little fellow sure has cheered me up. And what fun. We are so very happy we made the decision to get another pup

Congratulations. You will love having a yorkie. Sorry to hear about your Cavalier.

Congrats on your new baby. It is always great to see Canadians on this site!

Thanks guys. It is so reassuring to have people with the same outlook as yourself. I have been told I was crazy to get another dog. I feel I have so much love in my heart for dogs that it would be an injustice if I didn't get another one. I am so anxious to meet my little one on Wednesday. I have a choice on a male or female. Does anyone have an opinion on which makes the better companion. I am a firm beleiver that dogs as well as children learn what live with. I am going to meet both and see which one reacts best with me. I am so tempted to take both But.....Hubby says no.

Welcome to YT - you couldn't pick a better place to come to get good advice and make new friends!
Congratulations on your new baby....how exciting! Before I got Bridget (this past January) my fiance' said "NO DOGS" - I begged for years.....now he calls himself "Daddy" to her.....and I'm looking for my second, and hes as excited as I am....well almost!

LOL - you know how many years I said "NO DOGS" to my husband and kids! Not that I didn't love dogs, I did. But with my husband being in the Air Force and never knowing when we would have to pick up and move I didn't think it would be a good idea to get a dog. But in 1984 I "caved in" LOL - and got our first Yorkie, but I knew when we left England Bruce only had a year left in the Air Force and we would be stationed in Florida and not moving from here so it was safe to give in. Never been without dogs since

Yeah - we are all Yorkie crazy on YT

Either will make a great companion. I have a female (Lil Bit) and a male (Beamer) Lil Bit adopted my husband, and Beamer has adopted me

Welcome & Congrats on your new baby...I'm so excited for you too! Can't wait to see picture........so hurry, LOL.
Zhoie was our 1st yorkie too and they are just something else. I have always loved my dogs, but this kinda of love is unbelieveable! Before, you will find yourself doing anything that please your baby...ahahaha.
Good luck and keep us posted

kdreamson · 09-10-2010, 05:29 PM

Welcome aboard! You will love love yorkies! I've had poodles, pekenese and mutts Mabel is my first yorkie and i just never ever get tired of looking at her!(not to mention all the little fur dolls on this site!!!) And I do not blame you for getting another dog after the heartbreak of losing one...I really feel like the only thing that can fill that hole in your heart is another furball. Of course your newbie won't replace your lost baby but will surely help you heal and open up a whole new wonderful world of yorkies! soon you will be as crazy as the rest of us on YT!

Micah my love · 09-10-2010, 06:48 PM

Welcome so glad you are here....congrats on your new baby

lisaly · 09-10-2010, 07:00 PM

I'm sure you will love any baby you choose. I've had four Yorkies, and they were all everything I could have wished for. I am very sorry about the passing of your little boy. Cavaliers are wonderful dogs also. We lost our last Yorkie in June, and although we have not gotten another baby yet, I agree with you about it being an injustice not having one in your life to love. I hope your new baby brings you much love and happiness.
