YT 2000 Club Donating Member | Fun thread: If I knew then... Okay, let's share a bit on what we have learned with living with our Yorkies, funny , educational, whatever. So if you knew then, what you know now; what would you have done differently? I'll start off: Gosh if I knew just how much a teething Yorkie would chew, I definitely would have held off on the new baseboards installed the year before we got Razz. I also would have limited his space more, and bought some shares in Bitter Green Apple

| I would have waited another year to have new carpet installed when I got Muffin. She chewed a corner of it and started pulling the threads... That carpet is history now though. Just a lesson.

| I'm still trying to figure out how my first (actually 2nd) Yorkie lived to be 16 years old! Just some stuff: She was runover by the UPS man, we lived on a houseboat for 6 years and she slipped and fell into the very cold water I don't know how many times in winter, she wasn't spayed till she was 4 years old.... I think I did everything wrong!

| If I knew how much I would love my yorkies...haha I would have gotten their brothers and sisters! Well, I would have too many yorkies, but more the merrier! I do always wonder though, what if I got their brother and sister... ALSO, if I knew then what I know now....I would DEFINITELY be more careful in who I bought my babies from! Emma's breeder was fine, but Carmel's breeder was only after money Despite it all, we LOVE Carmel and Emma to DEATH. They are our babies <3

| I wouldn't have worried so much. So many "issues" were resolved with patience and time. |

| I would not have waited so long to rip up our wall-to-wall carpets and have our wood floors refinished.

| I wouldn't have said he was potty trained... lol (a year old and we're having huge troubles all of a sudden). lol I would have moved into a different apartment first and probably taken the big trip to Europe that the BF wanted. He's not as thrilled as I am about taking Harley with us, but oh well, Harley is part of our family and the bf must deal... If I had the money I would have gotten two. Also Jazz (harley's mom) only had this litter, I kick my butt for not having another one from her.
