| On a side note I like the different color Yorkies. Makes them unique and adorable gifts.

| Again, I apologize for the possible double post. I take my time writing my posts, (though to some it may seem as though I jot off whatever's in my head) and I try to be as clear as possible, so there are no misunderstandings. Using the edit function only works for a quick clarification, and does not allow me to add substantially to any post I may have previously made, to replies posted after that post. That means while I may be the next post when I begin typing, I may not be the next when I submit.. I am never sure if it will look as though I posted right after I posted, and as many sites have a prohibition against double posts, I try to avoid it where possible, and apologize against the chance of it happening. It also may mean I miss those that have posted after mine, necessitating the (possible) double post, acknowledging their contribution. Giget, thank you. I do not have facebook, nor do I ever use it, so I was unaware of the presence of the facebook page you're speaking of. I do appreciate you bringing it to my attention. Pinehaven and the Colorful Yorkie Club were the first sites I ever came on in my search for information on the Golden, but I am not a member of the Colorful Club, and as I always intended to show, joining it to read the forum seemed.. deceitful, in some strange way to me. Almost like.. Let me take what I want from you, I have no further use for you, good day.. It just didn't feel RIGHT. This site, among several others were ones that had information on the parti, but I could not find any information on the Golden... And I will definitely look into Dr Bells work. It's wonderful that he/she has done work specifically with Yorkies, since as we know, what holds true for one breed, may not necessarily hold true for another. I appreciate you taking the time to help further me on my studies. |

| I am not a member of the Colorful Club, and as I always intended to show, joining it to read the forum seemed.. deceitful, in some strange way to me. I was a little confused by your post. Are you trying to find info on bc you own a golden and are curious what makes her her? (in one of your previous posts, wanting to know what makes your yorkie her) I am sure Pinehaven would not mind giving you info on why your pet looks the way she does.

| Last of all, I love my dog. She is an amazing little creature that makes me and my daughters so happy just by being her. And not only that, she is helping to heal the heart of a broken boy who has never known love from his own family. How can I not want to learn more about her, what makes her HER? I have an inquisitive mind. I ask questions. I want to learn something new every day, and I go looking for that something, not waiting for it to fall on my lap by chance. When something interests me, I try to learn more about it. I feel that by learning about it, I better appreciate its intricacies, whether it be a living creature like Pixie, This is what made me think you were asking about goldens bc you owned one and wanted to know what made her her - so that you know what led me to that understanding.

I further asked for information on the genetic component of the color gold. I am sorry if you feel I attacked you or your dog. My words were that you were having a joke at MY expense because you said nothing in regards to my question, not that your dog is a joke. I hope that clarifies things for you. I am sure your dog is a great dog, just as I am sure that he was luckily rescued by someone that loves him very much. | |

| I am sorry I wasn't clear, Giget. Pixie is the puppy in my avatar, and is a traditional Yorkie. I love dogs in general, I love genetics in general, and I love the Yorkie in particular. While information on the traditional Yorkie is readily available, and it's not too difficult to find information on partis, I had not been able to find anything on goldens. I learn wholistically.. Yes, I think I made that word up, lol. I don't just want to learn about one or two aspects of a breed, I want to learn about all aspects of the breed, this includes research into non standard colors and sizes. I think of the breed as a whole, and what makes Pixie Pixie is what makes all Yorkies Yorkies. That includes non standard dogs. They may not be show quality, but that doesn't mean they are not a part of that greater whole. I love learning for the sake of learning. This is something new to learn, because I have never before now been exposed to it. I could of course say it's non standard, and I want nothing to do with it, but what would I be learning by doing so? Better to know it, therefor to understand it better, therefor to understand the breed in general better, therefor to understand my dog better in particular. Before Pixie, I didn't know there was such thing as a golden. I knew about Biewers and partis from a while back.. But my knowledge was what I had learned years back. In refreshing my knowledge of the breed, I came across several sites featuring non standard colors, and aside from the parti, they were all new to me. Something new means something new to research, to read about, to learn. I love learning, and in learning about the different parts, I learn about the greater whole. That is the way I feel, and that is why I have been looking for information on the golden. I hope that explains things a little better. |

I am afraid to. My ex is still looking for me and I am terrified that he will find me and what he will do to me if he does find me. All it takes in one little mistake. I made the mistake once before and nearly died because of it. So no facebook for me. No yearbook, no myspace. Because the next time he finds me, I know I am dead. | |

| Belle Noir, I think many people find you an enigma. It is not usual for people to write in such depth and lenght on this forum. To many of us it appears that you enjoy a debate. The extensive writing you did about breeding designer dogs put you in the minority view, and solicited many strong responses. There is no criticism or mordant intent in my statement. You are new here and it will take some time to get to know us. Some of us are always serious, some joke, some are sarcastic, some are kind and some are blunt, we are real people. It will take some time for us to get to know you too. We do sometimes, just come on here to vent and that is ok too. I am so very sorry that you have had hardships in your life. IMO no one should ever be abused, or have to live in fear. My heart goes out to you. We all love our Yorkies. I am glad you have joined us. You will find wonderful support here if your Yorkie gets sick, hurt or you have questions. I hope some of the answers you got so far will help. |

| I wonder who that may be Rest assured, I am not melodramatic or hysterical. I have a tendancy towards bluntness as well as honesty. Both in combination can be uncomfortable for some. But I am not at all crabby or grumpy, but FB tends to be a sore point for me, because so many people insist that I simply MUST join, and I know I am missing so much by not joining, but it's a chance I'm not wiling to take. (and here I am derailing my own thread, lol) However, you're right, I have been up for at least 32 hours, and I should really get some rest, insomnia be damned... To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; for in the sleep of death what dreams may come. When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, must give us pause. |
