| Hi fellow Yorkie lovers After joining the forum many months ago, I decided to finally say hello! I actually didn't mean to lurk for as long as I did, though. I just stay extremely busy. I don't work outside of our home, but I'm very active with my dogs (training) and with my daughter (school & cheerleading), plus regular every day errands or appointments. Anyway, I am Michelle and I share my life with my husband, daughter, one Yorkie, one German Shepherd, and two Shetland Sheepdogs. Wizard aka Wiz, my Yorkie, is my absolute pride and joy. He is going to be 1yr old on the 18th. He has really filled a major void in my life. I lost my "heart dog" in 2009 to a stroke that did neurologic damage. He was a Miniature Schnauzer and I loved him dearly. I've always loved a terrier and I really wanted a Yorkie this time. When I met Wiz, I just knew he was the one. It took me over 2yrs to find that connection again, but I have. I don't know what I'd do without him. I guess that's my quick intro! Michelle |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Hi Michelle, I'm sorry I didn't see you post before, sometimes these posts are buried and no one catches them and December is always a busy month. I just thought I bump up your introduction so others will get a chance to know you. Welcome to Yorkietalk! You sound like you have a housefull!

| Welcome to YT! I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of you 'heart dog'. What a great way to describe that connection we sometimes feel with a special pet. I'm glad that you and Wizard found each other and have that bond together.

| Welcome! Hi Michelle! I'm so glad you found another connection! My first connection was also a Mini Schnauzer . . . Nikki . . . and she was a pistol! And sharp as a tack! She loved to learn and she lived to please me. I hope you Wiz have many happy years together. Sounds like he's well on his way to filling your heart with love. I too have been a lurker at YT and have recently been retreaded (I think I prefer retreaded to 'retired').

| Awww! Thank you all! You don't know how much this means to me! You actually made my eyes water. I do have a housefull. The Shelties are ages 5 and 6, both rescues. I worked with a Sheltie rescue for years. The GSD is only 8 months, but she is, also, a rescue that suffers with the condition Megaesophagus. Her breeder was looking at having her euthanized if someone didn't take her. She's had a really bad month and still only weighs 49lbs, so we're fighting for her. To make a long story short, we've done everything under the sun from different consistencies of her food, feeding her elevated, etc. We have a huge support group. When I lost my Schnauzer, my heart was broken. He had been with me longer than my husband and daughter. He was my absolute pride and joy. I didn't think I would ever find that connection again. I didn't...not until Wiz. Wiz, of course, rules the house. I'll be taking him to the vet tomorrow morning for his yearly exam. I did get pictures posted in the photo section of him. He's something else. He's so funny and I can't tell you how many people have met him have told me that they didn't like Yorkies, but really like him, because he has such an outgoing personality. He loves everyone he meets.

YT 2000 Club Donating Member | WElcome Michelle. What a wonderful sounding life you live. All pictures of your dogs and sharing about your doggie and other family is really appreciated. Personally I'm excited to hear that you are "into" training. We do have a forum here for Yorkies in Training Agility Obedience etc. It is not as busy as the general forum though :-) My Razzman loves dock diving and he swims and jumps in full show wraps!. Probably one of the first to do so. lol lol lol I also have 2 Black Russian Terriers a large working breed that I train with. Looking forward to pics and to getting to know you better.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Wow! I'd love to be a fly on the wall in your house to see those diverse breeds interact -- a GSD, 2 Shelties and a Yorkie! What am I saying? I could never be a fly on the wall with all that loving in the house! Welcome to the speaking world of YT. Hope we can keep you! I am always amazed at how many posts slip through the cracks with no replies. You can actually search for unanswered threads and see how many get no replies. I do that occasionally and reply to a bunch, but there's so many it's hard to keep up. Anyhow, glad you gave YT another chance. I'd love to see pics of your pack.
