She is adorable. Welcome .....

Welcome to YT. Zoey thinks she's a yorkie:D. The folks at YT will always be glad to answer questions. Sugarmamma (Lisa) is correct when she said "where we talk about much more than only Yorkies but our dogs are treated better than most children ;) "

My Doodlebug is a Morkie and I just love him to pieces. Welcome to YT :)

Oh so true. We got Gizmo on 12/2/11 and so far we have brought him the following:
Bed - although we had two used ones from our other dog. Oh and it has his name on it too.
Coat - with his name on it. - we live in Florida rarely even need a sweater
Sweater - again live in Florida and had two used sweaters from previous dog. One was even hand made by ME.
Jammies- he is not too fond of these but he looks so cute.
Toys- Ball, soft bone, Lizard, along with used toys Teddy bear and another soft bone.
Treats - two jars of natural dog treats
New collar and lease
New personalized ID tag
Fur code ID
New harness on order - right now we are using old one. Still good and fits fine
Bows for top knot which has not and may not grow out.

Great Post!

Welcome to Yorkietalk!

I knew that the day I met you and Jo Ellen! You throw one heck of a party. Bob ;)

I made life long friends in you and your guests that day....so thank you :love:

Welcome to YT!! Hope you will like it here!

Welcome to YT! I think you'll really like it here! Everyone is so nice! They have been fabulous to me ever since I joined! :)

Thank you again everyone, and I look forward to getting to know you and your little...furbutts? lol, I haven't heard that one before.

I respect the anger over breeders purposely breeding mixed pets when there are many of these in the shelters. I don't share that opinion/anger but I respect it. Honestly (my opinion) it's the breeder(s) themselves that I have an issue with, and those who support their bad breeding habits by purchasing their puppies without a thorough check including a home visit. I don't believe breeding mixed breeds is bad breeding. I believe keeping puppies in horrible conditions, backyard breeders, malnourished pets and puppies, fleabitten pets and puppies, etc...are bad breeders. There are reputable breeders out there who mix breeds. Their facilities are clean, their pets are happy and healthy, etc. I don't believe this is bad breeding.

In any case, I'm happy to be here and so is little Bella. :) She's fast asleep right now, but will probably be awake for more action in a couple of hours. I have her on a schedule (my schedule) =/

6am wake up
10am naptime (she falls asleep on her own by this time anyway)
1 pm wake up
5pm naptime
9pm wake up
Midnight time for bed!

I'm sure her schedule will change as she gets older and doesn't sleep so much, but for now it works well for both of us.

I do have a question that may sound a bit selfish. My husband works from 6am until 3:30pm-4pm. He arrives home and she goes absolutely bananas. She wants him to pick her up, hold her, kiss her, play with her, etc. She dances around his feet like she's just seen the best thing since Orijen. :confused: Every evening she's right at his feet chewing her toys, and when I attempt to play with her she just looks at me funny and tilts her head. He doesn't feed her, doesn't bathe her, doesn't take care of her, etc. She's basically my puppy (we got her for me) lol. I'm wondering, since I'm the one home with her all day playing with her, loving on her, teaching her things, giving her treats, and pretty much spoiling her rotten; how come when he's home (which is only in the evenings) does she want him so much? It hurts my feelings a little bit. I mean, I DO want her to like my husband (of course), but is she a daddy's girl or something? I don't see how that is possible when he's rarely home. It just doesn't make any sense. He does nothing for her; I do everything (by choice)...yet when he's home, Mommy doesn't exist. Why is this happening? :( Is it normal for me to feel a little 'put out' by this? I'm not angry with her and I don't resent her (she's just a puppy, and an adorable one at that). Being angry with her would mean I'd need some serious counseling, lol. I'm simply a tad upset that I do so much for her, yet she wants nothing to do with me when my husband's home.

(I should point out that all day long she's very affectionate, playful with me, sitting at my feet, napping on my chest, etc)
