Hello and help!

[iamamandaneal]

Helllooooo!

I am new here, kind of. I have been stalking this site for a couple years, but now I have two Yorkies so I feel like saying hello. I have wanted a Yorkie for awhile and I now have TWO! I was browsing Craigslist and came across a couple that wanted to rehome theirs because they felt like they were spending too much time alone. I just had to make a call. The female just turned 4 and the male is 3 1/2. On their last vet visit the female weighed 3.9 lbs and the male was 4.2. I took them to my local vet just to put them on the scale and she was 4.8lbs and he was 5.0 on the nose. They didnt have collars and tags on when I got them so maybe that is why they were up a tad. Who knows! Either way, I love them! I didn't get them as puppies which is somewhat sad, but I think it turned out for the better the more I think about it. I went and visited this couple and their pups to see how my kids and I bonded with them. It went great! I was planning on coming back a day or two later but then they said I could take them home for a few days and see how it goes. SO I DID! I didn't have to pay either. If I decided to keep them, then I would pay. And I paid!!! They are precious. The female is very mellow and cuddly, almost boring at times(haha) and the male is a little ball of FUN! My three kids love him! He would play fetch all day if someone would let him. I have had them almost two weeks and don't regret it one bit. They came with everything they had at their previous home which my husband thought was amazing so I didn't have to go on a puppy shopping spree. Bows, food, food/water bowls, crate, bed, leash/harnesses, shampoo...all that jazz. They sent Iams food but with all the research I've done on here I see that is not good. They have HORRIBLE breath so I hope once I get them on a better food that will help. Fingers crossed.

Not only did I want to say hello but I need help! Names! They were Daisy and Artemis. I didn't mind Daisy at all, thought it was actually cute, but my 17 year old niece we took in wanted to modernize her name and she is now Paislee. I am totally okay with it because it is so close to Daisy that she comes. She is very calm and sweet so the name fits her well. As with Mr. Artemis....I am not liking that AT ALL. I tried thinking of something that sounded similar but I cannot come up with something I LOVE. At first we said Armani and we bought dog tags with that name on it BUT it's just not working. I feel like that name makes me sound like a high class b***ch because it's a designer. Maybe it's just me. I now call him boy. He comes but he needs a name. Can you help?? Nothing that stars with L. My boys all have names that start with L and it's a tongue twister. Something that goes with sweet Paislee. Actually, I don't really care about that. Ha! I have come up with some, tell me what you think. I have not figured out how to post pictures in threads but there are some in my album. Warning, they are precious!

1. Nike. You know, "Just Do It" and we love sports.
2. Brinkley-the dog out of You've Got Mail! I say this because in the movie they met online and so did my husband and I.
3. Atticus-it's the only thing I can think of that kind of sounds similar to Artemis. Or not!
4. Radar-check out the ears on this pup. They are big and always sticking up.
5. I love the names Prince and Romeo but my husband says NO WAY! Bummer!
6. My husband likes BIG, long-ish names because he is so little.
7. I really, really like the name Journey. Is that lame?
8. I also like names like Courage, Mercy and all that but they sound girly. Am I wrong?
9. My husbad is a big airplane man. His Grandpa is passing down his Aeronca plane and will started getting his Pilot's license. Airplane name maybe?
10. Overall, I don't think the pup will care what his name is as long as we love him, snuggle him and play fetch with him.

If you have read all through this, I appreciate you taking the time to do so. It is very much appreciated. I plan on posting pictures often!

LOL! Girl you are hilarious! OMG you are a fire ball aren't you!!?? Love it! We need some members with as much energy as you have.

Anyways- CONGRATS on your two new additions!! YEAY! Yorkies are the best~ I’m not just saying that bc I have one, they just are! LOL

Man if that could have went any better- your story is perfect! LOVE LOVE LOVE that you gave 2 sweet babies home that needed them! AWESOME and the original owner sent you home with stuff!! That is great!

I agree with finding a better food- if you scroll through the health and diet section, there is a thread at the top I think it’s called “ free samples of 5 star food” ..?? something like that, but in that thread there is like pages and pages of quality food- I would look around and see if you are interested in any of those foods. It’s a place to start, foods on YT is an ongoing conversation- everyone has the food that they love, we often don’t agree, but to each their own. My whole thing feed what works on your baby, everything else comes after!

Paislee & Artemis sound adorable!!! I have a male and he is the best thing ever! He is my little shadow snuggle boy. It sounds like they have perfect personalities to fit your family. Can’t wait to see pics!!

As for the name, I would just get to know him- let his full personality come out, then think of a name. Give it time and soon a name will just pop out!!

Welcome to YT, can’t wait to see pics and hear more about your babies.

I love your story....Paisley and "boy" sound adorable. After reading your whole story and about airplanes....how about the name "Pilot".....Paisley & Pilot sounds adorable. Just throwing it out there since he is always "flying" around your house full of energy! I bet your hubby would love it, too!

Welcome to YT neighbor. I live in Ozark. Aren't you just hating this weather lol. Not real good at choosing names but wanted to welcome you.

They have bad breath because they need a dental

[cindersellie]

Male names- Pilot, Boeing (Bo), Areo or Arrow, McDonald-Douglas, Lockheed, Huges-after Howard Huges who liked BIG planes, Piper, Piper Cub, Bombardier, Gunner, Wingman- I could go on, but I'll stop there

Google types of planes and see what comes up

[MandiesMom]

Welcome to YT! Can't wait to hear what name you settle on for "boy"

I agree with the above about the breath - it's not the food. I would get them to a vet and have their teeth checked. They most likely have some decay and need a dental.

Nice to mee you

Hi welcome to YT I too like pilot as a name

[iamamandaneal]

Thank you guys for your warm welcome! We have decided on Pilot! That was thrown out before when we were trying to decide and we shot it down but now we love it. Time to change the tags!
