Hi, just saying hello from New Zealand as a new member. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Whip · 05-15-2013, 07:45 PM

Greetings people, My name is Whip or Mark, I allow people to choose which to use as I have been know to answer to many other names also. My lovely little friends name is Trixie and she is 2 years old as of the 4 th May. I got her from the SPCA here in Auckland NZ at the age of 8 months after my previous mate was tragically taken from us one night. Trixie had a horrible start to life with a elderly lady who, due to not having any patience to teach her maltreated her until the SPCA stepped in. She was a very skinny, afraid of everything little girl when we got her but with love she is improving and building confidence in herself. But we still have a lot to work on but atleast she is now in a loving caring home for ever. I have just tried to upload some photos of our girl but my files are to big, darn I hate these sites that don't allow larger photos , but I digress. I will shrink the kids and try again later.

Welcome Mark Whip and Trixie. What a wonderful act of kindness and compassion to adopt little Trixie. It sounds like you guys are really making progress. It's sad that she had to suffer through all that abuse to find you.

Welcome, Whip. I find it much cooler to know someone named Whip, so that's my choice.

Sounds like you've done a great thing rescuing sweet Trixie. She hit the jackpot with an owner with patience and understanding.

Can't wait to see some pics. I think the system allows up to 200 kilobytes per image. I usually size at 400 x 600 pixels, and that works.

Oh, and welcome to YT!

Thanks and yes, it still amazes me that somebody can be utterly cruel to such a small little baby like our Trixie but sadly, in all society around the world, there are many who just don't care for what God gave us in our pets. Thanks again for the welcome and I must go into my library and shrink some photos as I believe I have the best looking Yorkie in the world, but then again, wouldn't we all say that about our little babies.

Welcome

It makes me happy to hear a precious baby has been placed in a loving home, away from any neglect and/or abuse. A great new start for her!

Welcome to YT

Congratulations on your new little baby. It's wonderful that you can give Trixie a life she deserves. I spent some time in Auckland, based in Remuera. It's a beautiful area of the world!

Welcome Mark and Trixie

She's a lucky little girl to have you in her life. She certainly deserves to be loved and spoiled. People can be so cruel. I'll never understand it

Hi, Mark (Whip) and Trixie! Congratulations on finding the most beautiful Yorkie ever...like all the rest of us have done

It is so tragic that not all babies get the life they should have been given by us human caregivers, but, now that she has you, that's all changed! I am looking forward to those pix...
