Hi everybody! I'm really looking forward to getting to know you and your babies. We are major.....and I mean major.....dog lovers and we have fallen in love with Yorkies. I wish I'd known about them when I was younger and I could have had them all my life. We have seven small dogs and three of them are Yorkies. All three of our Yorkies (in fact all of our dogs) came from the shelter. In addition to the Yorkies we have a ShihTzu, PekePoo, Chihuahua/ShihTzu, and a ShihTzu/Pom (probably). They are all more than wonderful.

Gidget, the first one we got in 2001 is almost 8 years old. She's black and gold (we call her our little redhead). She weighs about 8 1/2 pounds. She's been in renal failure since last October. Needless to say, our hearts are broken over this. However, she hangs in there. She was on 24 hour i.v. for six days back then. We have fluids injected under her skin twice a week and she's on a special diet. The vets are amazed that she's such a little toughie and my DH and I are thankful for every day we have her.

FiFi is a beautiful silver blonde, about 7 years old and is too precious for words. Then the other day the shelter got in another little girl. She's about 5 or 6 pounds and named Phoebe. We have to change that because every time I call her FiFi looks up! We're going to give it a few more days and see if she "tells us" her new name.

Welcome!!!! It sounds like you have some sweet little dogs!!! You really are special to give them a home!!! Hope you like it here. Theres lots of great info.

hello and welcome..... you have your hands full.... but in a great way....im Bianca and my baby is beaker...hope you enjoy the site...

You are so wonderful for doing that.
Welcome to Yorkie talk there are a lot of wonderful people on here. We would love to see pictures of all your lovely dogs.

Welcome to Yorkie Talk :) Sounds like you have quite a crew there!

My oldest, Sandy is a Yorkie mix - she's just so sweet, I think Yorkies get even better as they age, although the puppies are adorable too ;)

So glad to have you here!! :D

Hi and welcome. I think it's great that you've rescued so many dogs. You truly are their angels! :D Please post pics of your babies if you can, we love pics around here!

Thanks for the welcome everyone! As soon as I get the chance I'll definitely post some pictures. We love every one of our dogs to distraction and treat them all like our kids (probably better!) :D but there is truly nothing like a Yorkie. Don't know what it is about the little stinkers.

And yes, our hands are full. To the point it's hard for DH and I to go out of town together. In addition to the little ones we have four big dogs (same thing....all strays or rescue) and four cats. :eek: :D

:aimeeyork Welcome to YT. You are an angel in rescuing all these pets. And yes post pics of your babies, will love to see them. And you are so rite yorkies are the best. We love our Gucci so much. My hubby wants to get another but at this time is hard financially speaking. Good luck with your babies. I hope you love it here.
