Before Yorkie talk,

I didnt know about reputable breeders,brokers and puppy mills.
I didnt know much about Yorkies, and Im still learning.
I didnt have so many great friends.
I was feeding Gucci Science Diet, now she eats Canidae.

I just Love our Yorkietalk family.

Precious' Mom · 01-17-2006, 02:47 PM

HAHA Ya before YT I think I did a little more in my days. When I first joined everyone was so friendly and they warned me about getting addicted. Well I am and I am loven it. Oh and I learned to stop giving Precious Grapes. :-D

Sherry Lynn · 01-17-2006, 03:05 PM

Before YT? I have a mostly 'didn'ts':

My dogs DID get Iams but DIDN'T get to chew on hooves!
I didn't know that deodorant could be used as a pet deterent.
I didn't know grapes were bad for dogs!
I didn't know vinegar was a good deodorizer.
I didn't know I could worry/care so much about a person/pet that I had never met.
I didn't know I could laugh so hard at my computer screen!

And I certainly didn't realize that there are so many other loons out there that are like me when it comes to their furbabies!!

THESE ARE GREAT !! From one Loon to another - I agree on worrying and laughing over people we've never met ..it's pretty amazing isn't it ?

Jaspermom · 01-17-2006, 03:32 PM

Before YT:

I had a really sick elderly yorkie and I did not know what to do.
I grieved for my yorkie girl and no one else understood.
I let my pups chew rawhide
I didn't spend much money on dogs
I spent a lot less time on the computer!
I only knew one other person in NC that owned Yorkies
I drove only coworkers and family nuts about healthy eating
I didn't know how to share videos
I bought my dogfood at the grocery store
I didn't own a clicker
I thought you scolded dogs if they peed on your floor
I had no idea who the Dog Whisperer was
I had no place to go with a random comment, complaint, or question that I just knew my husband wouldn't understand

After YT
I know tons of other Yorkie nut jobs just like me!
I spend more money on my pup than on myself.
I shave my pups hiney!
I wipe/brush my pups teeth.
Wosie is more potty trained than either of my other 2 ever were.
I have people who like and care about Wosie and I even though we have never met.
I know I will meet at least 3 YT folks in person in the next couple months!
Perfect strangers grieved with me when I lost my 2 older pups.
Perfect strangers rejoice with me over every Wosie triumph
I spent 4 hours driving around looking for a store that carries Innova today! (with no luck by the way)
With the help of my YT friends, I know I will raise my girl to be healthy, happy, and strong.
I ENJOY and CHERISH all the new friends I have made here!

THANKS, YT!!!

I agreed on the worrying and laughing over people we have never met. It is amazing indeed.

vainchick5 · 01-17-2006, 03:52 PM

Let's see, before YT (Which was also before Coco):

--I almost bought a pet store yorkie

--I called breeders asking for TEACUP YORKIE

--I thought pedigree was the best food because their commercials had yorkies
--Didn't know dogs had allergies to corn, plastic bowls, and other things
--Didn't know anything about long coats
--Didn't know to pluck ear hairs, or how to trim nails
--Didn't know about ANAL GLANDS

--Didn't know about heartworm medicine or flea meds
--Didn't know nice people that also had yorkies

--Didn't know people can fight and argue over the internet..haha

--Didn't know there were sooo many different sized and colored yorkies
--Didn't know how long I could reallly be on the internet
--Didn't know that no laundry, or cleaning would ever get done

Calleasto · 01-17-2006, 03:59 PM

Before Yorkietalk:

I didn't even know there was a yorkie smaller than 5lbs!

I fed my baby Science Diet -- Now I feed Canidea and Nutro Ultra holistic puppy food...

I had no idea about all the precautions to take when caring for a smaller sized dog.

Since we're talking about this, just wanted to say a quick thank you to ALL of you! If not for all of your helpful advice and tips, I don't know where I'd be

scrapindee · 01-17-2006, 05:55 PM

Before finding this forum, I was self-absorbed with injured worker forums-- helping injured workers move past their injuries and take ownership in their lives.

Since the Yorkie forum, I've learned to laugh again and minimize the amount of time I spend wallowing in the "I can'ts" and I am focusing on the "I can's and I will's". I am learning to enjoy all your yorkies' antics, and appreciate that my Dayzee is just as much an imp as yours is/are.

cchu · 01-17-2006, 06:15 PM

before YT, Iwas completely clueless.

I'm just so glad I have all of you to help me and vice versa!

heather_lathrop · 01-17-2006, 06:34 PM

I think I would have to agree, I thought I had some knowledge, but now I know that I really had nothing!!!

sneri13 · 01-17-2006, 07:07 PM

Before finding Yorkie Talk..

I didn't know it's OK to have too many Yorkie toys, hairbow, clothes.
I had know clue how to get a digital picture on the computer (it was actually in the box for 3 years)
I had know idea how to make an advatar.
I feed them Eukanuba
They had greenies
Didn't know carrots made a great treat.

After finding Yorkie talk

I found it's OK to obsess over your babies and everyone elses.

Most importantly I have found the most wonderful group of people that can make me laugh on some of my worst days. Be there with a kind word when you are worried about your little furbaby, or your child. Help ease the pain of another member when they are suffering or lost a beloved family member. Help each other. And just be plain silly with.

One of my best days ever happened the day I stumbled across Yorkie Talk.

Many Thanks to everyone.
