and as far as the clickish feelings - this site is really too big to have clicks !! There are some people that post way more than others - (not me of course) but I think that's why people feel that way. Once they stay...I think they come to know everyone is the same - we are all here for the same reasons and we're all equal. but all in all - I know we all make this site what it is. I never dreamed before the internet that I would get a chance to 'meet' so many really cool people....and just think - we can be as obsessive as we want to be about our yorkies - and EVERYONE understands LOL !! Heck - it's even encouraged !! :D :D |
Oh what a big sappy post :) I LOVE it!!!! It's really nice to hear that from someone who has been here for a long time. Very nice of you Villette!!! |

What a great thread! Villette, I have to agree, that you are one of the big reasons YT is so great! You can always be counted on for a kind word, and do have a way of making everyone feel like they belong. Yorkietalk is the first and only discussion board I have ever been a member of. It is nice to have a place to obsess over Ginger, and to be a part of a community that truly cares about each other and especially about each others furbabies. I've met some great people through YT who live in my area, but who I never would have met otherwise! I've gotten excellent advice, and found others who would happily discuss the tiniest details about grooming, or feeding, or otherwise caring for these wonderful little dogs. I enjoy the pictures and funny stories, and become emotionally involved in both the tragedies and happy endings. If you had told me this was possible on a message board prior to my stumbling across YT, I would have said that you were "nuts". Well, maybe I'm the one who's "nuts" (for yt), for even on vacation, I walked a block each day, lugging my laptop, so that I could "check in" on YT.... Thanks for the thread Villette, and thanks to all of you who make this such a great place to be! |
I have to agree...I have never been a member of site like this one...I havent posted in months...And not because I did not want to...i have just been so busy with work...Now that I am in crisis mode with Sammi :( I needed you guys and there you all were! Offering prayers, support, even phone calls...You are all a great group of kind hearted, wonderful people and for that I thank you! |
I have only been here a short time and already I feel "at home". As far as being a judgemental site - OMG, go out there on the Web and take a look at some of the pet websites! They are downright viscious! I think Yorkietalk is a nice switch from the others. I feel comfortable discussing my "large" yorkie and "semi-large" maltese......other places I would be blasted! Looking forward to spending alot more time here. |
Every word of your post is so true! I couldn't believe the support when my Chloe was missing! Not only was everyone so concerned in the thread, but the phone calls, emails and pm's I received were wonderful! And even from people I didn't really know yet. I have made some wonderful friends here.:ghug: |
(((BIG HUGS)))) You are right on Vilette!!! I love being a part of this board, there is always something to laugh about, cry about and think about. It is a wonderful place to *escape* some of the real life drama. I recently lost someone I cared about and it has been really nice to come look at pictures and read funny posts when I need a break from what is going on!! Thanks YORKIETALK!! Everyone here ROCKS!!!!!! ** Vilette I have often wondered how your husband is doing** We all love you, therefore love him-- please feel free to lean on us if you need to!** |
Villette - OH MY! You are emotionally draining me - I swear I have no more tears to shed! Life caught up to me in the last couple of days and I am only just getting caught up on all that has happened to everyone. I am stunned and saddened at the loss of Madda - frightened for Gucci - and who the heck knows what range of emotions I feel after trying to get through all of the posts on Josie (except sheer relief that she is safely home!) I need to go finish painting my daughter's room right now and I haven't time to put my two cents in and most more but I will! (Time is of the utmost importance now because..... Tuesday I will be adding a new family member!) I continue to be blown away by the compassion, knowledge and laughter on this board. |

1 Attachment(s) I totally agree also. I am a member of 2 other Maltese sites, but nothing compares to this one. I'm glad Piper is a Morkie, or I never would have looked for a Yorkie site. She is so much different than her Maltese sister. She definitely leans towards the Yorkie attitude & behavior. |
great thread villette, I have only been here a little while, I stumbled across this site before i picked dixie up, when i was looking for info on care of yorkies. We had a dalmatian (he was 12 when he passed, we got him at 6 months) that had epilepsy and was on meds for years with no seizures, till he had the worst seizure out of the blue i ever saw, the vet suggested we put him to sleep, that they willonly get worse :( we had him put to sleep, that was many years ago and very hard to do. we couldnt let him live with seizures again. we were a no dog house for many years. and thought it is time to add to our family, we needed a new pet to love and spoil. I learned so much already, I ve done alot of crying this week reading threads, especially the r.i.p. section madda :( :(junebug :( phoebe :( and all the others who passed and josie being lost . weather it be learning, crying, and laughing, this site is great no matter what anyone says about it, I would just ignore those people who dont really know what goes on here, the feelings, the help, the info. I feel like i have a ton of new friends who dont even know me....yet! every spare moment i am here reading the threads. so much to read and learn. i love it here. you all make it a great place to spend my free time. thank you for being here , elaine |
Vee, this thread is perfect! I agree with you wholeheartedly. There have been times in the past that I had gotten discouraged and thought about leaving but I'm so glad that I stayed. I've gotten to know a great many people and I don't know what I'd do without YT.:thumbup: |

completely agree with you hunny:) i was shocked to see how many posted in my thread about it being a year since sasha died, people taking the time to reply about a dog they never knew and sending love to someone they have never met and sheding tears for my baby girl. and you hunny with what your going through you still manage to come on here and help someone else and be there for them, you are a special lady:) oh and even though i cant spell everyone still seems to understand what im saying lol which is another thing i love about this site:D |
