Norman was weighed last week and...at 10 months old he's almost 7.5 lbs! He humbly requests that his application for admission to the Teapot Club be considered. He does refuse, however, to sit still for a photo of his svelt and muscular frame! |
Welcome Yano and Brew ! :welcome4: |

1) The required picture did not accompany the application. 2) "Almost 7 1/2 pounds" is a bowel movent and a vigorous walk away from falling under the minimum limit of 7 pounds -- especially for an athlete like Norman. 3) When doubt exists, we are forced to delay final approval of the application until Norman reaches 1 year of age. We truly hope to add Norman if he maintains his weight until his birthday. |
Please send a picture of the 1/2 pound bowel movement directly to alaskayorkie for approval... |

Teapot application for my little man 2 Attachment(s) Hi, im new to YT and owning a yorkie, my poor baby is kind of a misfit in my family and here is why 1. Hes a boy...I have 3 little girls...we couldn't have a little boy so I bought one. 2. He is a small dog...we have 3 large dogs in the backyard 2 in which are 90+ 3. His poor ears won't stick up for anything 4. He has a cottony soft coat...hoping it will change 5. He is 5 months and already weighs 9.4lbs I would like to think he qualifies for the teapot club but you all let me know :-) |

Yet there is a pride his eyes and his posture. He shows no shame, even at the difficult age of 5 months. He has what it takes to be a teapot. Though the Benevolent Elders of the Teapot Club and Secret Society often deny membership until a Yorkie is 1 year of age because of the whole baby-fat issue, they feel confident that this sweet pup will never waste away to mere Normal or Teacup status. The age clause was waived. Unfortunately, your application was incomplete, and we must deny your dear pup's entry into our secret society. All Yorkies in the club must have a NAME, and one was missing in your application. Feel free to reapply in 2 years to see if our bylaws have changed -- or any time sooner if this adorable pooch gets a name he can call his own. |
Im sorry i failed to put his name...it is Link until he steals my 17 month olds toy from her then he gets the full Lincoln in a stern voice and drops it..lol. I am hoping he does not drop his weight for he is the perfect size for his personality. I love his coat it is so soft just very difficult to keep detangle even with the 3-4 brushings he gets a day. |
I forgot to add that we would not change or trade him for the world we love him dearly...He is our baby boy!!! |
I keep reading the reply and cant help but say i am not discriminating or foisting anything upon him. I had to beg my hubby for a small dog which was my choice to get a YORKIE, then i had the choice of male or female in which i chose male. In my post i was just stating the differences in what makes him so special to me! |

And, LOL, stop reading my reply. It was made with the sole intention of making you laugh! Anyone with 4 dogs obviously loves them! |
Sorry, I guess im just on edge today. im a stay at home mom and kids driving me nuts today...lol... Just a question...do you think Links coat will turn silky when the puppy coat grows out or should i give in and cut it down instead of fighting the tangles? His head seems silky but his body is so soft. |

I'm no coat expert, having only seen a couple Yorkies grow up. One of mine is cottony, and the other silky. Both had nearly identical hair when they were pups, kinda rough and tangly as you describe. On both of them, I gave up and shaved them at a certain point. The silky one grew in silky and the cottony one was easier to manage. I will say that my silky one had softer hair on the head first, so maybe you are looking at a silky one. That puppy hair can be aggravating, and I'm not sure what the advantage of not cutting it is. My suspicion is it doesn't suddenly turn silky, but it grows out silky. People gave me a hard time for shaving mine, but it was instantly easier to care for -- and it grows out. It always grows out. |
Thanks for the info and i am sorry i took the reply wrong. I ask you about the coat bc i noticed that you have experience with each coat and i cant seem to find any info on it anywhere else. you were very helpful. Thanks for accepting Link into the teapot club! I will keep posted on his weight...and coat for that. |
axelsangel, We welcome Lincoln with open arms, tangles included ! :thumbup: |
1 Attachment(s) Chloe (1.5 years, 8.4lbs) and Teddy (2 years, 8.6lbs) would like to submit their application for the Teapot club! They think the club might like some international German flavor! |
Elvis has an announcement! Since diet modification and medication changes...along with regular exercise finally being routine due to a change in effective arthritis medication: Elvis weighs 12.2 pounds!!!!!!! Hoping he isn't officially booted from the teapot club for being too large now! |

Chloe and Teddy and their lovable long-tailed 8+ pounds of synchronized perfection were pull on the fast track for full membership into the club, starting immediately! We love how they look like mirror images in the photo! One crotchety old board member tried to claim that Yorkies with full tails should be put on a higher standard for Teapot membership, but since he's on suspension for overt excessive rudeness, we discounted his input! Welcome to the club, our German beauties! Quote:
But since your re-application failed to include an AGE, you are hereby fined 1 pint of eggnog, payable next Christmas! :p Unless you amend the reapplication before then! |
1 Attachment(s) Gizmo would officially request admission to the Teapot club. On Tuesday January 3th, 2012 at his 1 year check up he weighed 9 lbs 9 oz. |

Good to have you aboard, Gizmo! |

On a side note the husband got this shot as they were running after him and the bag of greenies. They will do just about anything for greenies and he was trying to bribe them into the perfect shot because I think he was a tad bit more excited than they were to take an action shot. They prefer to pose for their pics as evidenced below. 1st is Chloe and my husband and 2nd is Teddy and his cute puppy smile. |

Gizmo gladly accepts membership and is thrilled to be a "Super Teapot" :) Thanks!! |

Not re-amending! Eggnog noted for next year! |
1 Attachment(s) Oh my goodness....Trixie Belle went to the vet yesterday and ..... move over handle, move over spout .... here comes another pot - she is 8 1/2 pounds of pure yorkie goodness :D She tried to tell the vet that it's her full tail that added the extra weight, but the vet was not convinced. Trixie Belle would like to officially apply to be in the YT Teapot Club. |

Trixie just turned 2 in December 2011. |

Unfortunately, it has been reported to the Bunchnevolent Elders of the Teapot Club and Secret Society that Trixie's application benefited from insider knowledge! While the investigation ensues, Trixie will not be enshrined until she completes a waiting period. |
Waiting period's over! Welcome to the club, Trixie! |
