We have learned that our saliva is Yoda's saliva, any time he wants it. :p We have learned that coming home is never boring when you have a Yorkie awaiting you. And also that one little Yorkie CAN take over a king-sized bed! And if Yoda doesn't like someone, they don't get to come over to the house any more. :) |
I got a call yesterday from Maggie's breeder. She wanted to know if I would help her fix her computer. I told her I didn't have a babysitter at the time. She said bring Maggie on over and let her play with the Yorkie crew. I was one worried Mama. I was afraid that the Yorkie crew was going to beat her up. I wasn't much help with the computer, but I know every inch of her house. Got home and my daughter called and asked about Maggie. I told her that Maggie was the best child I have ever seen. She corrected me by saying Maggie was a dog. I corrected her and said Maggie is my baby. Needless to say, that was one short phone conversation. I think my daughter is worried about her inheritance now. |
Villette, you started a great thread. This is tons of fun and we all are certainly learning from our yorkie. No wonder we love them so. Unfortunatly I have never learned pig latin, I knew I should have paid more attention when my brother tried to teach me. Little did I know that it would help me some 40 odd years down the road. But I have seen an evolution in the languauge I use to try and out wit, out smart (you can tell I'm a Survivor fan) my yorkie. I have gone from " I'm leaving" to "I'm fixin to go" to I shall momentarily exit the building.. |
lol...I WISHED you learned from your brother too ! I told my hubby we were going "Outay to Breakfastay" and he just looked craZy at me ! We did go but I don't think I got that pig latin down... and I know Chanel can decipher it ! Love the saliva story....forgot about swappin spit with my girls ! :D These are ALL so great - I can't even single out any :D |
dianne :) Wow you all make me smile with your wonderful stories especially when I think that i have to spell out walk.they seem to know the word alright.Just thought i would pop in a little thing that made me smile.I have a dog calendar and every day has a differnt dog picture and saying and I thought this one would maje you smile. "old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to" how true I thought. :) dianne :) |
I got one ....or maybe two. I've learned that I can never stand up from the computer without carefully looking where I'm placing my feet :eek: and I can't sit down on the couch without first fishing a puppy out from under me. :D |
What I have learned and I dont even have a yorkie yet is: -how much money you can spend on all the cutesy stuff. -how every shopping trip no matter where it be to involves trying to find the cutesy stuff. -how the cutesy stuff can take over your house very quickly. What I have learned from having a small dog is: -you can never have too many carriers even if there are 3 of them never used in the closet with the tags on. -the back of the couch doubles as a place to put the really pretty expensive quilt that matches everything in the living room so you spent a fortune on it AND as a dog perch to watch all the neighborhood kids. -that the human body CAN and WILL curve in very odd directions as to not disturb the sleeping dog in the bed. -sliding out from under the covers and standing on the bed as to not disturb the sleeping dog in the bed when you have to go pee becomes an art. What I have learned from just having a dog in general is: -spelling things backwards and watching the other skin person in the room try to figure out what you said has become something we deal with regularly in our house. -any toy that screams, quacks, oinks, moos, barks or anything else will never be used unless you have a spliting headache, you are sleeping, or you are on the phone and the toy is being used in your lap. -wiping your dogs drool, eye boogies and whatever else on your shirt, pants or whatever is no longer gross. -the windows in your car will no longer be completely see through. There will be nose marks and occasionally some drool all over them. You learn to look around the nose marks and drool dribbles. |
I love this thread and all the comments! Great idea, Villette! I've learned to get along without antidepressants, because now Maddie takes care of that! I've learned I can live in a "Not so tidy home." My daughter laughed and made a comment one day when she was here. She said, "Your house was always so neat and tidy until you got Maddie." There's always toys strewn from one end of the house to the other! Also my car which I always kept sparkling clean...now has nose prints all over the windows! I can live with that! I've learned that I can spend money on Maddie without blinking an eye, but buying anything for myself, it darn well better be on sale or clearance! I've learned that being an owner of a yorkie, the smiles and laughter they give are neverending. I know there's lots more I could mention and I'll say ditto to all the other posts!!! I'm sure we can relate to most of them! I'll be coming back to this thread to read...such fun! |
[QUOTE=Connie] that! I've learned that I can spend money on Maddie without blinking an eye, but buying anything for myself, it darn well better be on sale or clearance! I so agree with this one. I just bought Memphis a little hawian shirt and hat after seeing the one that Yoda got. Had to have it. But then I went to Old Navy and really liked alot of stuff but refused to buy it for myself until it went on sale. LOL |

Hahahah, geez, it's hard to keep up with the YorkieTalker Yorkies, isn't it ReconsMomma! I just posted the Hawaiian shirt Yoda got in the Secret Buddy Exchange less than THREE hours ago! :D Also, we've learned the true definition of puppy dog eyes and how just darn near impossible it is to resist them (unless it's a food or something bad for them)! |

Just thought of this when I was posting about SImon and Hallie's haircuts! I spend more money on their hair (each) grooming than I do to get my hair cut/colored and highlighted! And I don't even give it a second thought!!! |
Oh, Oh, I just thought of one but I'm not sure I should share cause it shows the depth of my psychosis...oh well, what the hay! You know your life revolves around your Yorkie when he pees on the floor and it's your fault, as in: Mom, Bo peed on the floor! Oh Ty, it's not his fault, I wasn't paying enough attention to him. Is there any cure for this dementia? I know, another Yorkie!! |
I've learned from my yorkies that I am just really STUPID in love with them - There is no cure and I probably will be wearing old clothes the rest of my life - This morning my hubby offered to take me shopping after we had 'breakfast-ay" and I said "Not now ...the girls are probably wonderin where we are" WHAT'S UP WITH THAT ? I turned DOWN shopping ...???? ME ??? That's NUTS ! |
I love this thread. All of them are so true. There are so many I cant even think of any. :rolleyes: |
awww...yes you can !! I had TONS this morning and my brain pooped out tonight - but I'm getting a kick out of reading everyone elses .... |

I'm with Villette, I'm stupid in love with my babies. Hubby and I were out grocery shopping and got a call that Mr. Big was missing. The kids had left the door open and he was gone. They searched the house and he wasn't here. We race home, $1200 worth of love missing! The adult kids are out searching the neighborhood and calling, he won't answer them, wouldn't answer them. I come into the house to check for myself. Lightly scan over everything cause I've got kids yelling "We've already looked there, and there and there!" So I go out looking and calling him, "Mr. Big, come to mama! Where's mama's baby boy? Come here you little black devil!" I'm walking and hubby's walking and two adult sons are driving. He's little, how far could he have gone? He weighs about 3# anyone could have snapped him up and I'd never find him. I'm terribly out of shape and about 100# overweight, so I'm huffing and puffing up hills and down. I went down the road and up the next and start on the road behind our property and hear someone yelling "Mom, I've got him." Course I can't believe my ears, "WHAT?" "I've got Mr. Big." So I go huffing and puffing back the way I came. When I see the little sh**, I yell "Put him down, let him come to me!" I couldn't figure out why he wouldn't come so I was calling him. Once he saw me he came in a flash. He had been sleeping under my son's bunkbed! He wasn't outside at all! All I wanted to do was hold him and cry. I wanted to squeeze him soooo tight, but he's so small there's not anything to squeeze. He didn't know what all the fuss was about and he didn't know why mom was getting him all wet. I use their brushes and use mine on them. I just hide the fact that I use theirs. Sylvia |
Ladie of Yorkies - I use the girls brushes all the time AND in a pinch use hubbys - he does NOT know this.... so what's said on YT stays on yt ...cause I don't think he'd appreciate that...lol.... I know how scared you were not finding Mr. Big - your heart is in your throat and you just want to cry - Chanel did that same thing to me when she was a baby...I was in hysterics after searching for her and couldn't imagine how she even got out - the whole time she was curled up in a closet and had no clue I was ready to end it all if I couldn't find her ! luzangela428 ....THREE WHOLE Minutes ? lol....Just let your boyfriend know being #2 isn't so bad....you could have multiple yorkies and then he'd REALLY be down on the list ! |
Ok, sounds like we all are doing and learning pretty much the same from our babies. I have to confess to the brush sharing, if I can't find theirs I use mine on them. Guess it's more like which ever brush I find first gets used on whom ever needs brushing..me or them. LOL . Never would I ever had considered it with any of my previous dogs. and as far as the king sized bed goes...I just bought me a new king size bed last week because the queen size was too small for the 2 pupsters...please don't tell me the king size will be too small too? I already find myself curled and scrunched up on one little side while they sprawl out where ever they wish. |
lol....yup 3 whole minutes...he is always doing something so great I have to talk about it..lol but about the bed thing...I almost never let Maximus sleep in the bed because I worry that maybe I will kick him off or he will fall off the bed...but his bed is placed directly next to me bed so he knows I am there...last night he wanted to play and I was tired so I brought him on the bed and I must have passed out..(bf was away visiting his family)..at 3:22 I woke up FREAKING out when I didn't see maximus in his bed (I wear contacts...strong strong prescription)..so I looked at the foot of the bed (queen size) and I couldn't see anything..I started calling Maximus come mama..Maximus come mama...and I am now on the floor looking thinking he fell and is hurt..just to see him shake his head from his sleep and walk over to me ON THE BED....lol, he is so tiny I didn't see him in the dark..but he promptly went back into HIS BED...because I almost had a HEART ATTACK |
Ok...New morning - new thoughts ! I've learned from my yorkie that I no longer see an elderly person walking and talking babytalk to their dog and think - how sad ...that's all they have left - ...... I now think - THAT'S ME IN 20 YEARS - how lucky they are ! |
OH my GOSH I'm :yelrotflm in the floor from all the great stories. |
:eek: FLASHBACK!!! During the Christmas holidays, Toto and I got caught up in "airport hell" and was forced to unexpectedly stay overnight in Denver! They told me to just leave my bags checked to save me time the next morning and I was so mad & exhausted from the delays & airline screwups, I agreed. While freezing on one of the "islands" waiting for the shuttle to the hotel, it suddenly dawned on me that in those bags was all TOTO'S STUFF!!!! I ran back in the airport, grabbed a "porter" and frantically had him locate my bags ... telling him I had to have my Toto's stuff!! [He was looking at me a little strange!] Later, at the hotel, I was so glad I did that ... I keep duplicate "toiletries" for myself at home [Alabama] so I don't have to pack so much when we fly there ... I didn't even have a comb or toothbrush in the bags for myself ... but The Toto had everything we needed!! ;) A little "doggie" toothpaste never hurt anyone, right?!? :yelrotflm luvmypupster ... we found that buying the biggest bed that they make doesn't guarantee more room except for one of us, and she is covered with fur!!! :rolleyes: |
Now THAT'S a great yorkie mommy - having ALL the yorkie stuff and nothing for yourself - I would have done the same thing - aren't we just too much sometimes ? :D |
So I don't miss anything on YT, I had to make a few adjustments in my computer room. I put my secretary type chair next to the computer, so Maggie could nap. Well, one day she fell through the back when she rolled over. Guess what fits a secretary chair? A pillow sham. I took one of my kingsize quilted pillow shams, slipped it over the back section and layed the other half in the seat area. Works great, and I haven't missed a post. |
that's a wonderful tip with the sham. We yorkie people can be very creative when it comes to problem solving for our babies |
