Awww, what a fun thread to read through! :thumbup: The nice thing is to see all the "lurkers" posting!! Lurking is fine, but I hope it's not because anyone is afraid to jump in the pool. The water's fine!!

Welcome to all the new members, thanks to all the "seasoned" members. Maybe I'm a middle-ager?? ;)

Welcome everyone and I am so happy that you guys got your feet wet.

Hi! My name is Linda and I reside in Southern California. I am still new to this forum, though I have posted a few threads. My babies name are Penny, Simba, and Bella. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Welcome!!! Do you have more pictures of your furbabies??

Iv'e been a member for a few weeks and have learned so much from all of you wonderful people. I have 2 yorkies Molly and Daisy and 1 chihuahua Chloe. Molly just had her first litter of puppies on October 12th! We are so proud of her. 6 boys and 1 girl. Daisy is my little shadow, all 3 pounds of her. And Chloe is the best little chihuahua that I could ever ask for. I'm a mom of 4 and grandma of 5 and we all live in Nevada.

Wow! 7 in one litter??? Lucky you! Are you planning on selling the pups through here? I would love to see pictures of them. =)

You can see pictures of my babies on this thread http://yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99940

Hello........Old and New Members,

I still feel new to this site. I join YT in April 2007 and did not post until Sept. 2007. I only have 38 post to date. I have not learn how to post pictures yet.
I have had my friend MyFairLacy post them for me.
I got my baby Layla from my sister-in-law YT crb in Dec. 2006, she was my Christmas present to myself and has been the best gift ever. She is my love!!! I am a mother of 3 girls.......Crystal 24, Amanda 21, Sami Jo 19.
Amanda is off in Austin at school, Sami just started school to become a RN. My oldest Crystal was born with a very rare syndrome 10q Trisomy and is still at home with me, the doctors told us she would not live this long., she is physical & mentally handicapped......She is my Angel from God!! We have been in & out of the hospital since August this year fighting a bone infection from hardware that was put in her foot from a surgery back 2004 and then a blood infection, we almost lost her Sept 18........the scares day of my life. With lost of prays we are on the road to recovery now!!
We are still back in forth to Austin weekly to doctors. YT has been a blessing I have sat in the hospital room for many days reading YT on my laptop, she was at the new Childrens hospital in Austin. She gets to go to the childrens hospital because of her size, she is very tiny for her age............Boy could you tell I needed to talk!!!! I don't sleep much due to a lot of stress right now, so when everyone is asleep I am on YT.
My Layla brings me such job and happiness always right by my side and will lick my tears away when I need a good old cry and boy I have need them a lot lately.
I love to dress my Layla, one day when I do figure it out I will post pics of her all dress up. I would have loved to be in this years GE but right now do not have the money to do it............hopefully next year!!!!
Sorry about such a long post..............I guess I really need it. Thanks for listening.

Thank you for giving me that link. The right end one in your avatar looks like my Tinkerbell. Welcome.

Welcome to YT. I am sorry to hear about your stuggles. You know that if you ever need to talk you can always post in the off topic discussion board. We have some great listeners here. I know that there is another lady on here that has a handicaped daughter and she posts every now and then. Keep your chin up. God only gives us as much as we can handle. I am happy that YT has brought so much joy to you and I hope that it continues to in the future.

Yeah, they sure do look alike. Aren't they precious?

What a beautiful story - your love for your daughter and family radiated rigth through the computer screen. I have a daughter with some special needs and several spinal surgeries, but nothing that she hasn't learned to live with or that has threatened her life yet. So while I can't "compare", I can appreciate how your life wasn't how you'd scripted it. But in some unexpected ways, it was better, wasn't it? ;) It's an honor to "meet" you!

Thanks for the post............Some people just don't understand were I am at.
I know God doesn't give you more then you can handle but sometimes I do wonder. I just pray about it. Crystal is such a happy child and always wants to please every one. I have friends that just don't understand I just can't go and do like they can....shopping, movie, girls night out, I have to have someone watch Crystal. I have been married to Crystal's father for 25 years,
he has to work so much to make ends meet because I now have to be at home with her because she is no longer in any type of school. Not a lot of people have to bath, wash hair, dress, there 24 yr old child as I do. I am always stress about what will happen to Crystal when something happens to me and her father......I hope I have raised my other 2 daughters well enough to take care of her. I don't want her to be put in a home!!!! So Sorry I have went on on on about this but I really have no one to talk to that might have a little bit of a insight into what I go though. In on of the post after my post in this thread someone stated that there is a mother on YT that has a daughter that is handicapped also..........is this you are if not do you know who
she would be talking about. Thanks for listening!!!!!!
