Sorry it's taken me so long to reply today. The "zoo' has been a circus today. LOL

I had a doctor appointment this morning, and it's a real trip to take the girls out, get ready, feed the girls, and Sweetie. And get out the door on time.

Oh boy, Harry and Pickles sound like a riot! I am not a bit surprised that Harry 'fessed up and retrieved the hidden toys, 'cause Yorkies are so smart!

Years ago, when I first got into Yorkies, a friend was a breeder, and whenever she traveled, I would puppy-sit. It was not unusual for me to have mom, dad, and a litter of puppies following me around. One of my friends females, Mindy, was a "runner". We were all out in my fenced yard, when Mindy squeezed her way under my gate, and down the alley. Well, I was on her tail like a shot! I knew I was never going to catch up, so, I squatted down in the alley, and called very sweetly, "Mindy, c'mon to back to me, baby". She stopped and turned, and looked at me, and I kept talking to her, and she ran back to me and I scooped her up, and hugged and and told her, "Please don't run away from Auntie Sheila, 'cause it would break my heart." When my friend returned, I told her what happened, and she replied, "Oh, I should have warned you, "Mindy's a runner"."

Yes, the duckling is a real duckling. I raise orphaned wildlife babies, and right now, I have a female mallard that I hatched from an abandoned egg, 8 weeks ago. My girls are actually very good with the babies. My little Kia loves babies and always wants to kiss them.

Well, speaking of Sweetie, I need to get her outside, I've been gone all morning, and she needs to go swimming.

Hi!

Thanks for the welcome. I"m sorry you had a bad experience with your breeder...hope Stewie is healthy though!

Hi, Stewie's Mom!

Thanks for the welcome. I'm sorry you had a bad breeder experience, and I'm glad Stewie is healthy.

Hopefully, you have dissuaded others from buying from that breeder, thus, sparing anyone from heartbreak.

Hi, Francie.

Thanks for the "kudos', but honestly, the wildlife babies are so sweet!

You're right; nothing faster than a run-a-way Yorkie! They've got the advantage, they already had the idea and acted on it, before we realize.....

I wouldn't say that I had a really bad experience. I knew that Stewie had skin problems when I got him. He is all better now, but I just don't think a good breeder would selll a dog with any kind of problems - they should take care of it first.

Where in Indiana are you ladies located?

Yorkieville200 07-10-2005 06:52 AM
Hi, Kristy.

I live in Valparaiso, IN. Originally from IL. Born in Chicago, actually. Grew up in Lansing. I have a brother in Homewood, and a sister in Elk Grove, IL. Where do you live?

I have to say, I agree with you, a good breeder wouldn't sell a puppy with any health problems and definitely would take care of any, before the puppy went to his/her new home. It's stressful enough when they leave their first home, without the added stress of vet visits to clear up a problem.

I live across the street from Midway in Chicago. I've been here all my life! (I'm only 21)

Yorkieville200 07-10-2005 07:13 AM
Kristy, how do you like living across from Midway? My sister is 30 minutes from O'Hare, and though she has been there, 15 years, it still surprises me when I visit, to hear the planes going over her house. LOL We actually have to stop talking, 'til they pass.

Hi! I found YorkieTalk a few weeks ago and I just had to register so I could reply to this post! I'm from the far west suburbs and I got my puppy Loki in March from Susan Harasim. I love him more than I ever thought I could. He is so smart and has the best personality. He must have been well socialized while with her because he is not at all aggressive and just loves to play and be with us. We are in our 3rd month of obedience training and he is doing very well. He goes everywhere with us and is very much our little kid.

I explained to Susan ahead of time what I was looking for (a bigger Yorkie- he's 6.5 pounds at almost 8 months, soft and thick coat, coloring, etc.) and she told me she had the perfect puppy for me. I was honest with her and she was honest with me. We love Loki so much!! I will try to post a picture of him if you would like.

I'm very interested in a get together. Loki loves to pounce and play and there is only one other little dog in his training class (and they get nothing done because they wrestle the whole time!). Yorkietalk is such a fun forum and I'm so excited to be here!

Hi, Erin!

It is so nice to "meet" someone else with one of Susan's babies. :aimeeyork

When is Loki's birthday? I got my little Kia, 6 years ago, this past March. She was born 12/27/99.

Susan is truly the nicest person, isn't she? :) She helped me pick the perfect baby for our family. My little Kia is tiny, just under 4#s and the sweetest girl.

I'm in Valparaiso, In. Where are you?

hehe. I've never lived more than a few blocks from Midway, so I don't know much else. I don't even hear the planes anymore. Its so ingrained in me that they're just a part of my day.

Any guests that spend the night have a very difficult time sleeping. A friend and I were leaving for vacation on an early flight out of Midway and she stayed the night at my house so she could get enough sleep and not drive over in the morning. Well, needless to say, she didn't sleep a wink and couldn't understand how no one in my house even stirred (including Stewie) when the planes were going over. They literally look like they are grazing the light posts on my street ;)

Welcome to YorkieTalk Erin. Hope you stick around. Which suburb are you in?

Yorkieville200 07-15-2005 03:14 AM
Hi, Kristy.

One of my sisters friends, has lived up by O'Hare, all her life. She said when they were teenagers, they used to sneak out at night, by opening the patio door when a plane flew overhead. Unfortunately, for her kids, she knows the drill and they can't get away with it. :)

Loki was born in November 2004. He'll be 8 months next week!

I'm in Sugar Grove. It's just west of Aurora. I seem to be far away from all of you!

Apricotkid 07-18-2005 05:01 AM
Hi, I see you ladies talking about Susans dogs and My mom Got Stewert from Susan in May . Hes about 16 weeks old now. very cute and full of energy. I live in Westmont and Mom and Stewie live in Franklin Park. Mary

StewiesMom 07-18-2005 05:07 AM
Apricotkid-

I think I know your sister if I'm not mistaken. The reason I think I do is because she got the name Stewart from me and my dog. Maybe I have you mixed up with someone else.

Kristy
