Well, I won't be moving close to Houston. I will be moving to Borger. I don't think there's much to do there. I don't really want to move but that's where my husband is so I guess us wives have to do what we have to do. LOL!

You will love the weather in Texas.

Hello! This is Gabe and we live at Edgerton, Kansas on a farm. He was a Christmas present from Heather and Gracie. She found him for us in Pittsburg where she lives and attends PSU. He is a year and a half old, a busy boy and a lover.

I'm bumping this message up again to find more Kansans! BTW how did the get together go? Is there anyone willing to email all of us Kansans to let us know when the next one is?
Hope you all don't have too much snow or ice left wherever you are! We got hit all over the state!
Let me hear from you!

Rosemary W. · 01-25-2007, 12:58 PM

We are a new family for Gabe since he was over a year old when we received him as a Christmas present. Heather W. who has a post on here is our granddaughter and Gracie, her sweet little Yorkie. We live 40 miles southwest of Kansas City. Gracie lived with us all last semester and we fell in love with her. Gabe had a vet visit yesterday and $110 later he was pronounced a healthy 9 and 1/2 lb. busy boy!

Hello. We are fellow Kansans too (Lenexa, Kansas). "We" being my 13 year-old "Chewbud" (papers say he's a Yorkie, but he looks more like a Silky, Brad (my husband), and I. Greetings to all of you! By the way, does anyone know of a good Vet in the Kansas City area? Peace & Joy.

Rosemary W. · 02-02-2007, 11:29 AM

Hi, Salshine. We don't live to many miles apart. You asked about a good vet in the area. Oakbrook Animal Hospital in Gardner, Ks. has two that are excellent. We took Gabe to Larry Garten,DVM for his first visit, shots, etc. My son in Gardner who owns a English bulldog uses him and thinks he is the best. Phone # for them is 1-888-884-8780. Hello to all you Kansans! "Let the Sun shine in on a cold winter day."

I don't think there are any get togethers planned. Maybe we could start one?? I think the Kansas people have only had 1 which was about a year ago!

It was fun!!

Rosemary: Okay, you're not too far away at all. Thanks for the recommendation on a vet. Chewbud is 13 yrs old and I'm starting to see a variety of things going on with him (loosing his sight, he's been not chewing his food well and then throw it up, foul breath/teeth, etc.). Sounds like Gabe is about the same size as Chew! Other than the above, Chew has been in exceptional health and I can't help but wonder whether the bigger yorkies are naturally more hearty! Anyway, nice chatting with you!

Rosemary W. · 02-07-2007, 08:01 AM

Hello, salshine. It sounds like chewbud is having major health problems, probably age related. I recommend Dr. Garven, he is so gentle and kind hearted. When he checked Gabe he told me to try to get him use to brushing his teeth. So far I have the toothpaste and he likes the taste but not sure about the brush! Is chewbud a soft curly Yorkie or the longer, wavy haired kind? You can tell from Gabe's pic. his is sleek and wavy. We've had him about 6 wks. now and see improvement everyday, anyway we think we are still the boss in this house. Enjoying your posts

salshine · 02-07-2007, 08:13 AM

Rosemary: He's actually been acting alot better lately (hasn't vomited in 3 days!) What kind of toothpaste does Gabe like? Chewy has the silky/wavy type hair.

I might as well post on this board too. I was born outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, moved to Southern California when I was an infant. Surprisingly enough, the Wisconsin accent still comes out!!! I moved to Salina last August, and after about 2 months of getting used to living so far away from home, I'm not afraid to admit that I

it here!

Yesterday, was beautiful and in the 60's...I don't think that it will get that warm again today.

I lived here long enough to know how upset you get when people say "Kansas, they grow corn..." My roommate was in California with me over winter break. She kept saying, "It's WHEAT!! Nebreaska & Iowa grow corn!" It was quite hilarious...I guess you had to be there
