Danny and Haddie

That is really neat and they are both ADORABLE!!!! These are some things you should know about Yorkie babies:
1. They need naps and shouldn't play until they fall over exhausted.
2. ALWAYS have a tube of Nutri-Cal near WHEREVER your baby is.
3. Proof your floor as though you are having a human 1 year old coming
in and going to tasted EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING they find (because
that is EXACTLY what you will have happen).
4. Sit on the floor while holding your puppy (and make anyone else too)
until you get to know them more as you don't want it dropped from
standing position. They can get squiggly in a flash.
5. Keep the pup at home and to yourself for the first three days....it could
affect the emotional stability for years to come. There are so many
changes and adjustments for them to go through in the transition.
6. Never let water get in their ears during bathing and make sure they are
completely dry and not chilled when done.
7. If the ears go down, trim the hair off them....they will go back up.

Ok, I'll stop! But if you have any questions, I'll help in any way I can

Temporarily named Danny (my boy) and Haddie (Joana74's girl), these little Libras are coincidentally what I like to call "star-crossed lovers!"

We still have a few weeks to choose their forever names, but we'll definitely update you with more pics and stories.

What advice do you have for Joana74 and I as being new Yorkie owners? Look forward to you feedback!

Here are their pics (#1 - Danny and #2 - Haddie):

Hi Dani! Thanks for the great work!

You gave GREAT suggestions! I've never even thought about some of those things. Even after reading everything I thought I could, there's always something new to learn. Thanks for sharing..!
