Im new here, wanted to introduce myself and "Addison" our rescue yorkie 3 Attachment(s) We were lucky enough to adopt Addison on October 17th from a wonderful rescue group. He was apparently abused and pulled out of the environment by Animal Control. I for the life of me can not understand why anyone would ever want to harm an animal, much less such a small sweet natured boy such as our Addison. We were told he is a yorkie, one year old. He came home and has the most gentle yet playful temperament. He sleeps in his crate at night by my bedside. (one of the hardest things I have ever had to do!) but he simply nestles in and falls asleep quickly, as long as he sees me near. He never leaves my side during wdaking hours. Has decided he can share my lap with my cat, but cannot seem to figure out why the cat doesnt show as much excitement as he does when playing. He has only had one accident in the house so far. He loved the bath we gave him and has yet to show any agression in any form.We bought an infant hair brush and comb, not real effective but wanted to start him be as gentle as we could during our transition, he doesnt seem to mind being groomed at all. We had the neighbor boys visit us (age 10 & 12) upon walking down our long driveway, Addison began barking and became very excited. For a moment my husband and I wondered if he would become agressive, but no, he ran as fast as his little legs would carry him, once they approached him and literally jumped into ones arms. He adores children, Im guessing he had children in his life prior to us and they must of been his "happy place". I have had a dog as a companion my entire life. But I must admit, all were larger breeds. My parents showed Great Danes when I was young and we always have shared our home with the larger breeds. Upon my parents retirement they adopted two toy poodles (neutered males) from rescue groups. This opened my life up to the smaller breeds. There simply is nothing better than a lap dog to cuddle with and ease of traveling (we are both retired also). My husband had a yorkie for 12 years as a young boy. This baby has been a perfect fit for our world. My husband isnt positive he is a yorkie (due to his size) he feels he may be a silkie. He is 9 inches tall and 9 lbs now. He also has a silky wavy coat. I am not sure if it will grow out but he does seem to have gained some length in the 10 days we have had him. Of course his "purebred" status makes no difference to us at all, he has won our hearts and I now find myself worrying about his wellbeing all the time and I cannot imagine ever losing him. I am certainly very glad to have found this group as I am a true newbie to the yorkie breed and I imagine I will have many questions in the future. I uploaded some photos of my little boy in the photo area. Thanking all of you in advance for the advice and support, this seems like a genuinely warm forum full of comradre. |

He's all Yorkie for sure. Your so very lucky, he sounds like the perfect little man. Tell hubby even tho he's 9lbs he's still a little guy. My Buddy is 16lbs and all Yorkie. The do come in all sizes but a Yorkie is a Yorkie. Congratulations on Addison and welcome to YT. What a little charmer you have. |
What a sweetie! Congrats on your new addition! :) |
hi to you and addison we are new to this site and have found everyone to be so welcomeing and helpful im so sorry your little boy has had such a bad start to his life but now hes got such a careing mommy and daddy he will come on in leaps and bounds look forward to hearing more on how hes getting on :animal-pa:animal-pa |
:DHow gorgeous! All of my Yorkies are bigger than breed standard..you know there are 20 lb yorkies!!!! The only problem is Baxter (13 lbs) remembers his puppy days, and wants to sit on my shoulders or chest all the time. There is a hige difference between a 1 lb puppy on your chest and a 13 lb one!!!! :D Darcy is my Yorkie rescue. That makes her that much more precious to me than she already is. You will fall more and more in love with him each day! |
Oh my... Just look at that handsome face.. :D Your story is very touching. I love hearing about the love between man and animal.. It makes me feel that the world is not so bad, and there are still a lot of nice people in it ;) I am sort of new here, too, and I hope you will find this site as informative and as friendly as I have found it. Welcome!! Babz, Mocha and Lulu. |
Addison is a sweetie! Enjoy that gorgeous boy, and welcome to YT! |
he is gorgeous congrats on your lucky little baby |
Addison sure looks like a Yorkie to me. He's a lucky little boy to find such a loving home after being abused. It just breaks my heart how anyone could abuse any dog at all - but especially such a tiny little guy. Congratulations and best wishes with your new little baby!!! |
he's so cute!!! congratulation on your new baby! I say he's a yorkie, a big one, we call them teapots, altough there are much bigger ones here... like they say... more to love :D I'm glad he's showing good behavior... poor baby, I can't understand how somebody would abuse him :( . I'm glad he's with you now... I'm sure he'll live a very happy life from now on :) |
Welcome to YT! Addison is beautiful! You will love it here! Everyone is so helpful and friendly. :yorkietal |
:welcome4: to YT! Bless you for adopting! He's such a handsome little man:animal-pa |
