Introduction of Tristan
 

I just registered for this board, so I thought the best way to start would be with introducing myself and (more importantly) my Yorkie.

My name is Robyn. I'm 20 years old, and a sophomore in college, majoring in Special Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. I work in Walt Disney World seasonally through the Walt Disney World College Program.

The puppy!

(sorry if the picture is a little big)

His name is Tristan, and he is 6 months old (as of today). We bought him from a great breeder about 1 1/2-2 months after our old dog passed away from liver cancer last November (She was 14 years old and 65 lbs, so she lived a good long life). He has a GREAT personality and he's really smart (and silly, as you may see in that picture!). We aren't going to show him- he's a pet to us. Besides, at 6 months old, still primarily black and tan (with a little silver on his head) with flopped ears and tipping the scales at 11 lbs (from his stature! We don't overfeed our dogs!), I don't think he's eligible! We also didn't want him to have the long coat- we're fine with the "teddy bear" look. We're considering signing him up for agility classes, since he's so high-energy and springy. Have any of you guys put your Yorkies through agility training?

We do have a member that is into agility -- I think the member name is yorkieagility. She may be able to steer you in the right direction.

Welcome to our family!

What a great way to earn money and gain special experience . . . Walt Disney World!!!

Sounds so sweet!!! Can't wait to see some more pics. (I couldn't see the other one.)

Thanks for the alert on the pic! I'll just post a pic in the thread, then. It's not as recent (or funny) as the one there. I'll try to upload that newer pic when I can!



He's about 8 lbs there, I think. I don't remember.

Tristan is SUCH a cutie! Welcome to Yorkie Talk!! :D

Ooh! I just learned how to post pics! So here's a couple of the funny Tristan pics I promised!

Tristan, is so cute...

Welcome!
 

Welcome! I just joined in a couple of months ago...and I'm still loving it.
Tristan is so cute. I think all yorkies are so cute...I know everybody would agree to that.

Welcome to YT! Your Tristan is awfullly cute!!!! and that picture of him asleep in his carrier is Priceless! So cute! :eek: :p

Welcome to YT. Your Tristan is a cutie, great pic's

Welcome, he is beautiful. I love the look in the eight pound picture-such pretty eyes.

I was wondering about your username (it's cute). At first I thought you had a girl dog named Mickey. Is it because there is a girl (maybe you?) in the Mickey suit at WDW?
Ignore me if I'm being nosey.

Hi!! Bo and I welcome you to YT! Tristan is adorable. Bo is 6 months old and he also has flop ears. He's mommy's boy!! Enjoy the forum.

I'm a theatre minor, and because I worked at Disney, everyone calls me Mickey. That, and one of the technical theatre professors worked for Universal in Orlando, so we have a mock rivalry.

I really like it, so I wondered - thanks for replying. :)

Hello and welcome! You've come to the right place! Tristan is so darling! I have a female named Maddie who is about 7 1/2 months. Don't know how I ever managed without her!
