So what's your story? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Hey YTers!!! The thought occured to me, "I wonder why some of my new YT friends joined YT?" SO...I thought I'd ask

I'll start. I found YT one day while in class (yes I know I shouldn't have been surfin the web in class, but my prof was exceptionally boring!!!) I usually visitied the other site I'm a member of 8thcivic.com (yes I like cars

shocking isn't it?

) and I thought I'd browse for cute puppy pictures instead. I found this site and many classes later decided to join and ask about a certain breeder and ask for feedback. Thanks to YT, I stayed away from a bad breeder and I decided to stay and learn while I wait for the right time to get my first furbaby.

So what's your story, why did you join YT?

When my 1st pup was neutered, he had one nutty buddy that didn't drop so the vet had to go in like a spay and remove it. I was so worried about him with the large incision, stitches, pain meds & having him wear the cone for 2 weeks non-stop like my vet said so I got online and tried to google to find out more information to help him be more comfortable. Lo & Behold the search pulled up YT and that's how I got started on this amazing website.....learned so many tips and facts that I couldn't stop logging on...

Derby & I & now Jockey have been here ever since. We love YT!!!

Well when I was in the process of getting Dino I wanted to read more about house training, what I should do the first couple of months etc. Almost every search I did lead me to YT but it would lead me to threads from 2005, so I assumed that maybe the site had been shut down and there was just the what was left of the old threads. Then one day I was searching a question about showering puppies and I got curious so I just typed...yorkietalk.com... come and behold I came across a very great web site! I joined and it's been history ever since

I don't even remember....I think I just did a web search one day and ran accross it.

I joined to learn more about Yorkshire Terriers from people who own them, (or are owned by them!) and have an avenue to gather information. I was a member of a website for my Shih Tzu, so wanted to be a member of a website for my Yorkie mix too. I never knew what fun YT would be when I first signed up!! So many friendly & fun people on here, and we don't just talk about our babies all the time ... we talk about other stuff too. So I really enjoy it. I never thought I'd get up to over 400 posts in my whole life anywhere!!! I've decided once I hit 500 I'm gonna donate so I can get a big ol' "Donating Member" designation under my name.

Oh, and also contribute to a site thats so much fun.

I lost my yorkie, and about a year later I was looking at possibly get another little girl. The situation was very tramatic for me and I wasn't sure if I could get another, so I browsed online and found yorkie talk. YT helped me move past the grieve and open my heart again.

Suri is home now, just picked her up a few weeks ago.

Researching yorkies before ever getting one.

Mine's not a very exciting story....

DvlshAngel985 · 09-17-2008, 10:02 AM

It's ok, same story as mine. I thought it would be better to be informed before "taking the plunge"

Well when I read you could never house train them...it sold me.

BobbyYorkie · 09-17-2008, 10:43 AM

My Husband got Bobby for my 30th Bday. We went and picked him up, and I had no idea what to do with him. I was not familiar with the breed and he was the first puppy I ever had. So I started my research online and found this site. I cant remember exactly what I was searching for, but I am so glad I found YorkieTalk. I just looked as a guest for a few weeks to learn and then I joined. I love this site!

DvlshAngel985 · 09-18-2008, 05:34 PM

Seems like a few of us joined for "educational" purposes

Reese1 · 09-18-2008, 05:37 PM

I found YT about a month after we got Wrigley as a puppy!
I just did a search on Yorkies and found it! I wanted to learn more about them, since Wrigley was our first Yorkie. We had Crosley already, who is a Yorkie-Poo.

mizzwanned · 09-18-2008, 05:53 PM

I was researching Yorkies looking for my first Yorkie to be and i was on google and came across this site. Now i tell everyone with Yorkies about it

twalla · 09-18-2008, 06:35 PM

A google search for a name that I wont mention but his last name is that of a big dog

I found this site, found Sam, and made some great friends all in one night!
