I cannot even imagine only having 10 active members on YT, because of the 40,000+ members now. I bet it was fun getting to know everyone.

It would be so fun for all the "oldies but goodies" who are still around to post. I didn't post much the first couple of years I was a member (shame on me) but I saw the light and repented.

I love YT - it is very much a part of my daily life -- Hugs to FE for making this site available to all!

I hope everyone does post!

That is so interesting that you knew you were #199. Is there a way to still figure this out?

Thank you administration, for posting the thread that explains some of the history.

Very, very interesting and everyone's hard work is much appreciated here.

I joined 12/12/2005 shortly after getting Bubba. I was searching the internet for advice on how to deal with a sick Bubba. When I got him he came with kennel cough (discovered on the way home from getting him) which developed into pneumonia. After many weeks of antibiotics and many tears so afraid he would die that I couln't even work, he finally recovered only to find he has a heart murmur (still does but it's slight now-grade 1 and you'd never know it by the way he is). As he grew he had the usual puppy problems-knots, extra teeth (who knew?), neutering etc. and it was wonderful to have the support and the vast information of this group. By the way, Bubba came from a pet store and is a puppy mill baby, I had no idea that this horror existed till YT. Now that I have a second yorkie, my sweet little (11lbs.) rescue, Sissy I don't feel like such a spaz and can take problems with a little less hysteria (for which, I'm sure my vet thanks you all). When she coughs and makes honking noises I know it's "just her yorkie trachea".

So thanks everyone for all the support and caring found here.

and I hope YT is around for a good long time to come.

I originally had joined another Yorkie board (can't even remember the name of it now) but then I think it was going under or something - can't even remember the details now - and Villette turned me on to this board not long after it started. I wish I knew what number I was joining but I think it was pretty early in it's conception. It really has been a wealth of information. I wish I had something like this site to turn to when I was raising my toy poodle many years ago. I don't post all that often (as you can see by my post count) but I read as much of the board as I can while at work every day.

Thanks again YT for everything!

Thanks for the info. I just learned something new.

Also, would love to hear how you came up with the idea for YorkieTalk, Administration.

One freezing cold day last winter, I went back and read some of the earliest threads - it was really interesting to see the beginnings. (You can do this by going to the general forum & where it says page #s - click on last)

Congratulations and Happy Birthday to Yorkie Talk...

I can't Thank-You enough for making this the greatest site for those who Love their Yorkies!! This site and it's members have become such a big part of my life!! With my heart the way it is, I don't get out much if it's too hot or too cold. On here I can talk to people and still feel involved with life. I was a Vet Tech and can no longer work. Thank-You and Happy 5th Birthday again,

Thanks, Admin ... I never knew I was #43!!! I also want to apologize for overlooking YT's birthday. It has been a wonderful [almost] five years for Toto and me! I really appreciate all the hard work that has been poured in to this site and the fact that it remains practically "drama free".

Villette [#176] and I have been here for a long time and remain great friends after all these years. I have "met" so many wonderful members here and have learned so much about our wonderful breed.

Again, thank you!! Hugs! Bettye & Toto

HAPPY FIFTH BIRTHDAY, YORKIETALK!!!

Happy 5th Birthday to Yorkie Talk!........my second home

I joined YT just a little over a year ago; member # 21,876. I believe I was probably googling info on yorkie heat cycles, breeding, and pregnancy and up popped info from a thread on YT! Not being very internet smart, I was a little leary about joining anything over the internet, but the power of craving anything and everything yorkie overcame my fear............and the rest is history! Here I am............and I'm here to stay!

Thank you Admin, Moderators, YT members and friends, for making this a place I am happy to call "my second home".

wemple2 · 01-05-2009, 07:37 PM

Happy Birthday YorkieTalk...wow 5 years...I wish I was here way back then, I could've used your help and guidance, LOL, actually I needed you most 17 years ago when I got my first Yorkie...But now you or should I say we, are here to help those first time Yorkie owners.
