sounds fun what a great way to get to know someone!

CollegeCutieUSF · 02-11-2007, 05:25 PM

Count me and Mr. Biggs in! We missed out on the gift exchange, but this sounds even better!

I'll participate either way.

this is a great idea. if someone can let me know how, where, or who I need to talk to about this. I would love to be able to raise money for YT but I certainly don't want that to hinder people...I dont know that I would want to REQUIRE people to donate...the goal is to help people to get to know each other. let me put some more thought into this aspect of it but I am not closed to the idea of trying to raise money for YT in the process.

I am so glad everyone likes this idea. I am very excited to do this. Hubby is building me a nice database to store all of the info. I have a few people that have sent me their info already and I will be loading it into the database as soon as he is finished with it. I will then start pairing the puppy pals...it will be a random pairing. so you might get a puppy pal of the same sex, or you may get a pal of the opposite sex. but this is going to be a lot of fun. and I think we would switch pals once a year. does that sound ok??

How exciting!!!! I can't wait to get to know my new friend!! any ideas are certainly welcome. Please send me pm's with all of your info if you want to join..or if you have any ideas or info that might help me with this venture

i definitly agree with switching pals each year.. what a great way to get to know our YT family !

CJCinTX · 02-11-2007, 08:00 PM

Count us in! We'd love to exchange cards, etc. with a new pal!

sound good? then I will enter all of that stuff into the database and we will get this started. I will pm you with your pup pal's information. I dont see any need to keep it a secret from your pal, the idea is to get to know new people and make some friends. I have realized that you can really get to know some people here if you reach out. and if you are ever traveling for one reason or another, you can stop in a town and maybe already "know" someone. go have dinner or something while you are in town. so this is a way to help people reach out and get to know some really great people.

LOL It is a great Idea. I will get that info to you.

I think the donation is a good idea. I have participated in some secret pals in other types of forums (nothing to do with yorkies) and sometimes some pals would drop out and leave their pal out in the cold without saying anything

pepe mint · 02-12-2007, 05:38 AM

Looks like the thread got moved

oh well....

I am going to put some more thought into this...I literally posted that without thinking it all the way through

but everyone has brought up some great points. I will want to make sure everyone is participating. I would hope that we can come up with some way of making sure of this. I will think about it some more. I certainly want to have some guidelines. I think that once a month, you should send something to your pal. doesn't have to be anything major, but at least a card, maybe some treats or something. and if you do not get a package, wether it be a card, pictures, treats, SOMETHING...then let me know and I will mention it to your pal. this way you do not have to say anything to them. if someone is not participating, we will have to find a new buddy for the pal that is left hanging. do you guys think once a mnonth is fair? Or should we stick to just special occasions such as bdays, anniversary's, holidays, etc?

let me know what you think and I will put some basic guidelines in place.

if you haven't already, can you please pm me with your email addresses so I can keep that in the database as well? this way we can keep a good communication level.

thanks again...this really will be a lot of fun!!

I'm not sure I understand why this was moved to the Off Topics area? It has to do with yorkies.... It took me forever to find it again

mapetty · 02-12-2007, 07:58 AM
