| new members intro section I have a suggestion to make. I think we need a special little area for new people to introduce them selves. I don't always see a new members post and I think sometimes they get shoved out of sight with all the postings. the first place i start is the "new posts" button. I dont' always have time to check them all out so I am sure I am missing lots of them. any way... I just thought it would be nice to go to a section daily to see new members and welcome them without missing any and needlessly making one feel less special than the other. Just a thought.

| That's a great idea! There are so many levels of yorkie addicts on this site, and I have had the greatest time talking to everyone, and feeling more normal and sane! My name is Lauren, I'm 24, I recently moved from Wichita KS to Austin TX to continue my education. I've had my two yorkies for about 2 years, and they are not litter mates. Their names are Tina and Tbone, and they are dynomite! It has been great meeting people on here, because I haven't had much opportunity to make friends in TX yet. It feels great to have people to talk to !

| I agree! When I joined (both times), it's those introductory messages that really sucked me in and made me feel comfy! I'm sure it's the same way for everyone!!

I joined and jumped right in with a question...I never did properly introduce myself, or Winston. Poor manners or maybe no manners...sorry!!! My name is Kathy, I am 51 years old...today. Winston is 3 years old. He is my second Yorkie...my first was Spencer who passed away 3 years ago at the age of 11. Born and raised right here in Kewanee, Illinois, and here is where I will stay til I'm older and grayer...then our plan is to become full time RV'ers...our dream!!!

| Belated welcome to YT Mary and Spanky. It can be a really fun place to be...and I still am learning more and more about Yorkies every day, even though I've had them for 15 years. Enjoy!!!

| I was on YT years ago when I had my first yorkie, Roxie. She was a puppy mill yorkie that we took in without knowledge of what we were really getting into. She was in such bad physiological shape and had some severe issues which got worse in time. After horrible stress in our family over her (the more stressed my husband became, the more I defended her, and the worse Roxie got with the stress, and the circle just got bigger), I contacted United Yorkie Rescue for some advice (who were the most wonderful people I ever met and also dealt with my own feelings of guilt and shortcoming). With their help, I ended up having to rehome her two states away to a home with no children, no pets, limited visitors, and the tools to deal with her. Long story short, I was devastated and couldn't come near YT. It took a few years before we were ready to try again. Coby is a darling and the perfect example of a healthy yorkie. So, I'm baaaack. We've had our Shi Tzu (who also has severe storm and camera (the lightning-maker) phobias, which makes it nearly impossible to take pictures!) for 10 years.

| LOL - I think that means that I spend too much time on YT instead of getting 8 hours of sleep a night!! And if you ask Coby, he'll tell you that I spend too much time on YT instead of playing with him!! (But I'm a good multi-tasker!)

| Tiny Paws Dog Shop Hello, I'm probably doing this wrong, but I thought I would give it a shot. I'm new to this website and I have no clue what I'm doing. A friend of mind gave me this website. We have two Yorkies Tiny and Peewee and we could not love anymore if they had been our children. Anyhow, I wanted to join a group where there were other Yorkies. And I wanted to let other know we have an online business my two daughters and I started this year. It's really slow, but we are hoping it will pickup. How do I start a topic here? There are so many questions, but maybe once I know how to start a topic it will make since. Thank you, Sylvia Quote:

| I think an intro forum would be a good idea too, especially with a site the size of this one. It would make finding and welcoming new people so much easier. |
