I am new and put this in the wrong place first time. So here goes again ? about Vegas

[MsFamousHepburn]

Welcome
Captain Jack Sparrow???
AWESOME name!!!!
I must say that Cpt. Jack is one of Johnny's best roles ever

[captianjack]

Thanks for the kind welcome, I love Jacks name too and
he seems to suit it well. Those of my friends who know me
weren't in the slightest bit surprised that I named him Captain
Jack Sparrow, considering that Johnny Depp is my favorite
actor. But also I agree it was one of his best rolls. I was Jack
Sparrow for halloween this past halloween to top it off.

My husband came up with the name, and was so excited when
we okayed the idea. It meant he gets to tell everyone that he
came up with the name. (its an on going joke in my house that
my husband is very dull with names lol every fish dog foster dog
lizzard bird foster cat that has passed the front doors has had
one of 3 hames. Shep, Charlie, and (after a jewel) like stone. haha
So it was quite funny when he ended up with bragging rights with
my kids and they were happy with his name choice too.

Thanks for the welcome here I seem to be finding out more here
then I have found out in all of 7 books I have purchased on training
and understanding Yorkies. Its so much better to learn from real
pros. Also if you have just a few minutes can you tell me, is it bad
for me to be letting Jack sleep with me?

thanks again

Welcome aboard, I love the name Captain Jack Sparrow, considering that Johnny Depp is my favorite actor too..........

I think letting a yorkie sleep in your bed is a choice and my hubby and I let 4 sleep with us!

Thanks they are cuddley aren't they. My husband first
figured (NO! actually said with no uncertain terms) that
a Yorkie isn't a dog. I was furious with him. My daughter
and I figured fine we dont care we would do fine. He was
hooked in less then ten min. of taking Jack home. He was
so funny my daughter started calling him a hypocrite. He
was snapping pictures left and right, taking work off early
to come home to visit him and taking him to visit the inlaws
to show of their newest "grandson" (I swear his words) he
absolutely adores Jack and is already looking for a brother or
sister for him.

I was saying to give Jack some time with the family but he
wants to give Jack lots of brothers and sisters as soon as
he can find them. haha he is so funny, if I could.. I would show
you the picture of the two of them sleeping on the couch
together.

take care

Hi I have a question about Yorkie fur?


Hi I am completely new about this, my Jack is the first Yorkie
I have ever had so please excuse my ignorance about not
knowing details about the fur. Okay the question is about the
fur, because I know that a Yorkie is known to be a supposedly
non shedding dog, but he is nearly nine months old and I am
noticing batches of fur all over the place. As well we have been
noticing a few small bald patches, PLEASE if there is anything to
worry about PLEASE PLEASE let me know soon as you read this
I am starting to worry and I am not sure what to think.

Thanks ahead for your personal time Jack and our family truly appreciate
it. Have a Happy Easter.

Jackie and his mom

I know that Yorkies shed there puppy hair, however I would check his skin for any abnormality and ask myself has he been scratching a lot lately? Also has anything changed or have you changed his food?

[captianjack]

Thanks for your response I really appreciate it, I have been quite
uncomfortable with this and at least now I have more reason to look
at him for something else. I gave him a bath earlier tonight and I found
that it seems just to be his "puppy" hair because his skin looks completely
normal (fingers crossed) Again thanks, and if there is something else I
won't be able to find out until the vets office opens back up on Tuesday.

Thanks again,
Jacks mom
