So here's my thought on car decals. Do you think a "yorkie" decal would target you in anyway?

As I'm typing that I feel crazy :p.

I found a "I Love My Yorkies" one and was so excited bc a lot are just for one but I wanted both girls to be represented.

What does everyone think?

He said that as the economy has plummeted dog nappy has risen!


We have a cheapo DVR home security system here it was less than $500 and what a piece of mind it brings for both watching the dogs while we're out, and it's a set up Nanny cam ready to go when we get a sitter!

I want more cameras, and we're going to post some signs around the house stating we have security cameras here now...I don't think that being well prepared and just plain leary and aware really counts as being paranoid-anything that would detour is great IMHO

I shoudl add to be honest our security cameras have become the new toy more than anything else-we can talk through them...the kids think it's the greatest prank ever...and it kind of is.

I went ahead and posted our, "In case of emergency please save my Yorkies" sign by the front door for the fire department etc, but considering we've never had thefts in our neighborhood which I grew up in and in the last couple months a string of vehicle break ins


I'm glad I listened. No advertising here and pad locks on tall he gates now.
