It's great to hear that little Tiny is happy lying beside her little fire whilst it's so cold outside.
I love her her little updates.:D

Hello, Tiny & Taffy Are Both Cold!! Brrrrrrr!
 

Yes, we had such low temperatures here (4 degrees one night) that my hubby's high school opened 2 days late last Thursday and Friday.
Then, we had freezing rain on Sunday night which refroze again on Monday night, so he went in two hours late again on Monday & Tuesday this week! Taffy has enjoyed having Daddy at home for 4 mornings! Surprise, Daddy was home till 9:00. He has given Taffy pieces of srambled eggs since he had time to cook his breakfast. Happy little Yorkie!
Guess who first started giving Taff treats at our kitchen table? Mike! This was after I had to promised Mike that I would "never feed the dog at the table". Ha! I just looked at Mike & said, "Do not say I taught him table-begging." Ho!!
Stay warm! Taffy is wearing his fuzzy-lined coat & his sweaters to go outside to pee. (Note from old lady: I found several well-made coats & sweaters at varous times at our local, littleT.J. Maxx, they started a whole new 'dog/cat aisle' 3 years ago--and I Always check-out their far, back 'Clearance aisle'. I have found there: toys, shampoos, rug cleaners, beds, car seats, collars & leashes, and a very well-made, quilted dog carrier (for $20 instead of $65.+ from the same top company that our local Pet Store carries at $50-$80!) Really LOW PRICES in the clearance aisle! Too tempting for an Older Yorkie Mommy on a budet to resist! Got Taffy's two small-size, Swarzki-crystal decorated collars there from $4 -$9.down from $45!--plus, the matching leather leashes...for trips to the 2 small Cities nearby. Some of those 'city doggies' look pretty sharp. I do his grooming.
He seems to know when Mommy tries to get him "ready for the ride to town"--He walks differently and Actually will try to "Heel" next to me there! Ha! We have his old leather collar and polyester fabric leashes at home--Rinseable leashes for pee-over mistakes that he doesn't see.(Well, since my real human-child is grown & lives out of state, I buy little things once in a while for Taffy now.)
We have yet to have one pretty snow fall here! Just cold & ice! LOL, Sue/Taffy

To Julie/Alfie's Mum
 

What 2 cute puppies you have there at your home in Scotland!
(You know what--we have 2 Scottish families in our background: MacLellans and McCrays ("MacRae", but we think that one old settler had his last name's spelling changed on army rolls or by the imagration officials to an Irish spelling as there are NO real "Irish" MacRaes--these men were both Scotch-Irish who came to the USA, but a hundred years apart! The MacLellan family came in 1600's and went through the "King Philip's Indian Wars"--the Indian chief's Nickname during the Naragansett Colony's Indian Wars that were encouraged by the French to try to take over New England) and later the family's grandsons were in the "French & Indian Wars" and settled in Maine & Rhode Island colonies--MacLellan--and the great-great grandsons also fought in the American Revolution (they lived up in Maine). Now, my hubby is not sure when the first MacRae/McCray came over--1700's, he thinks. We know they were both "Scotch-Irish", which local historians say means they were "Scottish" originally.) I will ask my daughter if her Aunt knows about this early MacRae/McCray.

Hello from Tiny!
 

It has been a while since we have sent our best wishes to all of our YorkieTalk friends and family. Tiny is doing well. Father time has definitely caught up with my little girl, but she remains her sweet, loving self. She spends most of her day resting with her new friend Chester the Persian cat.:cat4: He is an elderly rescue that has become Tiny's partner in napping. Chester keeps Tiny warm with his beautiful fur. Hope the winter has finally passed. Hope you all have a wonderful Easter and spring!:bunnysmiley:

Good to hear from you and Tiny. Hello to Chester, and Happy Spring and Easter to all!

Glad to hear a good report and hoping Tiny and Chester's Spring and Easter are all they hope for.

Than you Yipyap for the compliments on my dogs, I really should update their photos as they are now almost 9 and 10.
Lovely to hear about your family originally coming fro Scotland , I think we scots have ended up pretty much everywhere . We also have some family who have emigrated to the U.S it nice to know a bit about your ancestry.

Little Tiny , I'm so glad you have a lovely cat to snuggle up to and keep you nice and warm. Keep those updates coming.

Animal Pals
 

So glad Tiny and Chester the cat have bonded. Our 5 pound Taffy loves to have our daughter bring her 11 pound cat home whenever she returns to visit. They first met when they were just a puppy and a kitten, and they always seem to remember one another even after months apart. They end up going back to playing their game of 'chase' around the first floor of the house. Otty Cat will perch on the high bed or a sofa back, and as soon as Taffy gives up the chase and walks away, Otty will suddenly run back in front of him and then look back at Taffy as if to say, "Come on, let's chase each other again." Then, off they go in big circles through the halls until Otty finally tires of their game and stays on a high spot till Taffy trots away, then Otty trots off to check-out other places in the house. They will also lay on the den rug about three feet away from each other, just enjoying having another old 'friend' close by again. -- Sue & Taffy

So glad to see updates on Tiny.
Hope Tiny , her new pal Chester, you and your family have a nice Easter!

So nice to hear a Tiny update. How wonderful for Tiny to have a snuggle buddy like Chester. Sunny Spring Wishes to you.

Beautiful story! I will be checking this thread often for updates. We would looove to see more pics too!

Little Tiny's final journey
 

It is with unbearable sadness that I tell you Tiny's life adventure has ended. Over the past few weeks she became weaker... her 16 year old body did not have much more to give. Tonight at 0215 she was laying on my shoulder, wiggled closer to my neck and with a soft sigh, she passed to God's arms. Her passing was as sweet and gentle as her wonderful nature. Even at her weakest moment, there was a calm gentleness in her eyes. She passed in peace and with the love that eluded her in her earlier life. I truly loved my Tiny. Her passing is painful. She leaves a huge void. I will simply miss my little friend... I loved her so. She was such a special gift, at a time when I probably needed her more than she needed me. But, it was time to let her spirit be free.

Tiny was happy and had found love when others had been so cruel to her. She was a great symbol of forgiveness. She was a wonderful friend. I hope that someone who reads her about her journey will remember her if the opportunity presents to help an elderly pet in need. Today I am going to a very crowded shelter and will sponsor the adoptions of 2 senior dogs in her name. If the opportunity presents itself please help a senior pet in need.

To all of her YorkieTalk family that have loved her from near and far, I thank you for your love and concern. The spirit of your kindness did make its way to her. Sadly, this will be the final entry for "Little Tiny in West Virginia". We wish you all well and hope that life will be good to all of you.

I am reading this with tears is my eyes, I have followed Tiny's story from day one and loved to hear her little updates. You were a true and loyal mum to this little one and I feel your sadness , know that we are thinking of you at this sad time. She was a little sweetheart and she came into your life for a reason, it's truly lovely that you are going to Sponser in her name , I hope this brings you comfort in your hour of need. Remember she is always in your heart but also she is all the people who followed her little stories heart and she will be remembered. Love Julie xx

Her story has been a blessing to all of us on YT. Hugs to you and deep sympathy. Thanks for being her angel.
