Anio is such a Butter Ball
 

This is Anio, born January 2nd. He is a special little guy, birthed by my almost 14 yr. old granddaughter because I had to work. Right now he's 10 weeks old and already weighs 4.75 pounds. His daddy is 4.5 pounds and mama is 4 pounds but I think Anio is taking after his tubby Tucker grandfather. He's such a rolly-polly, cuddler, almost like a bull in a china closet. He would make such a great pet for a family with younger children. Hope you enjoy watching him grow. First photo is from the day he was born, at 6 weeks and the last two were taken last week at 10 weeks old.

OHGoodness!! What a cutie pie!! He's going to make someone real happy.
Did I mention I love butter balls!!!

And did I mention that his grandfather, tubby Tucker, weighs 14.5 pounds? I don't think Anio is going to get that big, but you never know. Anio is very much like Alphy, who now lives in WA with YT member.

He is so cute, I love his little face!! I can't believe he is bigger than Love already!! He sure is a handsome boy!!

He's much closer to the ground than she is, and a lot rounder around the middle. But I'm sure he's not done growing yet. He is going to be a beauty.

look @ him grow !! they grow up too fast !! :eek:

Hes a chubby little thing, love that face.

new pics
 

I just took some new pictures last night. He just keeps getting rounder!

Oh Linda, he is so handsome...Almost looks like a teddy bear! You're killing me with all those little love bugs!

Yes, he does look like a teddy bear and he's a talker. He can't get his back end up on the couch yet and he will stand there talking to me to help him up. Of course, I talk back to him and encourage him to talk some more. He is really funny. Each day he looks more and more like Alphy, who looks very much like Reggie only her hair certainly wasn't as "fluffy" as his is.

Lol thats not chubbyness thats PURE MUSCLE! lol :P hes such a cutiee lil roly poly lol

Aw, he is SO cute! He reminds me of one of those little build-a-bears in the store windows :p

You're right, only he's just a little more active than the ones you build.....heehee!!!!! And lots more cuddly.

woow he is going to be pretty big....but cute like every other yorkie i have seen regardless of size...

awwww !! he looks like a big fat teddybear !! ;)

Anio you are a cutie!!

(I personally like butterballs...I wish I could fatten skinny Zoe Brooklyn up. My next one will be a butterball....nice and thick in a healthy way.)

Anio went to visit the vet today and checked out A-OK! Of course, he now weighs 5.2 pounds at 12 weeks old. Little Porker!!!!! He whined the whole way to the vet and then held on to my arm for dear life. As soon as I put him down to explore, he was fine. Silly puppy! Next week he will be going to live with his forever mommy Tiffany.

Oh gosh what a cutie! :D You gotta love those butterballs!!!! :D :D :D

Hi everybody! I'm new to the site. I have actually been looking for a small toy puppy for a little over a year now. I have been reading and observing people on this site and noticed how you all seem so into your babies. I love that about you all. I've noticed how helpful and supportive everyone has been. I'm sure I will be leaving messages on the site about puppy support. :)

I saw the reviews of Linda and just knew that she was the woman I would have to get my puppy from. Then I saw the pictures of Anio and knew he was the one for me. He is going to be my first fur baby. I have always had toy dogs (mostly toy poodles) in my life due to my mother being a hobby breeder years ago but now I feel like I have to take the training wheels of the bicycle and ride on my own.

I've already found a vet and groomers for him in Cherry Hill, NJ. I even registered Anio and I in training classes....I actually met Christina at Posh Pets and will be looking forward to meeting everyone at the meet up on the 22nd. Of course Anio won't be at that meeting since he is still pretty new and will be adjusting to his new home :) . But look forward to seeing pictures of him and meeting him at the meetup in May!

I'm looking forward to being a good furbaby mommie for Anio. I have to say, I have been giving some thought about the name. I like Anio's name...I think I will keep that as a part of his whole name. His name will be Cyrano like Cyrano de Bergerac. I can't wait for him to come home with me Thursday!

Any tips from furbaby mommies out there are definately welcome....I've been reading books on puppies....yorkies....What is vital that I do once he arrices home? What about transitioning? Any tips out there???? I'm all ears.

Congrats on getting Anio!! He is such a cutie!! His mother is my Destiny's sister. You will love having one of Linda's babies!! Yorkies are like no other dog breed. It won't take him long to have you wrapped around his paws!!
Can't wait to hear how things go and see pics of him in his new home!!!

OK, I have been in outer space! I missed that Anio found is new mommy! I LOVE HIM!
Linda, I am happy for you and for his new mommy... (I was kinda hoping.. but not really) I am glad to know he is going to a YT member!
Take care of this buddy boy!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!

Congrats Tiffany on your new fur baby! There is no love on earth like Yorkie Love!

congrats on your new furbaby, he is a cutey :)

Anio was supposed to go to his new home on Thursday but the weather was too cold and United wouldn't take him. He howled almost all the way there. So, instead, Tiffany is flying to Pittsburgh to pick him up in person. Can't wait to meet Anio's new mommy.

(Anio) Cyrano's long journey home...
 

Ok. Alas I am sitting in bed with my laptop and my new baby laying beside me asleep. He had a long and overly exciting day! I traveled to Pittsburgh by plane to pick Anio "I'm calling him Cyrano" up. When I finally got to the airport, I got to meet the one and only Linda. What a sweet lady. For only being able to talk for a few minutes, I could tell she loves her fur babbies and they love her.

Once Cyrano "Anio" and I went through the airport to the gate to wait for our flight, we felt like celebrities. We were stopped by EVERYONE along the way. So many people complimented him on how gorgeous he is and wanted to take a closer look. Boy, did he suck in all the attention.

When we finally did get to our gate and waited before boarding, I attempted to take him tink-tink "potty" like 2-3 times. Each time, he didn't have to go! He just looked at me with those big puppy dog brown eyes and wanted to play.

Once we finally made it aboard the plane, he was soooo nervous. He began to howl and whimper. I felt so badly for him and the flight attendants on that particular flight were extremely strict about him not getting out of his carrier so I had to comfort him the best way I could with my fingers through the carrier's holes. He finally calmed down about halfway through the flight.

Unfortunately, on the second lag of our flight, Cyrano "Anio's" mommy didn't do too well with the flight. As someone who as a big issue with car sickness, I actually had to ask for a doggy bad and vomited. EEeeeegh it was a nightmare for me. The flight was so bumpy, yet, he seemed calm and slept through it! Go figure!!

While we drove home, he grabbed on to dear life to my arm and didn't want to let go. The apartment manager of my complex met Cyrano and fell in love. She has a pug and wants them to be play cousins. He FINALLY went tink-tink outside like a big boy and of course we did our tink-tink dance.

Now it is after 11pm and Cyrano AKA Anio and I had a looong day. Thanks for all the well wishers. He is in good hands!
Tiffany

he is so sweet!!

Sounds like he is already at home in your arms. I love Linda's babies, I would take them all if I could!!:p
Now we just need pictures of the little guy in his new home!!

:yeahthat: Congradulations on the new edition!

It was go great to meet Anio's new mommy. Due to the cold weather, United would not ship Anio so after some checking on the internet, Tiffany found a cheap last minute flight and I meet her at the airport. We arrived at our meeting place at almost the same time.

I'm glad you two made it home OK. I'm sorry you got sick on the plane but had to laugh that Cyrano howled so much. I told you he was a talker! I know he is in good hands and be sure to keep us updated with photos. He is a special "little" guy and we are really going to miss him. Happy Easter.

Looking forward to pic.'s of Cyrano! Sorry the trip was not so great for you...

and welcome to Y.T.
