Scarlett (L) & Mouse (R)
Cathie,
Scarlett has finally settled in. She is up to normal weight
at around 6.75# and has taken to running around the house and
wrestling with Mouse. She is so funny with new things like
snow. She tried to stand on 1 foot when she went out in it
the other day. I know that I have been remiss. I will send
some pictures along with the agreement in the next few days.
Thank you,
Dr
D
Note: Scarlett is the second poodle Dr Timothy Donovan has adopted through Yorkies Inc. He and his wife Cheryl adopted Mouse the little black female last year. Together they own and operate Kindred Spirits Mobile Veterinary Services out of Acushnet Ma. Dr Donovan has been one of our Vets for many years and has done many of our Luxating Patella surgeries.

Kiani now KiKi
Hello Aunt Cathie,
This is Kiani but my new Mommy &
Daddy call me Ki-Ki which I like very well. Yes, Mom is
sending the check today( like they say it in the mail ) along
with my Adoption Agreement. So
this is going to be my forever home. I'm doing pretty good
with going outside to the potty an on snow days going on the
paper. I sleep all night in the big bed with Mommy & Daddy an
they like that alot. We are trying to put on some weight
because Dr. M says I need a good two pounds I'm only 4lbs
6ozs. I'm doing really good eating all my food. I got a new
green one's-z today an I look great in it. So please put on the Web site that
I've been adoped an I just love it here! So everyone will
know. Now if you find a brother for me that would make the
world a wonderful place , but we'll wait till one comes along. I went downtown Leominster to the
Christmas Stroll in my bag an everyone loved me. There was
Christmas Carols, Hot Choc.,Cookies, Cider, a parade, but it
was real cold so Dad can't stay out in that weather so we came
home early , BUT I WAS A HIT!
Ok now don't forget where I live in
my forever home.
Love, & Kisses, Ki-Ki

Donnie now Dove
Hi Kerri, The container/bowl could be
part of the issue. I noticed
that Donnie, who I've renamed Dove, backed away from a
stainless steel
bowl and moved toward a ceramic one, although without
drinking. This morning when we came inside from
letting him relieve himself, he
Hi, Kerri.
Dove continues to adjust nicely. He's begun exploring his new
home.
While the weather is warmish, we're spending more time
outdoors,
alternating carrying him inside my sweater and walking on a
lead. The
neighbors have been delighted to meet him.
Could you send again the photo of Donny (as he was then
called) with
your Yorkies, as an attachment that I might download? I've
just
switched to Gmail and, as usual, some options aren't yet
available on
my Mac.
Thanks for everything. |

Pogo now
TeddyBear (Lil' Man)
Hi
Cathie, Well it took a while for my little Bella to warm up to
Teddy Bear, but things are just fine now. Chilli is leaving at
the end of the month, and I know he will miss her, because she
plays a lot with him. She is moving to New Jersey with her Daddy
Nick, as he has a job there as a meteorologist. I know that this
will allow Bella and Little Man to become best buds. I can't
tell you how much I love this little guy. He is just full of
himself, but is still so moving and affectionate. I can't
imagine life without him now. He potty trained very quickly. He
now deliberately goes potty, even just a sprinkle, so that he
can get his cheerio for being a good little man. He is very
smart, and already will sit, go up, knows time to eat, cookie,
come, want to go outside, and will even potty on command! This
past weekend he got to meet my daughter Nicole (who lives in
NYC) and she totally fell in love with him. She wanted to steal
him, but I said NO WAY, he Mommy's little boy (LOL). I can't
thank you enough for letting me adopt him. He is really loved by
everyone.
Update 10/20/08: Hi Cathie, Gosh, it's been so long since
we talked. I wanted to give you an update on my little boy.
Remember we had changed his name to Teddy Bear? Well everyone
has been calling him Lil' Man so......that seems to be his
forever name now. I'ts funny as it seems to really fit him well.
Although he has many little nicknames such as Lil' Mop, Lil'
Boy, Pappy Bear and I can't forget Doll Face! We love him so
much that I can't believe we lived live without him! Everyone
that meets him wants him. I tell them no way he's "MY" Lil Boy.
I never seen a lil dog use his paws so much, he always puts them
up for you to pat him or to touch your face. Just to cute!!!
He's now just a little shorter than Bella and about 4.5 lbs.
Bella is 3.14 so he's just a lil bigger. Let me know when you
are planning a Yorkie play date. Take Care, UPdate 12/31/09 Lil Man
Hi Cathie,
My Lil Man is doing great!!! My husband just loves him, he calls him his lil buddy! (Sorry Nick but he's mine LOL ) Are you planning to have the playdate this year? Please let me know as I really enjoyed being surrounded by so many wonderful little creatures! And of coarse meeting everyone. Hope you have a Happy New Year. Feel Better, Judy

Linc now Hansome & Snowball now Murray Hi Kerri,
Hansome Linc and Murray (Snowball)
are doing great. Each day that goes by they are learning new
things and becoming more and more comfortable in their new
surroundings. I take them outside a lot, either in the car or
walking on the leash. They are becoming acclimated to all the
loud noises aro
 und
the neighborhood and with meeting new people and dogs.
The dogwalker is still learning to
get to know them, and them her. Still haven't quite mastered
complete housetraining as yet, but its a work in progress.
I still call Linc by name, but
other times end up calling him Hansome (short for handsome)
instead when we are alone. He's just such a handsome boy, I
can't help it.
Murray doesn't look like a Murray,
but I got tired of trying out different names and settled on
that one. I always liked the name from that show, Mad About
You. Now I'm used to it and he looks at me when I say it.
Although neither one of them come when called.......only when
they want to : ) Murray is the protector of the house
(usually when he is scared of something). He barks at the
boats going by or if he sees someone at a distance. But he's
better outside on
walks and stays quiet as long as we
keep moving. Linc rarely barks which is fine by me. If I pat
and talk softly to Murray he'll settle down. He is like a
little nervous teenager. Thinks he's brave when he's not.
He's sitting on my lap right now while I write this.
They are eating better now, but still
don't drink much water. It's funny when we walk, Murray marks
his territory all the time, and Linc just wants to keep
walking. He only pees when he needs to, whereas Murray wants
everyone to know where he's been. We just got back from walking all
around 2nd cliff (Peggotty Beach) and back. The waves are
still huge and people are surfing in the water. They didn't
like the storm yesterday and were scared of the wind. But we
got thru it and today is beautiful. Hope all is well with you. Were you
able to find out their exact birthdays yet? I'd just really
like to know for sure. Thanks.

Pixie
now
Pochade
Dear Cathie and John,
All is well for us
here in Newport. Pixie has
been doing great with her potty training. Hasn't pooped
inside yet. I take her for long walks and she is
doing so well. Of course everyone and their mother
wants to pet her
and pick her up. Permission has not been granted on the pick
up part. She has developed this sassy little walk and just
steals everyone's heart including mine. I will take some
pictures this weekend and forward
them on to you. right now she is asleep on the couch
next to me. I think the only time we have been apart is when
I am in the shower. I just love this little girl. I have also been taking care of a
mini poodle. I know you were concerned about her being around larger dogs. But Cattie is a
very gentle well mannered older dog. Her owner has been very
ill and she is camping out with us for awhile. Hope you are filling the void Pixie
has left and your floors look spectacular.
Dear Cathie and John,
I know you are wondering about me.
Just thought I would write and tell you I am just fine. My
new mom is spoiling me to death. She thinks pink is my
favorite color. Well it is.
Today she washe
 d
her bed linens and put me in the dryer warm basket. Oh was
that comfy. I was asleep in seconds.
I am a huge hit in the neighborhood
even though I am such a little peanut.
I didn't want you to worry about
me. I do miss you, but it sure is great being princess of
this 300 year old colonial home. Here is my latest picture
straight from the laundry.
Love and Kisses
Pochade Alias Pixie
PS
Later, Betty Ann & Pixie
Update 7/3/08:Dear Cathie and John, It has been
awhile since I wrote and I thought you might like to have a
new picture of me. I am not too modest. I love my life here
in Newport and mommy spoils me so. I do start obedience
class in a week. Mommie has been constantly checking your
site. She would love to have a play mate for me. Take care
and mommy and I will come and visit some time. Or if you
are ever in Newport we would love to see you. Sincerely,
Pochade and Mommy
Coco, Chanel & Pochade
Update 9/25/09:Dear Cathie
and John, Just a note to say hello and let you know we
talk about you all the time and have given out the
yorkiesinc web site to so many of our gallery customers.
Hopefully some of them have worked out as homes for this
incredible breed of dog. You had given me a catalog with
grooming supplies and a certain kind of shampoo you
recommended. I cannot find it. Could you send the name
so I can find them on line. Would love to try a different
shampoo on them.
Pochade and Coco and Chanel are still together. Filling
my life with joy everyday. I love looking at all the
available dogs from time to time and reading their story.
Just read the rainbow bridge ones. Tears kept flowing.
Be well and maybe we will take a ride up to your neck of
the woods some day. Sincerely, Betty Ann, Pochade (pochie)
Coco (cocopuff) and Chanel (Canelly) As nick named by
my great niece that spends the summer with us.

Toby
Dear Yorkies We would like to thank you. Toby is a wonderful addition to our family. Toby loves going for walks and running around the yard. He loves to be with us, and we LOVE having him. Toby sleeps with mom and dad every night, but usually lays in bed with Alexa and Anna until mom goes to bed. Thanks again, The Galasso Family |

Kadee
Hi Cathie
We just want to thank you so much for
bringing Kadee into our lives and home. She is the best dog I
could ever imagine. I still can't believe how great Kadee is
with Cloee! She is really a love! I believe it was meant to
be. Thank You for all you do, all your help with advice and
hints and help to this ignorant 1st time dog keeper, and for
Yorkies Inc. Thank you too for having faith in us, to provide
Kadee with a good, happy, safe home.
I am attaching the photo we just took
of ourselves.
Sincerely Zita |

Candy
Candy joined our family in July of 2007 , After fostering her and her sister DeDe for Yorkies Inc. We just couldn't bear to give her up... She is a joy. She plays well with her two brothers Riley & Rocky and has completed our family circle. She is truly loved! Cecile & Everett McGarty Rocky was also adopted by the McGarty's through Yorkies Inc. |

DeDe & Joppa
now
Joey
hi,cathie,
the babies are just wonderful..they love the yard, they race
around like crazy.....joppa,aka joey,aka pepe (because he looks like a little skunk) is a wild p  uppy..i
think dede is somewhat overwhelmed with him, as he is constantly at her, chasing, playing, nipping at her with those sharp puppy teeth.....she has had to show him who's boss a few times...he wants her food, she wants his... i have added some chicken soup dry dog food to his food, as he started to loose interest...also, with the combination, he seems to be peeing less often, a more normal number of times. but, i truly forgot what it was like to train a puppy!!!!!! oh, my! i think he needs military school. dede is a joy, she is so sweet and lovable...she gives all kinds of kisses....he does too... we are a little tired, but very happy....and i think the dogs are also. thank you so much, i am so glad that you chose us. take care, hope all are well at your house. deb & janet
Update 1/2/2008: Hi Cathie, Just a note to let you
know the kids are fine...dede, also known as deedles, is
absolutely wonderful.......she is more and more affectionate
and playful by the day...she also has a great deal of
patience with joey, as he is a typical younger brother,
taking her toys way, always wanting to play...she still gets
nervous when in the car, or around strangers, but getting
better.... joey is still a work in
progress...he is a sweetie (especially when sleeping), but
still thinks he's in charge..we have a few items we are
working on with him...we keep up with your web site, and
appreciate all you take on with these little ones...take care, and have a happy new year,
deb coletta & janet otovic,
dede & joey
Hi Cathy!...I have been meaning to donate every time I look
at your Web site and see all the little darlings that need
help!....please put donation to Miley from cousins Joey and
DeDe. Everyone here is doing well, Deb, me, Joey and DeDe!....Joey
is still quite a challenge in terms of housebreaking, but he
is improving and growing up and is a very sweet boy who give
lots of kisses. You would never know he had knee problems by
the way he runs and jumps! DeDe is still coming out of her
shell more and more everyday, she stands up to Joey and
their play is better than ever, Joey even lets her play with
a toy sometimes since they're all his you know! We hope you
are well, we had a great time at the Yorkie reunion play
date and hope to attend again next year. Thank you for all
the wonderful work you do for little dogs, I'm glad they
have a friend like you!....and so are we!
Update 8/8/08:Hi Cathie, Here is a recent picture of Joey
& Dede...hope your summer is going well!
Take care, Janet

Roland
Hi Kerri,
Roland is doing good. He follows me every where I go!! He's so
cute the way he stands on his hind legs and wiggles his front
paws. Maggie's been pretty good even when Roland has stuck his
nose in her food or tried to take her cookie. The only time
she gets upset is if I'm playing too much with him or when I
come home and they both run to me- Maggie doesn't like the
divided attention...I love Roland-He's a doll-sweet and a
little toughy at the same time. He's getting is s
 titches
out the week and he's going to the groomer for a more
manageable hair do. He hates the tub!! I washed his head and
he went crazy while he was standing in the tub-I never knew
such a little dog could be such a strong adversary!! Good Luck
to the groomers! I corded Rolands food through the Internet
and then this weekend I found a store up the street from our
place on the Cape-so I bought a few cans of the Merricks Pot
Pie until my order is delivered. Do you know if he has
Frontline Tick medicine on already? or should I put some on
him?I really think he's going to be a good fit-he respects
Maggie when she tells him to buzz off but doesn't cower from
her-it's a healthy reaction. We all just got back from the
Cape today and we are going back on Wednesday night until next
week-still trying to train him he's not going on the pee pads
I put on the floor he's walking really well on the leash
following Maggies lead and he's pooped outside once and I made
a big deal about it but he didn't seem too moved by the
experience-I make a big deal out of Maggies poop and pee
hoping he'll get the message but I think he's so fascinated by
the outdoors that he's not making the connection yet. At first
he was afraid of everything cars trucks but he's come so far
in a little less than a wee that I feel good about his
progress.He was great in the car-at first he shook for 10 mins.
then he relaxed and even feel asleep during the hour and a
half ride-he's better than maggie in the car. I'm hoping all
the training will click as soon as he feels safe which I know
could take awhile. AC in Dorchester but not on the Cape and
these last few nites were humid!! Hopefully the sun will make
an appearance soonn-Roland will probably be going to the beach
for the first time Thursday or Saturday-I hope he gets easier
to bathe-I think he thought I was trying to drowned him-it was
like he was fighting for his life. He's warmed up to Pat a
little more but Pats had to work and I've been around a lot
more. Pat wants Roland to love him so badly! I told him it'll
just take time. Have a great week and thanks for all your
help. Kellie
update 1/3/09:Hi Kerri, Rollie is awesome. I love him so much.
He brings so much joy and playfulness into my life. He is a
total lovebug. He sleeps in bed w/ me under the covers-he
likes to be under the covers. Maggie my 11 yr. old is not as
demonstrative as Rollie-she's always been a bit reserved. She
has had a chronic ear infection. The antibiotic isn't working
so she's going in for an ear culture this week to the vet. I
feel really bad for her. I clean it out everyday and put the
medicine in-which sucks-b/c she runs around rubbing her ear
and making little moaning noises. Hopefully the culture will
provide the vet w/ a more effective med. Your doggie Franklin
is adorable!! I hope you had a great x-mas. I had my Dad and
sister up from Fl-it was nice I hadn't seen my sister in 2
yrs. I've always loved dogs and have played w/ the idea of
learning dog training skills and opening my own shop. The shop
could offer dog walking services, clothes etc... I just don't
know Kerri. I think life is a lot happier and easier when you
love what you do for work but you have to be able to earn a
living too. Any news about the puppies? I haven't been on the
site in quite awhile this new job has kept me busy and comes
w/ a lot of paperwork that I didn't have to do in Boston. How
is school going for you? I think you were going for masters in
school psychologist? I was going to do that but my boss at the
time talked me out of it. He said Spec. Education was job
security. He was right about that. It's a lot easier acquiring
a SPED position than an ELA teacher. How is Cathie? I wanted
to ask Carlyn but she doesn't work at my dentist office
anymore. You're probably wondering how the 2 pooches get
along. Of course Rollies way more playful he has youth on his
side but they love each other. He can be a love hog. If Maggie
tries to get next to me he cuts her off at the pass and throws
himself down on his back, like "rub my belly!" So Maggie gets
rather exasperated w/ his antics to get all the love but she
loves him-he also has to get out the door first-it must be
this alpha dog thing but he always looks to Maggie before
trying anything new and I think he'd be lost w/out his big
sister. I've been thinking about you and Kathy. It is good to
hear from you. Give me a shout back if you have time and let
me know how you are. Take care & Happy New Year, |

Logan
now
Winston
Hi Kerrianne,
I would just like to update you on Mr. Winston. He is
adapting very well to his new home and to Maggi
 e.
Maggie is giving him the cold shoulder from time to time. He
likes to go out in the yard and run around. He has stopped
wearing the belly band since Saturday AM. He goes outside and
on the piddle pad. He is a very good boy so far. He has only
pooped, not urinated on the rug twice. I think he will be
easy to house train. He follows me around everywhere. We
crate him at night (for now) and he is fine, as long as he can
see "me". We tried putting him in the crate in my daughter's
room and he wasn't too happy. We let him on the bed this
morning for a few hours this AM and he did fine, Maggie was a
little offended because that is her territory (oh well). He
wouldn't eat his food after he saw what Maggie was eating, so
we are alternating, but he seems to like the rice/chicken and
hamburger mix. I will keep you posted. How is his brother
doing, has he been adopted yet? Thanks again Deborah
1/8/09:Hi Kerri, Happy New Year to you! Winston has found a
nice pace in our family. He is like Maggie's nuisance little
step brother. She has finally warmed up to him. He so
loves her, she just likes him, but I think they enjoy
each others company when alone, but vie for our attention over
each other when we are home. My husband who never wanted a
first dog and then a second, just loves Winston. He is always
saying what a good little boy he is. He's the son he never
had. He really is a character, that Winston. He wants to
rule the roost. It took a few months for him to train to go
outside, but he only has an accident occasionally, not too
often. He didn't bark in the beginning, now he has a big
mouth sometimes. How is his brother doing, I can't remember
which one was Logan and which was Kennedy? I now wish that
maybe I had taken them both and not split them up. Oh well
hind sight is 20-20. Thanks for asking about my mom. She
will be 88 this year and doing fantastic. Winston and her are
pals. Talk to you again. |

Adam
Good Morning Cathie,
Adam and Sasha are such good friends. They love to run in
and out of the house Jumping and playing. There are so
many cute moments I don't know where to begin. I am truly
blessed to have the both of them. Adam and Sasha for the
most part, a poo poo once and a while, have mastered house
training YAHOOOO.. Bedtime is so cute they both have to have
there teeth and hair brushed and if needed eye boogers
cleaned which neither is to thrilled. Then they both curl up
under my arm and between Erik and I ... off to sleep.Erik an
 d
Adam have really bonded, so he thinks, secretly he is my
boy. Erik calls every day to see how the kids are doing..I
love it when he asks this question. We have taken many
pictures and I will have to go have the picture card burned
to disk so I can send them as I haven't mastered the art
from my computer. Let me know when you want to come visit. I
hope you know that you and your husband are always welcome
to stop in and visit. Give me a call when your ready to come
as my computer is on the fritz and I will be without is for
the next 3-5 days. Do you j I was complaining that my back
hurt? Well I herniated a disc in my back and will be out of
work for the next 4 weeks boo hoo. This injury couldn't have
come at a better time. Happy Happy Happy I can stay home and
play with my babies. Please give me a call when ever you
wish. We look forward to seeing you.Good Morning Mommy,
My forever mom, dad and sister have
been keeping me real busy. I love the long walks in the
morning, running so fast around the yard that my sister can't
catch me (I think I am an antelope), and
snuggling with everyone at night. I really really love my
forever home and family they make me
feel loved and special. Mom wants me to tell you how grateful
she is that you brought us together because I bring so much
joy and happiness to the family's life. Mommy, I know that you
miss me dearly but, please know that the greatest gift you
gave to me was placing me in my forever home. I will always
love you for all the goodness you shared with me and for
providing me with a second chance at a great life and I mean
great life. Mom attached some pictures, she takes to many,
because I am so photogenic. The picture with me snuggled into
mom's bathrobe is one of my favorites. I love moms red
bathrobe so much that I have claimed it for my own. I have
also claimed Daddy's lap for my own because us guys have to
stick together. But, secretly mom's number one. Well, I gotta go because we are going for a hike.
Love Adam, Sasha, Mom and Dad |

Mystic Rose
Hi Cathie  Thought you would like to know that Margaret and Rose adore one another and Rose looks great - she is really getting used to being around people and is completely housetrained. She went to the groomers today for the first time - Margaret didn't want to rush her. Then she dropped by my house for a "photo shoot" so we could send you some pictures.
Hi Kerri
Margaret and Rose are doing great. Rose has become a real dog - loves the outdoors, trying to catch squirrels, birds, etc. She gets a walk on the beach every morning and spent a week on Margaret's island this summer. She has become a bit more outgoing, but is devoted mostly to Margaret, which is great. Thanks again for a great match - Rose has Margaret wrapped around her little paw!
Thanks again.
friend of Margaret Mitchell
Update 1/05/09:Hi Kerri Your baby is adorable - I will pass the
picture on to Margaret. Rose is doing wonderfully - she has
become a real dog, chasing squirrels, etc. She has a
boyfriend named Sailor - a 4 pound Yorkie who spent the summer
at Mystic Seaport. She is the adopted mascot of our Seaport
volunteer group, and the love of Margaret's life. Thanks
again for making it all possible. I do check your site now and
then and keep Margaret informed, but she is a one dog woman, I
believe. Best to all of you in the New Year, |

Divot
Hello,
Thank you, that is so nice! I wanted to give you an update on
how well he is doing! He has not had a single mistake and is
socializing beautifully with everyone he meets. He is a
little tentative with the other dogs, but they are all so much
bigger than he is! He was funny with seeing the Mastiff
through the fence, he stood his ground and told Buddy quite a
story! He is getting along well with the cats. They
are getting used to him as well. It has been two years since
we had a dog in the house, so I don't know how much they
remember. He loves Douglas, our next door neighbor. We
just came in from playing in the back yard with him. Douglas
gets down and rolls around in the grass with him and Divot
jumps over him. It looks as if he is on springs! He even
occupies himself by throwing his stuffed animals up in the air
and tries to catch them. The more you laugh watching him, the
longer he does it, He and Garry are having some nice long
walks (2 miles) and I think the "big guy" wears out before the
little guy! He has been to Garry's office and met everyone
there. I could only take the "proud parent" pictures, but
everyone I work with loves him! I will definitely send
pictures to you for the website! I will keep you posted and we
will definitely get together soon, so you can see him.
HI Kerri,

Sally now Caleigh
Hi Cathie,
Sorry it has taken
 so
long to email you. It seems like I never get a turn to use
the computer at home!!!!! Eddie was not happy that I hadn't
emailed you yet. Caleigh is just such a sweetheart! She is so
cuddly and sweet. I can't imagine not having her as part of
our family. It took about a week for her to warm up to Frank
but they are best buds now! She gets very excited when he
comes home from work. Sometimes she gets so excited, she
piddles a bit. She started out sleeping in her bed right next
to ours but each night she would wake up and go over to
Frank's side and he would lift her up into our bed. Now, she
just goes to bed with us and cuddles up between us. She is
such a love!
Yesterday was her first trip to
the beach! We had so much fun! She met so many four legged
friends! We will have to get together with your dogs and
have a play date. I'm not real good at downloading pictures
so I'll have to wait for one of the kids to help me with it.

Princess
Hi Cathie,
I just wanted to give you an update about Princess. She has been doing very well adjusting to us (and vice versa). The first few hours, I am pretty sure she was checking to see if you were coming back. We took her out often, gave her time to investigate all around the house, gave her treats and carrot, cheerios... Consequently, with all the new changes, she didn't seem to want her supper. Understandable though. After awhile, we set up her little bed with the snuggly and she took a nice nap. We went out and bought her a crate which she likes too. Her bed is in the family room where we spend a lot of time, and the crate is in the kitchen, another place we always seem to be. So she has a choice where she wants to rest but can still be where we are too. This AM she barked a little at Jim, but hasn't  barked
since then. I think she was just happy to see someone. She did
eat her breakfast, went out in the yard. Haven't had any
accidents or even used the pad. She is very calm and loving.
She loves the attention (move over Emily) and will curl up on
a pillow if we are sitting on the floor. We are are working on
"sit." I am sure it won't take long. I will be getting in
touch with the Vet this week to get her paw pads groomed. She
has already been the topic in one of the children's story for
church! OH! She finally noticed the bunny and has actually
gotten to smell her nose to nose. Still no barking! I will let
you know how this develops... Anyway, she has already given
us a lot of joy. We hope to give her everything she needs and
then some. Just know that she is already loved and a part of
the family. Thank you for all that you have done to keep her
healthy and happy. It is a difficult job that you do, but only
a person with a lot of compassion and love can do it. Best of
luck to you and all little yorkies in need of homes. We will
keep in touch. The Tilbe Family |

Drew
Hi Kerri,
Drew is still on my lap. We thought it would take days or a
week. You left and it was no time he fit right in. He likes
to sleep touching my back or shoulder. He will not move. I
move him a little and he goes right back. Friday we went to
get the sticker for my car. They loved him. I gave that man
the e-mail address. My grandson was finishing the last 2
baseball games and his father had the coach game. Of course
my Drew was at all of them and boy does he get attention. I
am so in love I can't tell you. Well I really can't thank
you enough for Drew. He is wonderful and I love to spoil
him. Even my husband is in love. If you are ever in the area
come by to see us. Drew's forever family

Mia Ellen,
Likewise, we enjoyed meeting you and Joan. We will enjoy
keeping in touch and bringing Mia to see you from time to
time. We are love drunk here!!!! Mia is simply precious
beyond words. She is such a good girl that I cannot imagine
anyone giving her up -- unless they knew how terrific she is
and felt badly about not spending enough time with her. She
has an energy level that seems to fit us really well. Last
night she whined for about 10 minutes after we went to bed
and again for about 10 minutes in the middle of the night.
I had quiet mu
 sic
on for her so don't know if that helped to sooth her. She
has been really good about using paper and going outside to
relieve herself.. She has a delightful personality. We are
feeling very, very lucky.
Thank you for sending the gardening websites. I love to
garden, but do not like to spend a fortune doing so. Rylee
enjoys gardening as well, and is a huge help to me. Kevin
is all boy!!! He is a good boy who loves a good time, is
curious, likes to experiment, and struggles with the balance
between being what boys (and men) expect of each other and
being sensitive. We had to go out for a bit today and could
not bring Mia. His brow was furrowed and he looked like he
lost his last friend. I asked him what was wrong and he
said he was worried that she would be lonely and was eager
to get back home to her. We have attached a photo of the
kids with Mia. Thank you for everything. I will see you
when the food you ordered for me arrives. Catherine

Emma Hello Cathie,
Emma is Hope you are enjoying the weekend. UPDATE:
How are
you? How did the Yorkie gathering go? Great, I hope. Wish
I could have been
there. Next year, I hope J We are all doing fine! Still
cleaning up the mess, after the storm, but gaining on it.
Branches are everywhere. I am actually picking them up by
hand and not raking them, because there are just too many of
them. Emma is doing great. We just love her. I have never
seen a dog wag their tai
Take care, Bobbie Update 12/31/09 Hi Cathie, I just took a moment to download my camera and came across a couple photos of Emma Lou and Farley. I thought you would like to see them. These two ABSOLUTELY LOVE one another. They are the best of buds. I hope to get them on film, at some point. I love it when they give each other kisses and they are wagging their tails a hundred miles an hour! Hope you are having a good weekend. I have to go out and shovel now. We ended up with 2 feet of snow from this storm. I always shovel paths for my little ones. Take care and hugs, Bobbie J |

Dixie Dixie is a "dream come true." She is as cute as a button and sweet as can be. She loves her new home. I am spoiling her rotten and enjoying every minute of it. There are so many cute sweaters and coats for dogs. Dixie was well trained when I received her and she is smart enough to give me a signal when she needs to go out. She loves to play fetch and this is winter - wait until summer! My daughter brings her dog over and walks the two of them Dixie loves the company. She is great with people, children and other dogs. She loves to be picked up and sits on my lap at any chance she gets. I am very happy with Dixie the match was perfect. Thank you for everything. Peggy O'Connor |

SHELBY
Hi Kerri,
She was not a
happy camper to go out during the storm. I had to carry her
down the stairs and wait with her while she did her business.
I was so glad that I had bought her a warm coat and a
raincoat. You know how territorial she is over her bed, well
she has become territoria
 l
over her corner of the sofa as well as the bed. She also
thinks she owns the neighborhood as well as her own space
outside. My neighbor, directly in back of me, came out of his
door and she went crazy barking and showing her teeth. I told
him to come over and as soon as she knew he was not a threat
she would shower him with kisses. He looked a little
apprehensive but came over anyway and, of course, Shelby put
on her charm. She now has another person who is in love with
her.
She is here
sitting on my lap while I am composing this email. She has
been doing walking exercise with me in the house. She keeps
up for about 5 laps around the house then jumps up on the sofa
and watches me as I continue. It appears to me that she is
thinking "are you crazy". I keep her moving as much as
possible. She sure is laid back. Wait until the weather
breaks and she finds out what I have in store for her. I am
sure she will do fine.
Kerri, I am so
happy to have her as my pet and love her with all my heart.
Thank you for bringing her to me. Talk to you soon.
Joan Almeida Shelby was first adopted through Craigslist and was not a suitable match for her adoptive home. they then surrendered her to Yorkies Inc so we could find that perfect match. |

RUBY
1/20/2007: Hi Kerri,
Ruby had 2 great nights. She slept with Sophie in the doggie
bed together and not a peep out of either one until about
5:15am. They heard my alarm go off so they start to yip just
a little. She's using the pe
Valerie
2/9/2007: Hi Kerri,
It's so great to see them together. Sophie can be aloof,
but Ruby goes right up to her and starts to play. Sophie
can't help herself and she starts right in. They are
getting along just fine. We are so in love with Ruby. We
took a road trip last week to Ohio, Ruby was a little
trooper, 10 hours in a car one way. Every rest stop she
got out of the car in the cold and peed' immediately. We
had a few accidents but were prepared. She loved my
daughters kids and they loved her. We stayed at a
Residence Inn, pets invited. The staff loved both dogs.
I really adore her. Thanks for keeping in touch.

It's our 1 week anniversary and yet it
seems like she's always been here. jim couldn't believe it's
been only a week either because she's so well adjusted! her
bow has been out for 2 days because they were playing so
roughly and her new ones haven't come yet. i'll get pix to
you- i'm going to get a new digital camera because my other

Solange now Sasha Good evening Cathie,
I can't
thank you enough for my sweet furbaby. Solange and I have
had a whirlwind of a day. First we had her welcome home
party where she met Her new daddy, neighbors, sister
and grandpa. It took about 10 seconds for Solange to claim
her space, which is everywhere, in the house. After our
party we took a ride to the vet to meet the staff and Dr.
Grochect. I bet I don't have to tell you who the new
supersta
 r of salmon brook vet is. SOLANGE!!!. Dr. Grochect
fell in love with me immediately I think it was because I
gave him a kiss. When we finished at the vet, we took a ride
to horses and hounds where mommy picked up my food, a
exercise pen and I picked out a new pink bed. Our fun didn't
stop there. Mommy had to go to her doctor and pick up her
prescription so, I tagged along and stole the limelight.
After that, mommy took me to the store to buy some new
clothes. I got a UCONN Huskeys sweater I don't know who they
are but mom says I will be a big hit with the boys if I wear
it. I guess I'll have to take her word for that. Mom did
insist that I pick up a few fashion clothes. Oh boy did we
have fun. I got a princess dress, a rain coat, a sweater
that has tassels, a sunshine tshirt, a red sweat shirt and a
fashion coat. I am not sure what I am going to wear for our
play date on the 29th. I guess I will have to look through
my wardrobe and decide. Well I am so tired and I have a play
date tomorrow with Colby who bought me lots of PRESENTS so I
have to go to sleep. I think mom is a little tired
too. Thank you mommy for introducing me to my new mommy
Barbara. I will forever be grateful.
Love
Solange and Mom |

Hillary now Molly
Rita & Walter with Hilary now Molly
Update: 1/4/09: Oh what a sweet little thing....at least she is trying to play :-) I love her so much....she
was so lovable.... my goddaughter still talks about her... I will have to send her the pictures of her....She
still doesn't really know how to play but she try's real hard. She just loves everybody.
She loves to eat too! :}
Any time you would like to visit her I know my parents would love to show her off. The pictures don't do
her justice. Yes it was a patella issue but everything looks great since the surgery. Also, she is 99.99% house
broken and even if she never was my parents wouldn't care, they love her no matter
what she can or can't due. |
Hi
Cathie, it's me, Pogo. They seem to call me Teddy Bear these
days, and I do like it! I just wanted to let you know that I am
SOOOOO happy with my new family. At first I wasn't sure if my
older sister, Bella, was going to like me, but she sure has
warmed up to me now. We get to go to all kinds of places. She
even lets me ride along in her carrier with her. Mom is happy
that Bella and I are both little, because we fit into a single
carrier! Mommy always warms my blanket in the dryer before I go
to bed. I sleep in a little kennel, right next to her, so I
won't fall off the bed. Mommy says I snore a lot. Although,
sometimes she lets me cuddle with her until she shuts off the
TV. I really like that part of the night! When I wake up is most
certainly one of the best times of the day. Not only do I get a
good long drink, but I get a nice breakfast that I eat in about
2 seconds flat! Mom calls me a little piglet. I can't wait to
see you guys in the spring. I miss you, and will never forget
what you did for me. I will always love you.
Inc,
ry
well. He loves the camera, and our granddaughter is thrilled
that she will have pictures to take to school of with herself
and her new "niece". Just one quick question regarding bowel
habits, is this usually once a day or twice????? We just
waited to make sure he stays "regular". It is so cute that way
he barks at his reflection in the glass of the doors of the
sliders. He has adopted one side of the couch and has brought
his toys, including the cat toys they accumulated for him next
to his bed! Thank you so much for the wonderful little man
that you brought to us! He is such a
doing great, still a little timid, but improving bit by bit.
Today, up here in the North Country, it was absolutely
gorgeous. It was in the 70’s…hard to believe that this past
Monday was a Northeaster!!! My husband and I took a moment to
enjoy the weather, and so didn’t the girls. I have attached a
photo of Emma and Moxie, with me. I will not be able to make
the gathering, this time around. We had a lot of damage to
our home and property…so we are concentrating on getting
things back in order. I wanted to meet you and all the other
Yorkie people and their Yorkies, but this has to come first. 
l as much as Emmy. She wags it so
much I think she is going to lift off the ground like a
helicopter…we just adore her! She comes to me now, and I
have her
walking beside me, off leash in the yard! She is
amazing. She is getting better on her little accidents in
the house, too. You were right…she does think my scatter
rugs are big pee pee pads! Like I said, she is getting
better on that home front though and we are happy about
that. check your website periodically, and I happened to
notice Tira on it this morning. If you can’t find the
perfect home for her, I would be interested in adopting
her. Moxie and Emmy are doing great together, and I know
one more wouldn’t be a problem. Keep me in mind for Tira,
if you do not have any luck finding her a home.
ute joy, she is fitting in well, cannot
believe it has been a week already, it seems like she has
been with us forever. She loves roaming our yard and climbing, chasing the ducks, birds, cats etc... She is
fascinated by the squirrels in the yard, she lays on my
mom's bed and jumps down runs into the office and jumps up
on my chair to look at the squirrels at the bird feeders
barking her little head off... she is comfortable here. I
could picture her any other place but my home. My mom is so
happy that Maddie adopted her! I tried to take some pictures
with my husbands camera but they were too dark, will try
again, she went to the groomer with Mandy yesterday and is
prim and she knows it! I will keep in touch, did not
want to bother you too much,
He is
loving toys!!! But not loving outside yet. I don't
think he knows what to make of outside. He seems to be
happy once he is on the walk, but he never wants to go out
the door. The walk seems to help get some bathroom
action outside.He's so
well behaved and cute. He loves sleeping on a lap or
curled up next to you, he is very loving. Sunday he
started allowing us to rub his belly while he was on his
back. Before that he didn't like being in that position.
He's eating more food everyday, but doesn't touch the Wee
Bits. I guess the flavor isn't his favorite. We are
hoping to see some weight gain soon. 
ing
just fine. We had the dog reunion yesterday with Tara and
Dixie. How cute to see the first reaction. Tara
immediately knew Dixie and Dixie took a few minutes, but boy
when she realized who it was she kissed and kissed her.
Dixie was so happy. 
e
pad and the rug. Good and not so good, we keep taking her
out with Sophie. She'll get it. Ruby has also conquered the
stairs. Partly because she doesn't like the cold and worked
it out, how do I get inside? Hmmm, up the stairs! She is a
love, we all adore her. Frank and Rachel think she is so
sweet. She is a contrast to Sophie. All is not a love fest
with Sophie, she's jealous. When she behaves badly we scoop
her up with a NO and put her in the kennel until she yips
and then we take her out. Sophie will catch on to her bad
behavior and stop. Ruby shies away until Sophie calms down.
They a sniffing at each other. They will figure it out. WE
all can't imagine life without Ruby. Thank you again. We
will keep in touch. I think I've been bitten by the Yorkie
bug!
other
day and had to do 35mm because the batteries were already
dead. i replaced 2 weeks prior and hadn't even used the camera
& it takes too much time to change 6. i'll have the other
handy and can get better pix. she is soooo easy- and sweet
and loving. she is the "toy" girls and gets them going with
the toys. she also sleeps with at least 2 in her bed! see, if
i had the camera yesterday you'd have a cute shot of them
playing tug of war with the rope fish you sent. all 3 were
playing today- i'm thrilled to see them play. how's henry
doing? we're so pulling for the little bug and hope the egg
whites are going well. murphy started throwing up the cal
nat so we're thinking of putting him on the wee bits too.
slowly but he already snags a fair share. the biljac was
getting him fat and not staying with him long enough. we'll
see how this goes but since the girls are all doing so well he
may have better luck on it. I've not been happy with cal nat
since they opened their own factory- less regulation. lee and
cadie stopped eating it (that is after lee got sick and i
found out why). i think their extrusion process fills it full
of air- makes it more profitable!
i'll get pics to you- she is soo pretty but looks pretty messy
today after playing for 2 days. she's so house trained too-
we're amazed! Thank you again for letting us adopt her! 
and
of course Sasha. Adam has Finlay come into his own and
asserts himself regularly. One of my favorite times
with Adam and Sasha is bedtime. They both jump on me
and cover me with kisses,paw at my face and then
we snuggle together till we fall asleep. Please keep
in touch.
