A site for Yorkies and the humans who love them
If you missed last week’s article where I shared more letters from readers; here is the link. Check it out.
We’ve also all read stories about pets and about some of the incredible things dogs will do. Television shows like “Lassie” came about for a reason. Dogs are definitely intelligent! When people say they love the breed of dog they have and would never get another, I don’t know. I love my Yorkie, but that doesn’t mean I won’t someday get a lab maybe or some other kind of big dog to be his sibling. Mason seriously likes and trusts immediately every Labrador he meets, and I think it may be because their laidbackness balances out his alwaysreadytogoness.
I enjoy the letters I have been receiving from readers, mostly dog owners, not necessarily Yorkies either. Here are some of the readers who have sent in stories about their pets to me.

My sister had a Mastiff once, the biggest and yet gentlest dog she has ever owned, and poor Hazy died at the age of only seven years. The cat mourned for days (which I understand is a long time for a cat}, because Hazy was the gentlest playmate that cat had! I know I am generalizing about things I could be more specific about if I got the facts, but I know in my experience the biggest dogs have often been the easiest to get along with. Big ol’ labs and retrievers let the house’s toddlers pull their manes and crawl all over them, using them as horses or trucks or tractors or punching bags!
I am so proud of her! She is not only the best veterinarian I know in terms of not only proper care but also with her bedside manner, which is very important when you have a little animal quivering in fear before a needle or worse, a thermometer! Dr. Potosky is also the authority I refer to when I give you guys information about dogs in general or Yorkies, especially my Yorkie, in particular. I know it’s the year 2019 now, but these are the most recent awards in this and other categories of exceptional performance by businesses and individuals in Lee County, North Carolina, where I live.
This is the story of how I and my Yorkie, Mason, found one another. It’s a long story, as most stories are when you fill in the details. But let’s just cut to the chase and look at the condensed version.
Well, they can, but the question is should they? We know a grape is deadly for your dog, as is its dried version, the raisin, but what about grapefruit and other citrus fruits?
This is a new and exciting recipe, if I can judge by my dog’s enthusiasm when he ate it.! In fact, I actually tasted it myself because I thought it must be really tasty, and it tasted a little like bread flavored with tuna; I couldn’t really taste the cheese. If you want to add more cheese for your dog, you might throw in a little more Parmesan or even melt American or cheddar on top; whatever your dog likes. My dog has a sensitive stomach, so I try not to overdo the richness of his food. I don’t ever want to see pancreatitis in my house again!
This takes a little more time than the apple carrot frozen treats, but it’s pretty simple. You’ll probably need to double the recipe if your dog is bigger than mine (9 pounds and a few ounces) or if you want more or bigger treats. With this recipe I ended up with 45 treats, approximately 1” x 1” x ½.”
