Yorkshire Terrier (Listen while you read)
Oh, how I would love to be strong;
to see life through a strong heart;
to be merry and gay and dally all day, singing and happy in song.
Oh, yes, my dear friends; to be strong and to see life through a strong heart; wouldn’t we all like to be this way!
-
Alas, for some this is not possible.
Many have not the capacity for such bravery.
Indeed, some sit by the roadside and watch. Others walk along the road, whilst some run.
Each to his own, as the saying goes. Each to his own, for one way does not suit all.
And this is what the Yorkshire Terrier personality needs to remember as it sits, walks and runs along the road.
Indeed, the road for the Yorkshire Terrier will have ‘many a turn’. One day sitting, one day walking, one day running; all quite natural and good for this personality type.
Yes, my friends, it is better to learn this lesson early, should you be attracted to this precious pooch.
Chapters change, and move with the time.
You would do well to apply this saying to yourself…
“I am what I am; unlike any other”.
This will allow you to view the world in your way, remembering that “to each his own” holds much sway.

/ January 29, 2013You are awesome! I turned up the volume and put my Yorkie in my lap so that she could hear your reflection. She was impressed… and then jumped down, ran around the room and jumped back up, as though she wanted to show you her energy! Wonderful, wonderful!

/ January 29, 2013As always great advice. This little fellow is beautiful. So well groomed, his fur glows.
carolynpageabc
/ January 29, 2013Isn’t it just the cutest thing on four legs…
silentlyheardonce
/ January 29, 2013I think the tiny dogs are cute. But for me I prefer larger dogs. Spaniels and bigger.
carolynpageabc
/ January 29, 2013Ahh, Kim… They sure have the capacity to melt our hearts.. that is for sure…!
silentlyheardonce
/ January 29, 2013Yes they do.
rebecca2000

/ January 29, 2013Not only is the post lovely…but you showcased a Yorkie?! Oh my be still my heart!
carolynpageabc
/ January 29, 2013And what a very cute Yorkie she is….!
So glad you enjoyed.
Smaktakula
/ January 29, 2013They’re cuties for sure–but YIP YIP YIP!
carolynpageabc
/ January 29, 2013My little ‘Sweetie’ was a little bit yippy when she came to us… I’ve taught her to ‘sit’ when the yip presents. She now has the ‘yip’ under control…! However, her little front legs jiggle about as the yip sits in her throat. Guess it has to come out from somewhere…! Haha…

/ January 29, 2013As our old friend Popeye said…. “I yam what I yam, and that’s all what I yam… I’m Popeye the sailor man.”…. but he really meant to say, “I’m a Yorkie!”….. And, no, I don’t know what that means….
carolynpageabc
/ January 29, 2013Well said, my dear Ned; well said…
Popeye was right. Maybe he knew a Yorkie or two..!
melouisef
/ January 29, 2013Such cute dogs but heavy maintenance…
carolynpageabc
/ January 29, 2013They certainly love attention; that is very true indeed…

For those with the time, they can be a marvelous companion….
Our little ‘Sweetie’ is part long haired Chihuahua and part Pomeranian. She also loves and seeks our company, is quite ‘high’ maintenance too; but, what the heck; she’s adorable…!
melouisef
/ February 2, 2013I actually would love one to be honest but waht to do when you go away?
And then there are 4 other dogs here too…
68ghia
/ January 29, 2013They’re such cute little dogs. Although hellishly overpriced – the day I pay more than 2K for something the size of my foot is the day I have too much money!!
Still, a cute little thing to cuddle up with at night
carolynpageabc
/ January 29, 2013Here in Australia they range from around $500 to $600US (average)..
and they wouldn’t take up a lot of space…
They are tiny, to be sure… However, that means they would cost very little to feed… (Said with tongue in cheek)
Love your last line; you softie you…!
Maxima

/ January 29, 2013You are absolutely right..each one is unique..and should use talent to the best of capabilities..It is cute indeed..but will watch it from some distance:)
carolynpageabc
/ January 29, 2013Very good insight, Padmini…. as is your way..!
Indeed it is very cute..! I know that if you were in close contact with this little waif, it would melt your heart…!

I have a Golden Retriever — she is terrified of Yorkies!
carolynpageabc

carolynpageabc
/ January 30, 2013Indeed, Resa; they certainly are sweeties… I’m very attracted too. In fact, I’ve had a hankering for another puppy/dog for some time now. Ah well, we’ll see what fate has in store…!
Resa McConaghy

Mark Armstrong
/ January 31, 2013I’ve studied that terrier picture, and come to a conclusion: I should grow my eyebrows longer. It produces a kind of regal look that would suit me quite well, I think… : P
Your counsel is most wise, my dear Carolyn. You are truly unlike any other, and for that we can all be grateful. I know I am… : )
carolynpageabc
/ January 31, 2013Indeed, Mark…! A regal look indeed. However, as I study your handsome pic I have to disagree… There could be nothing that could be done to enhance your glorious image; it is already beyond ‘regal’; to be sure…
The Hook
/ February 4, 2013The pic alone was beyond cute! Nic work as always!
carolynpageabc
/ February 4, 2013It’s the cutest little bundle; to be sure…
