Yorkie Mom Dies After Giving Birth....

It's a dog's life for Jackie Irvine but she's loving every minute of it, playing mum to a litter of puppies whose mother died eight days after giving birth.



Jackie bottle feeds the tiny three-week-old Yorkshire Terrier pups six times a day, acting as their surrogate mother, after seven-year-old Amber died.She said: "When Amber died it was such a shock – even when I picked her up I didn't think she was dead because she was still hot and her eyes were open."



But when you are left with five little faces looking up at you, you just have to take over."I was feeding them through a syringe but I got a bottle from the vet with a teet on it and we feed them with that now."It's quite humorous to see them because as they get bigger, they want more.



"They feed six times a day, I am up through the night feeding them and if I go out it's not for more than an hour-and-a-half."Jacie said she will probably keep one of the pups – which have been named Lucky, Fudge, Madonna, Robert the Bruce and Lulu – and give the others away once they are six- or seven-weeks-old.



Lucky was given her name because she was the first puppy to be born and was cold and lifeless, but she and her husband Bill managed to revive her.

Manuel Almunia talks Miniature Yorkie for a Walk




A man and his little dog!
With a successful job in one of Europe's biggest football teams and a stunning wife on his arm, Manuel Almunia clearly doesn't feel insecure about his masculinity.


Away from the macho world of the football pitch, the Arsenal goalkeeper certainly looked comfortable strolling down the street walking his new puppy.


There was no prizes for guessing the sex of the Almunias' young Yorkshire Terrier, who was dressed in a pink coat and matching lead.


Looking rather flamboyant in a red, blue and white quilted jacket and jeans, the couple was
Spotted near their home in Abbots Langley, Herts, the couple took their puppy out for a walk while popping out for a few groceries.

Male Yorkies vs. Female Yorkies








A NEW ARRIVAL!

We're getting a new Yorkie in our family! After much hunting this weekend, I think we have found a very nice male to bring into our home!

There is much debate about Male Yorkies vs. Female Yorkies an I found this good information online....let me know if you agree....







Over at Elvis Yorkies, they said, " Many people feel that female yorkies make better pets than male yorkies. This conclusion is usually based upon inaccurate information. In discussing these differences we will be speaking in terms of generalizations. These generalizations of female and male yorkies traits are like that of generalizations of female and male human traits. For every generalization there are always exceptions.

Female yorkies are sweeter and more affectionate that male yorkies.

Our experience is that male yorkies are usually more affectionate, exuberant, and attentive as compared to females. They seek your attention and are very attached to their people. They also tend to be more steadfast, reliable, and less moody. They are more outgoing, more accepting of other pets, and take quicker to children. When we have company we invariably have to put the females in another room until the company leaves. The female may be less likely to wage a dominance battle with you, but she can be cunning and resourceful in getting her own way. She is much more prone to mood swings. Most females will usually come to you for attention, but as soon as she has had enough, she will move away. Males are always waiting for your attention and close by.


Female yorkies are more docile as compared to male yorkies.

In the dog pack framework, females usually rule the roost. Therefore they determine pecking order, and compete to maintain and/or alter that order. The females are, as a result, more independent, stubborn, and territorial than their male counterparts. Most fights will usually break out between two females.

Female yorkies are easier to train than male yorkies.

Because female yorkies are, more independent, stubborn, territorial and male yorkies are easily motivated by praise, and are very eager to please, training a male can be easier than training a female. However, males can be easily distracted during training, as they just want to get to playtime!"


What do you think? Agree or Disagree?

Yorkie Readers and Fans Around The World







I just have to give a big shout out to all my readers and fans from around the world! - With THANKSGIVING right around the corner next week, I have a lot to be thankful for. As some of you know, I went in for a second cataracts surgery. (I had one done last year, and it was not 100% successful but I can still see , it's just a little blurry eyed...) Unfortunately, this one was not 100% successful either. They could not get the lens on my eye properly. So now I am blurry eyed in both eyes! - But I am thankful I am not totally blind. I still get around pretty good for an old gal of 13!





But I am thankful for my life, my family, and my friends.
These photos were sent in by some readers!
Thanks for sharing those and thanks for readng my little blog!

Coco Chanel's Baby Photo

A reader in Boston wrote in and asked:
"Dear Ms. Chanel, I just found your blog and love it!
Tell us more about you! Can we see your baby picture?"
This is my baby picture.....I was the runt of 8 children!
2 of my siblings did not survive unfortunately.
And my poor birth mother was exhausted after 5 weeks
and hard time feeding all of us, so we were
given up for adoption early. This photo was at 6weeks,
in my new home. I was born in Flushing, Michigan,
but then my adoptive parents took me to Oakland County,
outside of Metropolitan Detroit. Now I jet-set back
and fourth between Michigan and Chicago!
Thanks for reading!
