Yorkshire Terrier Rescue

The Yorkshire Terrier National Rescue Inc. was founded in 1997.

"We are dedicated to finding the best possible homes for

Yorkshire Terriers in our care, regardless of age, sight, hearing or

other handicaps. Everyday we help local pounds and other types

of shelters find Yorkies in need of our help in relocating

homeless and abandoned pets."

This is a wonderful organization!

Stop by and see their website and help any way you can!

They have representation in most states, but not all.

They have many Yorkies that need homes

and money to pay for operations.

"Please consider joining our organization as a volunteer.

You can help by rescuing, transporting, and

fostering these unfortunate little dogs.

No matter how small or how large your contribution of time,

love, or money – you can make the difference in

whether a dog lives or dies. Please help us save these
Yorkies. If you cannot foster or transport a rescue,

we can use your skills in other ways.

We need volunteers to craft items to raise money for

the medical expenses of our dogs, or donate computer skills

to help make our organization more efficient, or simply help

us by spreading the word about puppy mills and our organization.

Please go to our website at www.YorkieRescue.com

and fill out a volunteer application today. "

it's very easy for us to run and fly through the air!

Yorkie Hero - Yorkie Doodle Dandy Book

A REAL HERO!

This week, my daddy read me the best story!

It's called, "Yorkie Doodle Dandy!"

It's about a miniature Yorkshire Terrier that

was a hero during World War II.

Normally, I don't care for war stories and war movies.

But this was really good!

FOUND IN THE JUNGLES OF NEW GUINEA IN 1944,

SMOKY, a four-pound Yorkie, was bought by Bill Wynne for

$6.44 American. He taught her many tricks, and she entertained

troops in camps and hospitals from Australia to Korea.

It was not long before she became a hero . . .

I don't want to give away too much, but

it's a wonderful story for any animal lover.

And you can buy it direct for $12 and get a copy

personally signed! And it's available through

our Amazon link for about $11.

Yorkie Doodle Dandy is not just another story of a man and his dog.

It is a real life story of a miracle and what is meant to be will be.

You will laugh and you will cry.

Enjoy.

Nashville Yorkie saga continues

In loving memory of Gizmo

I just HATE to report sad stories,

because this blog is about the good, the happy, the fun, the love...

not the sad and bad.

However, there's a reason for sharing this story.

In Spring 2004, in Nashville, a

man was been charged with killing his neighbor's 2-pound

miniature Yorkshire terrier by place-kicking it into

the air like a football.

Chad Daniel Crawford, 23, was booked on charges

of cruelty to animals and felony vandalism.

He was freed after posting $25,000 bond.
Jelani Lewis and Jessica McKenzie said they were shocked

and outraged by the death of their 17-year-old dog, Gizmo.
Lewis was on the grounds of his apartment complex Tuesday when he

said he saw one of three men holding the dog like a football.
``The other one backed up and kicked him like a place-kicker,''

said Lewis, who couldn't get there fast enough to save his pet.

Gizmo flew through the air in a high arc, hit the pavement and

rolled a few feet beneath a parked car.

The dog was dead when he hit the ground and the men

were laughing, Lewis said.

``I didn't believe that they kicked my dog, Lewis told

The Tennessean newspaper. ``When I saw him kick it,

I was thinking, maybe for a second, 'No, that isn't Gizmo.'

Lewis said he chased the men and caught Crawford, then made

him pick up Gizmo's body and take it upstairs to McKenzie.
Lewis said he held Crawford until police arrived.

Michael Davis was also charged in the incident.

This past fall, the two men who made world news headlines

two years ago, settled a lawsuit brought by the dog's owners.
Chad Crawford, 26, and Michael Davis, 23, settled the suit

for an undisclosed amount, a Nashville lawyer said.

The pair also face animal cruelty charges in the incident

and are to be tried in Nashville in February.

Both have pleaded not guilty.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!

THERE ARE WITNESSES, HELLO!

The reason for sharing this story is to

ask for everyone's help!

There is an online petition you can all sign.

The petition is to demand justice. 5,000 signatures are

needed to present it to the Attorney General.

PLEASE STOP BY AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT.

Pet's are like children. We love unconditionally.

We do not know hate or prejudice.

Please help protect us!

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!
