Small in size but big in personality, the Yorkshire Terrier makes a feisty but loving companion.
The most popular toy dog breed in the U.S., the “Yorkie” has won many fans with his devotion to his owners, his elegant looks, and his suitability to apartment living.
It’s been often said that dogs are the only creatures on earth that love you more than they love themselves. Well, Yorkshire Terriers are no exception!
But sometimes, we take our furry friends and wonderful companions for granted. There are important life lessons that are sometimes easy to forget in our hectic lives, that all Yorkie owners must never forget.
If we want to pay back the favor and give them the best life possible, these 20 important reminders should serve you well as awesome Yorkie owners. The last one (#20) brought me to tears…
Check out the 20 Things All Yorkie Owners Must Never Forget on the next page:

Our Lucy was a loyal, understanding, gentle friend, who I miss every day since we lost her a year ago yesterday, she did us proud in her 12 years and was devastated when she took her last breath. Reading the last one I know she loved us and knew she was loved too xx

:'( My baby’s my life, I promised her the world and that i’d never abandon her from day 1. She’s been with me, at my side through good and bad times. She’s 10 now and my promise to her is as true as it’s always been, i’m with her every step of the way. She makes my heart burst with love.

#20 made me cry. I’ve only had my little Abbey for 18 months but, I swear….IDK what I’ll do if or when something happens to her. She has been my life since I got her. I Never knew I could love a non human as much as I do her. She has brought more joy to my life & heart than I can put into words. Pat Campbell, it took me 3 attempts to read your post, the 1st sentence made me cry so hard I couldn’t see. Can’t imagine your pain. And, I don’t think you’re nuts. I totally baby & pamper my Abbey. Anyone who doesn’t have a yorkie baby just doesn’t get it. My little girl has such a personality, she’s practically human.

Victoria Tucker, same with my Abbey. And, to Pat Campbell, I’m afraid of big dogs getting Abbey too but, Abbey’s so little that even a normal size yorkie is a big dog compared to her.

Spoiled doesn’t cover it for my Abbey either. Her pic is a few comments up from here

My Abbey is very photogenic too. I have people stop me all the time for 2 reasons….they want to take her pic or get me to take a pic of them with her (seriously, they do) And/Or they want to talk about her & find out if she’s in commercials/movies/TV shows.
Debbie Mc

Just reading the last part of your comment made me cry (again). Im totally heartbroken for everyone who’s lost their baby
Debbie Mc

My little girl has brought me tons of joy also. Her name is Abbey & actually, that’s what her name means….Joy/to bring joy.
Debbie Mc

That happened to my neice. Lily ran off, not to be seen since. The/her kids are still upset & hoping she’ll come back home. It’s been a yr & a half
