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:

Cooper is 1.5 and his liver shunt was found back in November. After changing his diet (which I know won’t fix the shunt) he is doing much better– you wouldn’t guess he’s sick. But before I really knew what was going on I was so worried I was going to lose him. It’s amazing how quickly you get attached– they truly are family. And I believe you can never be “too close” to your dog. It isn’t “just a dog” as some people think

These little creatures love you more than they love themselves. I see the purest love in my Happy’s eyes. When he sits on my lap and then looks up to my eyes, my heart actually melts. <3

Wow! You are blessed! I just lost my sweet little girl 5 weeks ago. She was 16 this past January 23rd. She was blind, almost deaf, had to keep her diapered, and had kidney disease. But still loved to be held. She suffered a stroke so we had to have her put to sleep. I miss her so much!
