Aspen the Yorkie

We have been updating Squidoo lenses over the past few days, including mine, and would really like you to visit!

Please visit Yorkshire Terrier and Aspen, the Best Yorkie Ever Squidoos, they aren’t long, and easy to visit.

Then you might want to visit my owner’s main “Lensmaster page” to see ALL the Squidoos she does, her most popular is “Is New Jersey Weird”, the Yorkshire Terrier one is 2nd in line, but you might want to visit some others too…like “Strumming the Autoharp”, and her blogs about Bird Feeding, Box Turtles, and even Gravestones. Have fun!

We’ve done a brand new page on natural pet remedies, you’ll find it in the list under “pages” in the right column.

I have some allergies from the tree pollen, and the fleas and ticks are all over, so thought it would be good to share an article like this. Hope you like it!

Hi everybody! It’s a new week, and I want to talk about food. I LOVE food, even food that isn’t good for me. I don’t care, as long as it tastes good…but sometimes even though it tastes good, later it makes me sick. So I’ve been listening to my owners talk to each other about what they are feeding me, and here’s some of the things that I’ve heard them say:

• Don’t give Aspen cured or overly seasoned meats. Yep, that’s right, those are the ones that taste so good, but always make me sick. And some cured meats have chemical additives in them than aren’t even good for humans, so why feed them to me?
• Don’t change Aspen’s dry food to a new food too quickly. Just recently they changed my dry food to another brand, and they gradually added a little bit to my old dry food, then a little bit more, then a little bit more, each time them fed me, so I gradually got used to the food.
• Do consider food if Yorkies or dogs like me throw up a lot (I know, yuk, sorry about that), but only if you have changed foods in the past couple weeks. If we get sick a lot, we should be taken to the vet right away.
• Do occasionally let us have a little bite of food when we beg for food at the table…well, actually I’m just throwing that one in. That’s a really bad habit, but the big guy owner here who said that would never happen if he ever had a dog sneaks treats from his plate to me all the time. My most favorite is chicken!!!

Those are my tips for today, if I think of more, I’ll let you know! Have a great day and a tail waggin’ week!

Hey yorkies, and yorkie owners, this is just a quick post today.

Did you know there was a club just for us? It’s called “The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America“, and I’m looking forward to spending some time visiting there.

Of course, I kinda like my site here, too, and hope that you’ll come back!

Have a great weekend.

I just wanted to let you know that two more pages were added to the “pages” section of the blog today (see the list of pages to the right)….one about aging pets, and another with the start of a list of food recalls, food warnings, and foods that are not dangerous for you, but may be dangerous for me.

Hope you had a great weekend, my family was out a lot at church and visiting family, I missed them.

Yes, that’s me above, asking one of my owners to please throw my stuffed bunny for me while he tries to sit and relax. I’m a bit overdue for a grooming, and it looks like it, doesn’t it? Usually my hair grows pretty long in the winter, and my owner trims it, and puts it in a pretty bow, I hadn’t had my daily grooming in the picture above.

In the early summer, when it starts getting warm, I get a nice short “puppy cut”. Shorter even than in the picture below…this is my favorite picture, after I was groomed once.

I put a new article on the site today, you’ll see it under “pages”, about getting to know your yorkie. I hope you enjoy it, and hope you are having a happy day!
