With a little help from my owner, I’ve opened a little store so you can shop for things JUST for your Yorkie or Yorkies, or things for Yorkshire Terriers and other small dogs. You’ll find just about anything you need and more, even things that you can give to people who love yorkies.
I have been putting together a place for you to look at my pictures, and also look at some nice Yorkshire Terrier art. We had fun putting together “Yorkie Pictures and Artwork” and hope you’ll stop by for a visit.
There are pictures of me all through my life, and we had fun matching artwork with the pictures. You’ll find other Yorkie things there, too, so we hope you’ll stop by for a visit and let us know what you think.
Today I visited a website with my owner that had a picture of a dog sitting at a laptop…I guess the dog hasn’t trained it’s owner to do that work for him yet, and now my owner is getting ideas…anyway, we both thought it was a cute picture.
But while we were there, we DID see a lot of things that will help you with dog training. I’ve told you before that because I’m a small dog, I tend to get away with things that bigger dogs don’t, so training for me is different than it would be for, lets say, a big German Shephard or Labrador Retriever. For example, if I jump up on my owners lap, or jump on someone who is visiting, sometimes they like it because I’m small and cute, so they don’t need to train me to stay down. If a German Shepard or other big dog did that, it would be very different.
Even though I think I’m perfect and don’t need any training, my owner liked visiting dogtrainersearch.com and she thinks you will too, especially if you want to learn how to train your dog, whether it be big or small. There were quite a few good articles and links there, so stop by and let us know what you think.
Today when my owner was on her twitter account, we noticed that #pawpawty was in the list of trending topics (visit the twitter link to learn more about twitter if you’re clueless) and so she decided to let me twitter. We do that a lot lately. She changes her picture to mine, and I tell her what to type for me. Today I’ll be taking over for the day since it’s a monthly “PawPawty” day.
This is a special day that takes place once a month, here is the information that someone shared on www.examiner.com explaining the event:
So far, these fund raising virtual parties have raised more than $5,000 for organizations such as The Humane Society, Kitten Rescue of Los Angeles and Orphans of the Storm in Illinois. The next pawpawty is scheduled for May 2-3 to benefit the Margaret Green Animal Rescue.
For each pawparty, a theme is chosen and “party-goers” are encouraged to change their Twitter default pictures to something theme-related (see the slideshow below for some cute examples). Prizes are given away for various contests such as trivia and scavenger hunts – all the while people are encouraged to donate even just $1 to the featured charity.
Who can attend the #pawpawty?
The pawpawties are open to anyone with an interest in raising money and getting the word out to friends about the fund raising efforts. Many of the party-goers are animals, or people who tweet as their pets. There are thousands of Twitter Critters online, ranging from dogs and cats to hamsters, gerbils and even a moose!
It is not necessary to be an “animal” to attend these virtual fundraisers, however. Everyone is welcome – the more attendees, the more opportunity to raise as much money as possible for animal charities.
If you decide to join in, be sure to follow us and say hi, I share my owner’s account and we trade off regularly – http://twitter.com/happynutrition. And if you click on this #pawpawty link, you’ll be taken just to the search results for pawpawty, and see only the “tweets” related to the event. See you there, I hope!
I love it when we have a chance to talk about places that sell things that we don’t hear about every day, because I hope that after my owner finishes typing the post for me, she will want to buy some of the things she sees. (No, this isn’t me in the picture, but what a nice white coat of fur!)
Tonight, we stopped by at a site, and my owner had a puzzled look on her face, then smiled, because she had never, ever heard of some of the things that you can find at a site called North Coast Pets. Let me tell you about a few of them and you’ll see what we mean:
B.A.R.F. – Okay, we know what you’re thinking when you read that, but you’re wrong, it means “biologically appropriate raw food”. My owner’s Mom has cats, and her Veterinarian thinks a raw food diet, including meats, is natural and the right way to feed pets, but it has to be done right.
Deer Antlers
Himalayan Yak Treats – yes, deer antlers and yak treats for dogs.
Animal Naturals Food Supplements
An EGGE for dogs that like to play ball, I have to get one of those, or get my owner to get me one.
Flea season is coming, how about a High Tech Flea TRAP for the ones that get away from your pet.
I could go on and on, there are lots of things for people who like fish…as a dog, I don’t quite understand what people like about fish, they aren’t soft and fuzzy, but my owner’s daughter just got a BIG one for a LARGE fish tank, so I think they’ll need a pump, maybe a skimmer and all the things that people who keep fish need to keep the tank clean so their fish are happy fish.
There is SO much more that I can tell you about, things for almost any pet you can think of, and the thing that is special about North Coast Pets is how different and unique their pet supplies are. They aren’t just your every-day pet shopping site.
Stop by and see for yourself…and now if my owner will just stop typing and go shopping there herself, I’ll be one happy Yorkie!
We are done posting for the week, the owners are going away for a few days, so have a very special Easter, remembering what the season is all about.
