Aspen the Yorkie

My friend, Copper, has a new picture sent to me by his owner, Betty Lynch. Copper is a rescue dog, and is settling in to his new home nicely, according to Betty…who may be sitting next to him at her laptop?

You met Copper before, but this is a new picture, and a new reminder to us how important it is to consider adopting a pet. There are many sites to help you with this, start local, though, almost every town has an animal shelter, I know ours does. If your town doesn’t, check nearby towns. There are SOOO many pets that need homes, or just someone to visit them at the shelter and take them for a walk, maybe your shelter needs volunteers.

Only 2-3 weeks ago, I posted some pictures of a few of my cat friends in Australia at this link, and sadly, received news yesterday that the precious little kitty pictured first in the post was quite ill, and as of today, is no longer alive.

My owners and I are so sad to hear this news, it’s hard for humans to say goodbye to their pets, I guess we become like family to them, I know my people are like family to me. You are going to want to click and read Kathie’s wonderful tribute to her Beauie, “Ode to Beauie“.

Lots of human hugs and yorkie kisses from our home in the US to your home in Australia, Kathie and family.

This is another new friend of mine, a baby puppy picture of a French Bulldog with a very fancy name, MaRee’ Antoinette! Her owner, Debbie Mormino, told us that she is now 3 years old and very cute, but this picture is from when she was just a little puppy. It looks like she is on a pretty bedspread, maybe that means she likes to sleep in the bed with her owner(s) like I do, right between the pillows because I’m so tiny.

I don’t really know a lot about French Bulldogs, it looks like they aren’t quite as fuzzy as I am, and I bet they don’t have to go to the groomer and get their hair cut, that would be really nice!

I hope you’ll click on Debbie Mormino’s link, she helps woman learn how to prevent breast cancer, so she calls herself a cute name, “The Breast Diva”.

I’m really happy to introduce you to another dog friend of mine named Jack. His owner mommy, Vicki Taylor, said he was an American Eskimo, maybe that’s why he has such a beautiful, white coat of hair. We were looking around on the web, and saw that some people call their American Eskimo an “Eskie”, just like a Yorkshire Terrier is called a “Yorkie”. My owner keeps saying she’s never seen a dog like this, they are so pretty and white.

Jack is a BIG dog compared to little me, and he is the one that introduced me to Dogster. If you click right here, you can visit his site. I haven’t joined dogster yet, but will let you know when I do.

This is my friend, Pixel. Pixel visits here a lot, and leaves funny and nice comments on my posts.

Pixel is a Yorkie-Poo, I hope I spelled that right and won’t tell you what I thought it meant at first (LOL), because Pixel’s human, the famous “Pop Art Diva” said she is called that because she is partly poodle. But only about 10% so that’s why she’s almost totally a Yorkie just like me!!

I’ll tell you why her picture looks like it does in a minute…but first, this cute little Yorkie lives in Arizona, and loves to travel to art shows with her owner. I’ve also heard she LOVES her cookies!

Now for the picture, if you are owned by a talented artist, I guess this is what happens to your picture, your hair gets a “Photoshop Grooming”. I bet that if you have a dog picture that needs a Photoshop Grooming, the Pop Art Diva can do it for you, but I’m not sure, you’ll have to ask her. She has a really colorful website right here, and you can find her colorful blogs from there.

AND, not to be outdone, Pixel is going to have her own blog, just like I do. Her blog is going to be pixelthepuppy.com, if you go there now, and there is nothing but a hosting service page, come back and try again soon!

My owner loves horses. She used to have one, and wanted us to write about horses on this blog, so we talked about it, and I let her add a page to the site with some simple horse buying tips.

She used to own an Appaloosa, and said that I am smaller than a horses head. I guess I must be pretty small, or horses must be really big. I like writing about me the most, and thought we had agreed we would just write about little dogs, but she loves other kinds of animals too, abd begged me, and promised me an extra snack that she’s giving me right now!

Enjoy the horse article, we’ll be back with something about dogs tomorrow. Snack time!

I got an email today introducing me to a new friend named Copper. I know you will be fine, Copper, because my owner said that the people that took you home are so very nice, it looks like you figured that out already. I like taking naps with my toys too, especially my worn out bunny that I have had all my life. I hope you feel at home real soon. Here’s the email, and a picture of Copper:

Hi Aspen,

I wanted to introduce you to our new four legged son, Copper. We rescued him from the Vet who was going to have to turn him over to the animal shelter because his family didn’t come claim him. Copper has some separation anxiety problems but we are working on helping him. He loves his squeaky toys. He got a new squeaky turkey today and is taking a nap with turkey right now.

This picture was of when we went to meet Copper for the first time at the Vet. He took to me instantly. It took him a couple of days to warm up to his new daddy, but now they are best friends!

Blessings, Betty

Today I made a new friend who has website called “The Adventures of Traveling Bob“!

Bob is a dog who gives great travel and pet tips, and he has a pretty special owner, too.  She used to have yorkies, fancy ones that were in shows when she was in the UK.  Since I’m “just” a spoiled pet yorkie, I don’t know a lot about shows, but these special yorkshire terriers were “15 point Grand National Champions”.  They had really pretty names, not just one name like me.  One was Mari’s Royal Trivar Ceasar and Mari’s Lady Portia Mayfair.  Oh my, they must have been elegant.

They had those pretty, shiny, long coats of hair, not like me, a curly-haired yorkie…I’m not a show dog type even though I have papers, but I don’t care, my owners love me and that’s all that matters to me…and my snacks!!

If you have a little time, stop by and visit “The Adventures of Traveling Bob“, and say hello from Aspen!
