Yorkies get new person to play with.

The Yorkies of Waterside have a new person to play with...her name is Madelyn Audrey and she was born on August 24th. She is doing well, except for the need to get her hair done...she's beautiful. So Ryder will have a helping hand in corralling the herd of Yorkies. He has been doing a excellent job, but will appreciate the help that will be coming soon from his cousin.

Meanwhile, Shiloh gathers his things and starts to worry 'bout another set of small hands. He has learned to bob-and-weave like a NFL runningback. But they all have learned to get along..just like they should.

Once the dust settles I will be back at blogging more often...hard to do with new puppies, new babies and such.
Oh, by the way, we sold our last puppy....all 5 puppies have found great homes. We also found a home for one of our adult Yorkies, Patty. She's living a little ways up the road from us with her new family. She's already adjusted to her new home and is settled in.

We had asked the Lord's help in finding homes for our Yorkies, and with time, he has provided us with great one's for each of them.

How much is that Yorkie in the dog ad?

Well, time has gone by..and Rowdy is still with us. We have had over 285 emails for him, but not one we found to be the one for his forever home. Some close contenders, but not that perfect fit.
Oh, we have had some great offers....trade for a bird, trade for a older Yorkie, give him to them...a bunch of them, do we do payments, layaways til Christmas, do we have any mixed-yorkie puppies (hello...did the ad say mixed?), $100-200 offers (seriously - for a full blooded Yorkie, come on people) and a couple of email scams....makes you really scratch your head and wonder. So far, we have been lucky and have found 4 great homes...we only need one more. I'm sure with all the puppymill Yorkies, rescue Yorkies and massproduction kennels out there it will take a little more effort than normal, whatever normal is. Look at Rowdy's face and tell me why we can't find someone who will appreciate him, love him and protect him. Oh I do believe we will find the right fit for Rowdy, it will just take more time I guess.

That gives us more time to play with him and love him... He's having fun playing with the other Yorkies. And we can enjoy watching him grow up...changing into the handsome Yorkie he will be.

So Rowdy will stay with his mommy...play with his half-sister and wait for his forever family to come forward and find him.

So if you know anyone in the carolina's that might be up to loving a little Yorkie named Rowdy...let me know...my email is watersideyorkie@yahoo.com and mention you saw Rowdy on my blog, I like to keep track of where people find out about our puppies.

5, 4, 3, 2 and then 1 Yorkie Puppy Left....He Might Just Have To Stay

Well, the weekend's coming to an end...we sold another puppy....now we are down to one. Little Rowdy, the smallest of the group, and a precious pup.He loves to give Tinkerbell a run for her money...chases her into her cat cave. But she loves it, slowly she'll come back out and be looking to see if Rowdy is going to chase her again. He isn't very big...only 1.75 lbs, a featherweight in Yorkieland. He will be 9 weeks old tomorrow, yet we hold on to him until he makes weight. Or will we keep him....hmmmmmm. He is about the size of Tinkerbell was at the same timespan. He won't be a Teapot Yorkie for sure.

So 4 of the 5 puppies have been sold, we still have one puppy on the shorttimers list. His mommy is coming Thursday to pick him up. So for a few more days we get to love him and play with him, and so does Rowdy. That's the two of them napping today, 2 peas in a pod.

We really enjoyed talking Yorkie to people. I had almost 200 responces to my ads on the computer. And Nana got a bunch of calls on her phone. We screened and asked questions, until we found the best homes for each of the puppies. Something we really take serious.

So the weekend's over, puppies have found homes, Ryder came to visit Saturday night, it was a great weekend.

Now do we sell Rowdy or keep him.....we will keep him for a little while at least. Until he makes our weight limits for releasing a puppy to their new homes. That gives us more time to play with him and screen the people who want him. I will let you know what's going on as soon as we realize it ourselves. Until then, thanks for stopping by and hope you follow us in blog land.

Yorkie Puppies Are Leaving Left and Right

Well, sadness has filled the air at Waterside Yorkies. The puppies are being bought and leaving us on a daily basis. We hate to see them go, but are happy that they are going to great homes that will love them and protect them. We are very selective in who gets our furbabies. So now we are down to 2 puppies...little Rowdy and teddybear Ozzy. We will soon sell them too, but will always have our pictures and memories of the Fab Five. Carly has done a excellent job as mommy dog. She did the first time with Tinkerbell's litter, 2.5 yrs ago.So we will continue to play with Ozzy and Rowdy until they get sold. We will enjoy the smell of puppy breathe, the crying of little furballs and the yelping of fighting puppies.

We still will have the older Yorkies to play with...they act like puppies at times. Look at Tinkerbell below in her cat cave...silly thing. Well, guess I better go play with the puppies we still have. No matter how bad the world seems, it gets better when you play with a puppy. Just my luck...they are asleep. Look at Rowdy sleeping on his dogtoy...precious ain't it.

I'll update the blog if anything changes over the weekend. We love our dogs small or large, young or old, and enjoy the love they give back. Thanks for stopping by.

New Camera...Yorkie Pictures of Fun

Well we are still trying to figure out our new camera...bells, whistles and rings....more buttons than my dress shirt has. But we are slowly getting the hang of it. Here are some of Nana's pieces of art....first up....Tinkerbell in her puppy (cat) cave...she loves that thing...she can run away from the other dogs and hide in it. She even sleeps in it sometimes.

What can I say about Shiloh..he is what everbody wants in a Yorkie dog...loyalty and devotion in a lap dog....he looks sad..but trust me..he's spoiled rotten.Two of the 5 puppies playing as usuall. Ozzy and Haley having a chat...wondering when the "new" families are showing up to take them to their new homes...we sold Flash over the weekend, he has a great family and will be loved everyday.

Merlin is alert and ready to spring into action...he has more energy than the Energizer rabbit. But he'll put his brakes on and be a lap dog in a second. He will be a great doggie for someone.

So there goes our first pictures...enjoy them and we will post more when Nana's done. Hope you all come back and see us and thanks for stopping by. And if you live nearby and are looking for a little Yorkie furbaby email us at watersideyorkie@yahoo.com . Charlotte isn't that far from your house, is it? Let us know...and thanks again...Pawpaw.

Yorkie Pictures Lost Again...Solution...A New Camera

Well we haven't had any pictures to post...our crappy camera went crazy at the beach..lost all the photos...with a new sd card it still ate the pictures. I was able to recover about 75% of them, and will continue to try to get more. But enough was enough, we bought a new Samsung SL620. It's got bells, whistles and a lot more. With 5x zoom we watch the puppies from across the state...well almost. It is a relief not to worry that your pictures are going to disappear. We will post some new pictures as soon as we learn how to operate all the gadgets. We hate to think of losing the puppy pictures...sad enough that we have started selling them and they will be gone soon....so far we have had a great turnout for interests in our pups. Now comes the hard part, getting people to commit. So far we sold one, Rowdy and have another possibly going soon. We will miss the little fur balls, but we know we can't keep 9 dogs...well...no we can't keep 9 dogs. So we will find great, safe, loving homes for them and hopefully with the computer watch them grow up. Who knows they might even come visit us later in their lives.

We will be taking a lot of pictures this weekend for sure, Nana will be trying out her camera like a cub reporter for the newspaper. We will post a new blog as soon as we can..with people coming by all the time it's tough to find time. Wish us luck and if you know anyone looking for a puppy let them know...they can contact us at watersideyorkie@yahoo.com. .

Time to go...before they take their naps...all these people handling them is wearing them out...a hard job to do with a puppy. Thanks for coming and checking on us...we'll post a new blog soon.

Yorkie Fab Five Turns 6 Weeks Old

The Fab Five Yorkie puppies turned 6 weeks old on Monday. Those little bundles of fur below have started to become the Yorkie Royalty they think they are. This is Rowdy, our littliest Yorkie, who is able to keep up with the rest of the puppies and more. He fears no one and loves everyone. Ozzy is the lap dog that everyone wants...I have worked with him and turned him into Shiloh's twin, his uncle. He loves to be petted and will lay in your lap forever. He'll be someones furbaby for sure. Now this is Merlin, the true wizard, who wags his tail at a hundred miles a hour. He will be a happy dog for sure. Loves to play and play, seems not to tire at any rate. He is second smallest, but is a giant with small paws.

Our lone lady is Haley, who will melt your heart with her furry little face. She loves to lay in your lap and stands up to her brothers. She will be a protector of the house, while loving everyone in it at the same time.

Finally, is the fun heart Flash, the largest of the 5, but that means he weighs more than 1 and a half pounds, a very small weight. He'll be ideal in a family with other dogs or older children. Someone to play with, and not tire out, he loves to play.

So today we took them to the vet for their 6 week checkup....shots, drops and scales. They did very well, considering that they are only 6 weeks old and weigh so little. We gave them benadryl so they should take a nap and rest. The vet said they looked great, and checked them all out from top to bottom.

So they survived the terrrible vet visit, a part of their young life that can cause trauma and turmoil. They aren't due back til week 10 to the vet, hopefully with their new families.

We will have to let them go soon, a time both Nana and I don't look forward to. But we also realize that they will hopefully come visit us, and with the net, we'll get to see them grow up.

They are a joy to be with right now in a world that needs some happiness in it.

Please check back and we'll put some more pictures on our blog, along with updates on their lives. Thanks for checking on our puppies and we'll see ya soon.

What a Yorkie can do for you

Well, as Jon and Kate seperate, the world for the puppies is just beginning. They'll have ups and downs and life may not always be bright, but to a Yorkie life is a new beginning each day. They can make the worst day in the world seem better by just a little lick and a loving look. Soon they will not need their momma anymore and be looking for their owners. The people who will love and protect them for the rest of their lives. A job some take lightly, but really requires a special person.Anyone can buy a dog, it takes a special person to buy a Yorkie. Someone who doesn't mind the love and affection that they will recieve daily. The sad faces, the happy faces that each day brings. Oh, it's not always so bad..some days your Yorkie will sit with you, in your lap and only require a occasional petting or two.

Yorkies are the loyal dogs they think they are. Notice the puppy taking a break in the bigger Yorkies bed. They know no size, they think they are bigger than they are.

So if you are looking for a puppy, remember we only have 5...beautiful, playful and seeking love puppies. Four boys and a girl, who will fill your day with all the love you can handle. We are located near Charlotte, NC and you can email us at watersideyorkie@yahoo.com (no "s" on yorkie) and we will tell you how you can purchase your furbaby, answer your questions or send you some more pictures. We don't ship our dogs, sorry, if you want one of our puppies you'll have to travel. Hope to hear from ya and thanks for stopping by.

Happy Father's Day -- 2009

Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there...here's my dad with his favorite lap buddy..Shiloh. Pop, my dad, would rub that dog into a knot. Pop and Shiloh would sit together from the moment Pop came into the house, until he left. I miss that, I miss my Pop...but I have memories that fill my heart with joy.This year we have the blessings of 5 puppies into our life...below is their daddy, Dozer. He is a little fella, but did his job quite well, the result is our 5 puppies.

So the "Fab Five" send a shoutout to their dad..Happy Father's Day Dozer.

The "Fab Five" are doing well, they will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. This is a very special Father's Day, as Pawpaw I am a grandfather for the first time, a father to 3 children and a grandparent to 5 puppies...a special Father's Day indeed. And Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there..enjoy your day.
