WHAT'S NEW AT TMY......

Sorry I have not been writing much on here. The busy summer days with family things and taking care of business...LOL. What's new here at TMY? Well, we are impatiently waiting for our babies to arrive. Vegas is due next Wednesday but could wait until the following week if she decided to. Tessa and Faith are in training for showing. Payton is waiting for majors. We have entered in several shows only to have small entries. Finally a major coming in Keene NH in early August, but that does not mean we will take the win ....but we have to try. Lucy is growing a booda belly, Fallon is finally showing with her pregnancy too. Maybe small litters this time around. Anna Banana has gone to her forever home. I had kept her for showing but her sweet soft personality did her in. She did not like the big dogs at all. I felt it was best to sell her as a pet although I miss her and wished she could have been a show pup. Meadow has a new haircut, really short shave down and she loves it and so do I.........when i find my missing camera I will take pictures.
My daughter in law Danielle is due to have my 4th grandchild any minute.......a little girl. They have a boy, Garrett already. My daughter Jaime just found out she is having a boy in December, they have 2 girls Taylor and Kierney now.
Angel is in season and we will be doing a breeding this weekend. Sopie and Sampson are here as guests for an overnighter........... Well, that is about it for now.......stay cool and don't eat too much potato salad!! Holly

ANOTHER WIN FOR PAYTON

Once again Payton strutted her stuff in West Springfield MA for a Best of Winners, 2 point win on Friday under Judge Dr. Steve Keating. She now is "pointed out" and only needs one major win to finish her championship. This may come hard but we are going to try. I have to reevaluate where I am going, and now I have cancelled my vermont trip as there is only single points. I don't want to take them away from others who can use them. Will keep all of you posted....... Holly

SHOWS

Some of you asked where the shows are or how to find them. Most AKC sanctioned shows are listed on Infodog.com. You can click on show information and then the State you are interested in and find all the upcoming shows in the area. I show at the show listed as AB which is all breed confirmation. You can also click on the judges catalog to find out Yorkie show times once it is posted. You will be seeing other types of shows listed as well.
My next shows are:
July 3 Crackerbarrel Fairgrounds, Wrentham MA
July 8, 9, 10 At the Expo in West Springfield MA
July 16, 17 18 Vermont (click on Vermont to see the show sites) There are 2.

We then will reassess what other shows we are going to. Possibly one at the end of the month in Rhode Island. August is up in the air due to expecting puppies. Holly

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

With the dog days of summer just ahead of us, it is important to remember that your furbabies can overheat and have problems. Here are a few tips to think about as we approach the hottest weather in New England.
1. Always keep fresh water available for your dog.
2. When traveling, provide water often. A bunny feeder water bottle hooked to the side of the crate works well. Dog waters can be found commercially.
3. Be sure your dog eats. Nutrition came combat hypoglycemia and being overheated and excessive panting can deplete their glucose (sugar) in their bodies. Offer small more frequent meals. At a cookout? Small pieces of chicken, watermellon or cheese work well.
4. Never leave your dog in the car even with the windows cracked.! The temperature in a car in the hot sun can rise very quickly to life threatening temperatures. Every year we hear about pets that suffocate from the heat.
5. If you think your dog is overheating, press cold/ice packs against their belly. This will help them cool down.
6. Saturate a towel with cold water and wrap your dog in it especially over the top of the head and ears.
7. Keep them shaded if possible. an umbrella helps in the scorching sun.
8. Take them into the water and submerse their body to cool them down. Dont make them swim, it can cause more stress.
9. Use fans to circulate the air if they are left in a crate or x-pen. Crate fans are available commercially as well.
10. A nice short haircut for the summer months is always helpful.......dont forget...that long coat will grow back.
Enjoy these tips and have a wonderful safe summer.

I CAN'T THANK ALL OF YOU ENOUGH !!

Taylor Made Yorkies hosted its' 4th Annual yorkie family reunion today. With more than 65 people and over 30 puppies visiting we had a wonderful day. I can't thank all of you enough for coming to see us. Every year I look forward to seeing each and every one of you, and to see the puppies it is just incredible!!! I love them all!! I also appreciate the special guests we had today that came to visit us. Some will be perspective parents and some dear friends that I so much care for.
We had sunshine, tons of great food again, some of which I sneaked into the house so I could eat it again tonight....lol, prizes, and the special gifts for everyone which this year was a 2011 calendar featuring pictures of many of the dogs, and of course toys for all the pups.
Mainely Media came to visit and will write a story and include picutures for the paper. Big hugs to all of you. I tried to spend more time chatting and less time running. I think I did better this year than in the past.
We had cake, and I mean CAKE. A special gift cake was given to me by the O'Connors. I can't thank you enough. It was my 4 point picture showing Payton and the cake was gorgeous. We also had a huge bone cake made by yours truly. The brownies, fudge, pie,cupcakes and cookies were available for all to enjoy. I will be posting a bunch of pictures on here so be sure to check them out.
Again, from my heart I love all of you and your little furbabies. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holly

Don't forget that this Saturday is our 4th ANNUAL YORKIE FAMILY REUNION. I am still waiting for lots of RSVP's and would love to hear from you even if you can't come. We have a wonderful day planned with another "special" gift this year, a promise for great food and lots of yorkies and people to visit with.
Norma Brettell will be our guest speaker this year. She is going to talk to all of you about losing our darling Lulu. She has been missing for well over a month now which we are very sad about, however, Norma has some valuable information that may help one of you in the future.
The weather still looks great and we promise you will have a great time! Holly

DELIA'S BOY


This little boy is available. He looks sad in the blue pic as he was sitting on a shelf and he didn't like it......LOL then I put him on the floor and you can see his spicy look and inquisitive personality.
