don't want to rain on your parade, but I too --sm

have been in bad relationships and the one thing that stuck out in your post was the fact that he has been married and divorced twice. Just keep in mind that he has been divorced twice for a reason, and those reasons eventually carry over into the next relationship, as well. It may take 10 years before you know all his faults. I am not saying he is not the one for you, but just use your head, as well as your heart, and keep in mind that he must not have been all that perfect if he was divorced twice. I wish you luck.

I don't mean to rain on your parade...sm
But when I went to that 'breeder's' website, I saw a LOT of red flags: lots of info. about puppies-puppies-puppies!, shipping, taking credit cards, lots of use of the word 'teacup' no mention of a health guarantee, no mention of them doing anything with their dogs other than breeding them, no mention of screening potential buyers to make sure the breed is right for you, etc. Pretty much just seems like, 'Hey we've got plenty of puppies, if you have the money, we'll ship you one, no questions asked!' Not good.

I know you might have fallen in love with him because of his picture, but anybody can put up pretty pictures on a website. If I were you, I would RUN, and find a *reputable* breeder of Yorkies instead of that one.

My suggestion to anyone is to *first* go to the AKC Parent Club for any breed they're interested in. (Just search under whatever the name of the breed plus 'of America' and you'll find it.) There, you'll get all the facts, good and bad, about the breed, and you can get a referral to a *reputable* breeder (and see their Code of Ethics), where you will *dramatically* increase your chances of getting a *healthy,* happy puppy with a sound temperament and correct physical conformation, bred by an expert on the breed.

Here is the website for the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America: http://ytca.org/mainview.htm (scroll down to the bottom).

If I were you, I'd try to find a Yorkie breeder through their Breeder Referral section, hopefully close enough that you don't have to worry about shipping. You might have to be patient and wait for their next litter though, because reputable breeders aren't breeding their dogs like crazy just so they can sell puppies and make $$$. But it will be worth the wait.

Also read the Yorkie Club's section on 'teacups' - http://www.ytca.org/faq.html#A (Calling them 'teacups' is really just a sales tactic used by non-reputable breeders. There really is no such thing as a 'teacup.')

I know you didn't ask for my advice on all this and I've been a little long-winded, but I did breed rescue for many years, and I learned a lot about dogs. I'm not an expert on Yorkies, but I do know how to spot someone who is absolutely not a reputable breeder, and I do know that the parent club is the best source of honest info. for any breed. It would save a lot of heartache if people would go there to start their research first, IMO. Best of luck (and health) to you and your future baby! ;o)

If you expect $60K to rain down from heaven think again

My Bible tells me that the Lord will provide (and has provided) for all of my needs, it does not say he will send money raining down for me whenever I get myself into excess debt.  Rest assured that the Lord will provide the faithful with all that they need and plenty of what they want.  It is your right to believe otherwise, but do not step on my Christian beliefs in the process. 


Luke 12:28, "If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?"


 


 


No rain forest, no swimming anywhere here
I have also heard about the things you speak of. He says under the skin and it feels like a worm and he presses on it and it will stop?? I know it is not psychiatric and I would say he is probably the most laid back person, no stress that he ever displays to me so ?? I am so glad (hope that does not sound wrong) to hear someone else had similar. I will certainly pass on.
Help me find a yellow rain slicker
I kid you not. My 20 yo son has asked for a yellow rain hat and slicker for Christmas. He's always been a bit... ummm .... eccentric. He has shown me a picture, and it really looks like the Gorton's fisherman.

On the practical side, my son is majoring in meteorology, so I guess this could be useful one day and more than just a strange fashion statement.

So, does anyone know where I can find something like this for a 6' tall, 190-pound young man?


High of 46 degrees & rain today in

I live in Michigan and we just had 3 days of solid rain and $4.19/gal for gas. sm
We got the leftovers from Ike. Our gas is still $4.19 a gallon. We did not have the power outages that KY, IL, etc had, but we did have 3-4 tornadoes touch down near the MI/IN border. We have a lot of dams that are in danger of being breached and our whole side of the state is in a flash flood watch until Thursday. They figure most rivers will crest near the border by Thursday.
Pay close attention to the post above...It is righter than rain!!!

I'm 5 minutes from Ft. Benning. They graduate on Friday. It will be cold rain here sm
I, myself, and VERY disappointed that it did not snow. I've been here 10 years and have been praying for snow!!! It's only 38 now and won't get much colder than this all week - high in the mid 40s or so. Congrats to your nephew!
