If you ever leave the house and your Yorkie stays home, be prepared to have a happy tiny ball of excitement when you open the door. 

I have no idea what my Yorkies think when I leave the house but I know they aren’t having fun. 

It’s a sad event when I’m away from my Yorkie but as soon as my car enters the driveway all I can hear is excited barks from within the house. 

The moment I open the door it’s an experience unlike any other. 

Be prepared to be showered with kisses and love from your Yorkie!

Yorkies are indeed delicate, we all knew that. 

But how important is it to recognize? 

Very important. 

From their tummy to their emotions to taking them for a walk. 

You must be conscious of your Yorkies wellbeing. 

Don’t give them food that will upset their stomachs. 

Don’t yell at them for no good reason, they are very sensitive. 

Last but not least do not take their safety for granted. 

All it takes is one bite from a large dog, one swipe from a predator bird or one speeding car and disaster can strike. 

There are too many stories of Yorkies getting injured or worse, because their owner didn’t pay that little bit of extra attention when they should have. 

Don’t become one of those stories. 

Trust me, I know people who live with the regret of not holding onto their Yorkie around a big dog. 

Or not paying attention when someone fed their Yorkie a piece of chicken that was too big 

Prevention is always the best medicine. 

And regret is something no one wants to go through. 

6. Treat Me Well & I will Love You.

It’s true. Yorkies are one of the most loving dog breeds out there. 

The reason is because for their tiny size they have massive hearts. 

Their sheer amount of love to give is infinite. 

Like a constantly replenishing waterfall, your Yorkie has a never ending volume of love to share. 

To access this love you must prove to your Yorkie you love them by taking good care of them. 

It’s quite simple if you think about it. 

Yorkies are very emotional and it won’t take a lot for them to love you, but don’t take it for granted. 

If you betray them or neglect them they may become sad and nervous around you. 

Constantly worrying about when you’ll neglect them again. 

It’s common sense here, your Yorkie deserves happiness more than some humans. 

Give them happiness and you’ll be rewarded in spades.
