Grand Champion Yetholme Make Mine Mink
9/6/98 - 28/8/11
Born into my hands 13+ years ago and he departed this world the same way, never having
known a cross word or an unkindness.
It's incredible how much we miss him and how much the routine of the day revolved
around him. His favourite place was on the 'bishop's chair', close to my computer and the
main thoroughfare of the living room where he could keep an eye on everything. We never
walked past him without a rub to the ears or a tweak to his hair and even tho he appeared to be sleeping,
you'd know by the lift of an eyebrow that he was watching everything we did.
I think it's the bedtime routine that is the most difficult. He was my bed-buddy and he'd wait patiently for it to be bedtime
but if he thought it was past the time he'd soon let me know, rather vocally. I really miss his
furry little body asleep against my back. Makka - a heartbeat at my back.
A wonderful sire - he has something like 30 homebred champions to his credit and four of outside breeding - and a fantastic dog to show.
He would have been quite capable of doing the show work-out on his own. People used to comment that he looked as if
he was gliding around on wheels.
I am very lucky to have two of his first children here, Wendy and Middy, 11 years, (called to the Rainbow Bridge, 29/12/11)
and his two youngest - Phoennix and Smudge, a year old now and both Australian champions.
He was a once in a lifetime dog and I was very blessed to have him in my life.
Rest in peace, little man
WHEN THE TIME COMES
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this--the last battle--can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears.
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end,
And hold me firm and speak to me.
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree,
It was a kindness done for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Please don't grieve that it was you,
Who had this painful thing to do;
We've been so close--we two--these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

SCAMS!!
Beware of scams and scammers, particularly via the internet and/or newspaper advertisements.
Reputable established breeders do not need to advertise in such places.
I've had several people tell me in recent days of their scam experiences,
they've lost their money and NO DOG.
It's a wicked practice.

. Caveat Emptor - Buyer Beware
When searching for your yorkie, please do your homework carefully, especially before
parting with any money. If you are offered a yorkie that seems too good to be true in dollar terms,
you can bet your life that it is. There are various scams doing the rounds at the moment. For further
information, you are welcome to contact me via my Contact page.
Futher to the above warning, I received a disturbing phone call recently from a lady in Western Australia. She had paid out
a considerable sum of money for a puppy, went to the airport to collect it......and it never arrived. A scam.
Disgusting! How can people do this kind of thing? The lady's children were bitterly disappointed, needless to say.
If anyone trying to buy a puppy is asked to pay by Western Union, be VERY careful.
***
And our yorkies are not just pretty faces, either....
below is Yetholme FreeWill ChaCha
going through his paces
ChaCha has achieved his ADX, JDX title.
I am immensely proud of ChaCha and his 'mum', Georgia.
ChaCha has inspired quite a few yorkies and their
owners to try agility and/or obedience, including
Judy from Victoria who is owned by Chloe (below) & Freddie.
Chloe is truly a pocket-rocket but her
diminutive size is no deterrent to her enjoyment of agility.
Chloe's mother writes.....
Thought I’d let you know how Freddie went at his first training with a bit of agility. He is such a clever little dog.
I showed him all the things and he had a good sniff at them, then flew over the jumps and the planks,
jumped through the tyre and walked up the ramp and across the elevated platform, no trouble at
all. (That’s all the equipment we tried as it was his first go) Mind you a bit of bribery to start with didn’t
hurt. The trainer was amazed. Later in the lesson the trainer selected a couple of dogs to try working off lead,
Freddie included. Freddie behaved perfectly! So we are very proud of him.
Yesterday I set up a few jumps and an old tyre as a jump around the garden and when Freddie rush around
jumping over everything, Chloe followed right on his heels (She is such a copycat and doesn’t miss a trick).
She went over every jump, even through the tyre! She was so pleased with herself and it was hilarious
watching her. She is now also doing really well with her obedience classes. She still finds it difficult to sit
still for long but she controls herself and does it.
Chloe is wearing one of Moira's bows.... www.bowwowbows.com.au

Moira and Princess Charlotte have also ventured into agility. Pics to follow soon, I hope.
