Friends

I've discovered that we don't have to bark in the same language to be the best of friends!

So how about doing something nice for a friend today... ;)

What a handsome bunch!

My, I didn't realise that you were such a handsome bunch! My human wanted to have a few pictures before she did this post, so here goes!

This is Miss K. She has the most beautiful eyes and you can read all about her and her brother R, pictured below in the middle at: http://www.romp-roll-rockies.blogspot.com/. They live in one of the most scenic places in the world and I just love reading about their lives in this wonderland. Thanks for the lovely pictures you two!

This is my friend Oskar. He was the very first friend who found my blog and I just love how his mom connects other humans and their pets from all over the world. You can visit him at: http://www.oskarsblog.com/ Thanks for this lovely picture my friend, you were the cutest little puppy!

This is my friend Neeko. As you can see Neeko is a Yorkie as well - I wish he lived up the road so that we could go for walks together. These long distance relationships....why can't a girl meet a guy who lives just up the road? Anyway, you can see what Neeko is up to at: http://www.neekospaulding.blogspot.com/. Thanks for the pics my friend - I am so happy you found such a lovely home!

This is my South African friend, Toby. Isn't that puppy picture just the cutest ever?? Toby and his mom have a wonderful blog and I'm so sorry they live a two hour flight away from us, I would have loved to say hi in person! You can visit them at: http://www.africanwhitechild.blogspot.com/. We love watching you grow up Toby!

This is our other little Yorkie friend, Pocket. You really were a cutie when you were small my friend - now you're just plain handsome! Read more about Pocket at: http://www.foleymonsterandpocket.blogspot.com/.

Don't you just love these big eyes and the lovely hairstyle! This is our friend Gus. You look like a LIVELY fellow my friend! The look on that photo screams - 'hey, what's going on - I want in on the action too!'

And finally ...

Little Miss Holly who now is not so little anymore! Holly's mom says when she got this tiny little puppy she had no idea that she was going to grow into a such a big girl - today she weighs 45lbs! You can read about Holly's life at: http://www.hollydaysandwags.blogspot.com/. I think I'll probably look like a flea next to you Ms Holly!

There you have it. Some of my other friends are away on holiday, if we get any more photos we'll post them in the new year.

Thank you so much for those of you who sent me your pictures, we LOVED looking at them and getting to know you all a little better! My human and I feel blessed that we've found all these new friends through our blog. We already knew that animals are special but we are discovering that people who own animals, all over the world, are a special breed on their own!

We are so happy to welcome you as our friends - we look forward to walking a long path together, be it in cyberspace! Here's wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!

It's all about friends!

Let me tell you something about animals. They know how to network! I have made at least 18 new friends since my human started my blog and if you keep in mind that each one of them have at least two humans, that means I can add another 36 humans as well. And then I'm not even counting all the other animals that each of those households have.

I am a very private girl but I will admit, I love inviting all these new friends in my life! I think my human feels a bit more normal now that she has discovered so many other humans who are just as connected to their pets!

I saw something she wrote the other day and thought I'd share that with you.

She said she is really grateful for her 'anyway' friends. Friends that remain her friends anyway, no matter what happens! I really get that. I think that is exactly what all pets are as well. We will remain our humans' friends anyway, no matter what! Perhaps that is one of the reasons why they love us so much!

On that note, let me me introduce you to the rest of my family. Lets start with the other Yorkie in the house. Her name is Chloe and we are the same age. She's a bit camera shy, so this is the best I could get...

I love her to bits but we do constantly battle for a spot on my human's lap. She really makes me mad at times but she remains my friend anyway!

Then there's George the Maltese. He's our alpha male but he has his work cut out for him with two female Yorkies in the house. George is incredibly regal. He doesn't have any pedigree papers like we have but if dogs had kings and queens, George definitely would have been a king of sorts. I really respect him and will always let him eat first, I even allow him to be the leader at times when the humans take us for a walk. :)

Then there's Bacardi. He's also a maltese but he's really been very camera shy lately. I'll get the human to practice her camera skills on him next week. As we're all getting some of our best pictures posted, it's only fair that he also gets to have a nice one as an introduction.

It's scary how much I've become like my human. She also likes things to be just right! Wait a minute, maybe she got all of that from me - we all know by now what a strong personality I have!

I just overheard on the news that the humans are watching on TV, that one third of South Africa's drinking water is contaminated. Even as a non-human, I find that to be a disgustingly sad statistic! I'll have to tell her to fill our drinking bowls with the filtered water that I see them drinking. My stomach is just too sensitive to deal with anything less...

Here's wishing you all a wonderful week!
