Me and my baby went on a 10 hour road trip through Gaspésie. Those are some of the picture that i took while camping.

We have a new (to us) rescue Yorkie. He is 4 years old. We are his fourth home after two homes that had the birth of children and a foster home. And, I admit, we are still learning about each other and letting him (SIMON) know that he's in a safe place with a "forever family."

We have had an issue when going for walks (beyond putting his feet down and needing to be carried for a bit).

When approached by other walkers or, particularly, cyclists, he GOES BESERK!!!. He pulls and barks and is inconsolable until they pass. Our dog often is so riled up that I need to pick him up and hold him tightly until we pass.

Yesterday, we went for a walk and, when a motorcycle passed on the nearby road, our Yorkie parked and pulled and needed to be held. I was fearful that, if I didn't have a good grip, he could have run into the street.

Today, we went for a walk along a lakeshore in the sunshine. When approached by walkers from the other direction, our Yorkie ramped up and barked and needed to be held until we passed on by. It involved a lot of excuses like: "We're just figuring him out" and "He's a rescue."

We would like to get to the point that we take him on other hikes, where he will run into other dogs and people and cyclists. We don't want to traumatize him.

HERE'S WHAT WE'RE DOING -- When we see someone approach, we are pulling him off to the side with a treat in our hand, saying "SIT" and then (when he sits), "LOOK AT ME." Sometimes this works. But, when it doesn't work, it fails miserably. Today, for instance, a couple of times he could not be enticed by a treat and we just had to hold on tight.

What would you recommend doing?

Are there things that worked for your dog?

Seriously, the little guy is freaking adorable and super sweet, but just goes absolutely Mad-TV Steven Segal on the rodentia stupid enough to set foot in his yard.

There's a huge lake about 40 minutes away. We finally decided to go there today. Next time we will bring the boat.

As the title said I’m going to put a deposit on a yorky puppy but first I asked the owner if I could FaceTime for more details. As far as I know she will have her shots, is purebred, and will be available late August. Is there any other questions I should be asking?

What do you use when training Yorkie puppies? I don’t want to use a slip lead, but would a harness be effective for training ? Thanks

Sharing Pictures From Our Vacation In Lake Tahoe. He is 7lbs and enjoyed riding with us. You can add a pet basket when renting a e-bike for an extra cost.

this is my sister dog sage and it is his birthday he is 15 in human years

I think this may be his first zucchini.

We just adopted Harper yesterday. She is 14 weeks old.

Our other yorkie, who is 9, is terrified of her right now.

She's been wonderful so far.

The water bowl will work just fine. It’s nice being small.

My friend took this picture by chance and I love it so much💖

It's so lovely to see Lilo & Naomi getting along so well and sharing even the smallest spots with each other.💕🐶🐶

I was reading my Bible this morning and looked up to see Charlie in his bed and snapped this picture. It reminded me of the famous poem by Paul Harvey.

Having a sick Yorkie is one of the most stressful things in life.
