Did you know, that the National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC) estimates that 500,000 pets are affected by home fires each year?

However, according to data from the National Fire Protection Association, pets accidentally start nearly 1,000 of those house fires themselves!

Prevent your Yorkie from starting fires

Do a thorough walk-through of your home to look for places where your Yorkie might inadvertently start a fire. These potential fire hazards include, but are by no means limited to, loose wires, frayed cords and stove k***s.
Never leave your Yorkie unattended around open flames of any kind – from candles, the stove, or the fireplace (which should also be covered by a pet-proof screen).
Flameless candles are a much safer alternative to regular candles. The twitch of a tail or an inquisitive nose can knock over a lit candle and spark a blaze in a nanosecond.
A glass water bowl on a sunny wooden deck is a fire waiting to happen (though this is not really your pet’s fault). The sun’s rays can heat the glass and ignite the wood, much the same way a magnifying glass becomes a fire starter when placed in direct sunlight. Choose stainless steel or ceramic pet bowls for outdoor use instead.

While ice salt is only mildly poisonous to Yorkies, it can cause irritation to the skin, paws, and gastrointestinal tract when directly ingested.

Make sure to use pet-friendly ice melts (which don’t contain salt).

More importantly, since you don’t know what your neighbors have put down, make sure to use a damp cloth to wipe off your Yorkie’s paws after coming into the house.

The stressful sights and sounds of Halloween night could turn a normally calm pet into a nervous Nelly. If your house gets Halloween traffic, keep your Yorkie confined by putting a pressure-mounted baby gate across the outside of your front door (something like this would do the trick just make sure to get one wide enough to cover your front door).

This way, you can open/close the door for trick or treaters, but there’s no chance of your Yorkie escaping and getting into trouble!

– The lake?
– To work?

Just don’t leave them in the car! Let your Yorkie accompany you at all times. Your Yorkie will love it — and you will too!

We are trying to find a home for this adorable AKC fully registered Chihuahua for a friend of ours.
Lupae is 7 years old,
was born Aug 2016, and the owner has all of his papers.
He is Up-to-date on all his shots.
Weighing in at under 5 lbs and man, is Lupae adorable!
He needs a good, loving home with maybe just a single person or couple because he likes to be held and cuddled ! Current owner says is a little on the “needy” side! Lol!
Serious inquiries only.
Text or call me , Kathi Byrd
812.521.9200.
Please feel free to share this post with your family and friends! Let’s help Lupae find a good home !!
I would love to keep him myself, but not sure Gracie May and Dolly Kate would let me bring another fur baby home !!

There’s no doubt about it: Fat Yorkies are more prone to injury, illness, and mobility issues than their slimmer compatriots.

Studies have shown that, on average, dogs who are slightly underweight live longer than overweight dogs. More food is not more love, no matter what your Yorkie says. If you really love him, you will keep him slender.

Yorkies are hardwired to live in an orderly and cooperative “pack” environment. You can easily and peacefully underline your role – and your Yorkie’s role – in the household by asking her to perform a few simple behaviors (sit, come, down), and rewarding her when she complies.

This daily exercise reminds her that you are the leader. (An let’s face it — Yorkies need all the reminders of that they can get!)

Y’all know I am all about “Happy National Dress Up Your Pet Day”!! Show me an adorable picture of your pet in their Halloween costumes, winter coat, birthday attire? I WOULD LOVE ❤️ to see them in comments below! 🐶🐱🐰🔽🔽🔽

If it were any normal day, people would be staring at your dog in the street. The chance only comes once a year ( unless you’re DollyKate or Gracie May BYRD!!) to wow the neighbors and to unleash the inner diva of your favorite pooch, so make sure your dog is dressed for the occasion!

Holiday guests and other holiday activity can be very stressful and even frightening to your Yorkie. It can also trigger illness and intestinal upset.

Make sure your pets has a safe place to retreat in your house. And make sure they are wearing current I.D. in case they escape out a door when guests come and go.
