Yorkies

Because my blog is about my family and our yorkies, I guess I should write a bit about them. We raise and sell mostly tiny yorkies. Our "stud" is a 3 pound silver and tan yorkies. He actually thinks he is a Dobie. lol... He will take anyone on. We know he is the sweetest little guy who loves attention and to be snuggled and held. His name is Bear. Actually it is "Jordan's Montana Wee Bear". We have 3 females, Ali aka "LaBella's Bit a Sunshine" Rosey aka "April's Top Card Rosey" and Missy who doesn't yet have her registered name. She is only 6 months old and not ready to breed. Ali has 2 baby boys , 12 weeks old. I do have some interest in them at this time. Bear has his DNA in the AKC stud book. Ali is 3 pounds and is our 1st yorkie. She is totally spoiled rotten and follows me around all the time. She is the one that tells me when the food bowl is empty, when everyone needs to go outside, and when she just wants to be held. She could sit in my lap all day long and be perfectly happy. The others need to stay away from her babies or she will make it plain they are hers. Missy is a little stinker. She is mostly black. her fall hasn't changed color yet, so it is quite a shock to see her with her jet black hair. She reminds me of one of those soft floppy stuffed animals. She can jump onto my lap. She weighs 4 pounds 13 ounces. She is a joy to watch and play with. Rosie is our oldest female. She is 8 years old and has had many litters before we bought her. She was 5 when we got her. She is the one who can get out of the yard, but always comes back right away. She will sit by the food bowl just so no one else can have any. She will not share. She is also the biggest of the bunch at 7-8 pounds. Her puppies have not gotten bigger than 5 pounds.
Besides our Yorkies, we have a Minpin cross(with what we don't know) He is an old dog and ornery as he can be. The yorkies for some odd reason will never leave him alone, always licking his face which makes him pretty mad. lol.... And then there is Max. he is an austrailian shepherd cross and gets pretty irritable with the yorkies too. (they just want to be friendly) Max goes to work with Greg everyday. He is a herd dog and very well mannered. He sleeps in our room because Greg has him spoiled rotten too. He does warm my side of the bed before I get in though so I can't complain.
You can see my yorkies at www.freewebs.com/labellayorkies
Have a look and let me know what you think of my little furbabies. They are a joy to own and they love you forever. As the saying goes, Yorkies are like potato chips, you can't have just one.
Ours are small enough,we could actually have a few more. lol... My husband would go nuts.

Christian One Liners


Don't let your worries get thebest of you; remember, Moses startedout as a basket case.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
The good Lord didn't create anythingwithout a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
People are funny; they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and the back of the church.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Opportunity may knock once, but temptationbangs on your front door forever.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn't belong.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Some minds are like concretethoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Peace starts with a smile.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
I don't know why some peoplechange churches; what difference doesit make which one you stay home from?
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
A lot of church members who are singing 'Standing on the Promises'
are just sitting on the premises.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
We were called to be witnesses,
not lawyers or judges.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Be ye fishers of men. You catch
them - He'll clean them.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Coincidence is when God
chooses to remain anonymous.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Don't put a question mark
where God put a period.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Don't wait for 6 strong men
to take you to church.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Forbidden fruits create many jams.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
God doesn't call the qualified,
He qualifies the called.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
God grades on the cross, not the curve.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
God loves everyone, but probably prefers'fruits of the spirit' over 'religious nuts!'
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

God promises a safe landing,
not a calm passage.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
He who angers you, controls you!
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
If God is your Co-pilot - swap seats!
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
Prayer: Don't give God instructions -- just report for duty!
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
The task ahead of us is never asgreat as the Power behind us.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
The Will of God never takes you towhere the Grace of God will not protect you.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*
We don't change the message,
the message changes us.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

You can tell how big a person is
by what it takes to discourage him.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*

The best mathematical equation
I have ever seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.

Just starting here

I have finally started this new blogspot. It looks like fun and I just love my sister-in-law, Ashley's blog. Hopefully mine will be done as well as hers.
For starters, I live in Mt. with my husband, and kids. I have 2 grown daughters with families of their own. 3 granddaughters. 2 boys, 19 and 16. Jordan is away at college right now and Aj is a junior. Shanna; my oldest is living in Mn. with her husband and daughter Lexy. Sunni lives here with her husband and 2 daughters Jenna and Devan.
My husband, Greg works at Home on the Range, a home for troubled children. He is actually the ranch and plant supervisor and does all the ranching and farming and upkeep of the ranch. He is also a woodworker and has made many beautiful pieces of furniture including our Mission style bed.
I am a cook at our local cafe. A job which I like and love the people I work with.
I also breed and sell Yorkshire Terrier dogs. A breed that is fun to own and can live anywhere. apartments and small homes are ideal for them. I have 4 dogs right now. 2 tiny baby boys also.
I enjoy alot of things. Reading, scrapbooking, prophecy, gardening, flowers, studing the Bible, family, and blogging. There is alot more but I guess you will all find those things out later on. Saving money is a good one too. LOL....
I am not sure how to do this blogspot thing yet, so bear with me as I learn. I enjoy Ashleys blog so much as; even though we only live 8 miles away, I never get to see her. Isn't that sad???
Anyway, I enjoy keeping up with her and the boys. I see Cody more than the rest as he stops by every now and then to see mom.
Well I need to get ready for Aj's football game so lets see how this goes.
I will post pictures and such as I learn how. I hope you don't mind Ash, if I copy some of your cool ideas....lol.
