Meet Aspen our Yorkie or Yorkshire Terrier.  This is her portrait picture...if you visit a Yorkie site or blog and see this picture, you know it's by us...unless of course someone thinks her picture is cute enough to borrow...dare we say steal, but we hope that doesn't happen because it's copyrighted.  

We have a collection of pictures in various forms on this page.  Some are borrowed from things that are available for sale, some we have taken.  All are okay to use on the site.

We hope you'll enjoy visiting the yorkie pictures and art that Aspen has asked me to add to this page...she's quite a fussy little dog!

This picture of cute black bear cubs was taken last summer as they followed their Mom through our yard.  I took this picture out the front door.  But it's not these bears that Aspen chased, Momma Bear would probably not let her get away with that.  It was a mid-sized bear that was at the bird feeder at the side of the house.  My son took Aspen out and didn't know the bear was there, but Aspen spotted it and took off after it barking her yappiest yorkie bark, and up the tree it went, staying there until my son took Aspen in. 

Obviously this was unexpected, and we were very fortunate.  My sister who worked for a large veterinary hospital said that they have a number of dogs come in that have been injured by bears when they have done just what Aspen did.  All it takes is one swipe of the bears foot with those huge claws...and if it's early in the spring and they've come out of hibernation and are very hungry...well...we won't go there:-)

When Aspen was born, she was a tiny little yorkshire terrier puppy.  She was small enough to fit comfortably into a hot dog bun. 

This picture was taken an hour after she was born in March of 1999.  At this typing, the summer of 2011, Aspen is a little over 12 years old.  The time has gone very quickly! 

Aspen was born next door, and has a brother who is now living in Florida.  There were one or 2 more puppies born, but in spite of our best efforts, including the man whose hand you see here who is a professional breeder, they did not make it.

This is the only newborn yorkie puppy picture that I have, taken before there were digital cameras.  You can see another wonderful collection of her pictures that we put together by clicking right here...
