Cute Yorkie Pictures and Yorkshire Terrier Art

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.  

Aspen was born next door, and had a brother who moved to 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. 

I am adding a series of photographs below from her birth.

This picture of cute black bear cubs was taken one recent 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:-)
