My Dog has What?

| October 8, 2009

Jasper, our little Yorkie, and I have a ritual that takes place every day after dinner. We play Basketball, only his is on a much smaller scale and it doesn’t require a net. Jasper has an array of toys and they all have their time and place throughout the day. Of those toys, his Basketball […]

Not Just Another Rover

Choosing the right “just perfect” name for your beautiful Yorkie can be just as important as choosing the perfect pup, or any other family pet.
