I hope that you are all enjoying a great Summer and that you all are either enjoying some vacation time or joyfully anticipating some! I know I am! I asked my Mother – who is a notoriously soft touch—if I could accompany her on her annual trek to Seaside, Florida and she immediately agreed. Even though I don’t care for the beach, we want to spend some quality time together. She has been, as the Kenny Chesney song says, “living in fast forward” and is planning on spending quiet time at her favorite beach. She is even considering driving the Saab convertible instead of flying us. Note: We always travel safely, with me secured in the back seat. Mom would never have the top down with me in the car. Please, always travel safely with your Yorkie. I turned 11 last week. It was a totally fun time at the Gedro house. We had a party for me, and Mom took me on an especially long walk. I loved it. We had a moment of silence for my beloved big brother Max, who passed away of congestive heart failure in August of 2007, and we feel his loving and protective spirit all of the time. I am thankful that I am still healthy and hearty.

There are lots of stories, news and information in this Yorkie Times. So sit back, read, and enjoy! Oh yes…Pete and Zack send their love.
