My dogs, The Yorkshire Terrier



I have 3 dogs and 3 new  puppies on this year, all are the Yorkshire Terrier.  They are so cute and very lovely.  Everyone loves them, except my husband because he likes the big dog such as German shepherd. 

He had a German shepherd, her mane was Ranee, but she passed away more than 5 years ago.  He doesn't really hate small dog, just prefers a bigger rather a small one. He always says "They are so annoying as they are always barking at everything."  I disagree with him. because they are only some dogs will bark anything and all the time.

I had a thought that my husband was still thinking of  Ranee.  He always mentioned her name when we were in the park or somewhere when people took their dogs to play around the place or when we drove past a vet or training place for Ranee.
 
Turn back to my dogs, the Yorkshire Terrier originated in the 19th century in Yorkshire, England, to catch rats in clothing mills, also used for rat-baiting. I never knew they were used for rat baiting. I thought it was funny because the Yorkshire Terrier is a small, toy-sized dog. The small head is rather flat on the top, with a medium-sized muzzle. The teeth meet in a scissors or level bite. The nose is black. The medium sized eyes are dark with dark eye rims. The erect ears are V shaped. All four legs are straight when viewed from the front.
 
The Yorkie is a wonderful companion! It is very affectionate with their master, it's a sturdy dog of blue and gold colouring, and they are best known for full flowing tresses of a texture quite similar to human hair.  These lovely locks do take a great deal of daily care though.
 
They are an active and  small  dog but very healthy and fit. They need daily exercise. Yorkshire's love walking. A short walk will please them so long as they get a good sniff around and some mental stimulation.  My mom and dad always let them out to our lawn.  Yorkshires aren’t just lap dogs though and do like to run, fetch and play like any dog.  They are very sweet and loving and can be trusted with children.                                                                                
So that you could see  now what it is roughly about the Yorkshire Terrier.  If you have one you will love them as same me.

Cyclamen, my favourite plant, cheery and bright


I have fallen in love with this flower, Cyclamen since I had first met them in Thailand when I went to visit my cousin at her house five years ago, they were so very pretty flower for my opinion.  They were so very delightful and delicate.

Cyclamen is a small plant, when the entire plant has in flower, reaches only 8 inches high.  You can find florist cyclamen in shades of pink, red or white. Even this cyclamen’s foliage is attractive, often having silver marbling on the top sides of the leaves.

Base on my research, Cyclamen do not like heat, but they are not frost hardy. You should not care them to temperatures below 50 degrees F. So that you should avoid drafts as well as hot and dry air.  Cyclamen normally go dormant in the summer. They don’t like the lack of rain and excess heat, so they take a siesta. By April cyclamen will be getting tried and the leaves will begin to yellow and die. When they go fully dormant depends on their growing conditions. If they are houseplants and the heat is kept high, they’ll peter out more quickly. On the other hand, some don’t ever appear to go fully dormant.

I tried to care them when I lived in Melbourne, they seemed healthy and glorcious then I went back my homeland in Thailand for 4 weeks on April 2013.  After I were back to Melbourne with the good vacation, my favourite plant was started to tried and leave began to yellow and fully dormant, then dried out and die. 

I am not sure I could care again in Brisbane but I would love to try as I am really in love with them.
