A Yorkie Strutted Along the Fence Rail With Kittens Trailing Below

AI imageyorkshire terrierkittensfarm fence

A little Yorkshire Terrier stands on the wooden rail of an old fence with his chest out and his ears pricked, looking confident. Below him, a line of kittens follows along the fence: a ginger one, a gray, a black-and-white and a calico with bright eyes. Garden pots, herbs and a weathered shed fill the yard behind them in warm light. The rail creaks slightly under his paws, but he never wobbles.

We could call the Yorkie Pepper. He walks the fence like a tiny general on parade, and the kittens trail behind him in a very orderly line. It is a lovely picture of small friends going on a stroll together. The kittens look up at him with great admiration.

Yorkshire Terriers are small dogs with big personalities. They are bold, loyal and alert, and they like to be in charge. Their silky hair needs regular brushing, and they can be fragile, so avoid letting them jump from high places. Kittens love to explore, but fences and rails can be dangerous for young animals, since falls can cause injury. Keep outdoor adventures supervised, and keep the yard free of hazards such as sharp wire, toxic plants and open gates. Your vet can tell you when kittens are ready for the outdoors.

Pepper leads on proudly, and the kittens follow close behind. It looks like a very good parade.
