The Lady in Waiting Was a Yorkie With a Fan and Sharp Ears
Silky blue and tan hair frames this Yorkshire Terrier's small face and rises into two neat ears. A black cap with a net of golden threads sits above her head, and she holds a folded fan in blue and gold close to her chest, with a tiny paw gripping the handle. Her gown is a deep blue velvet embroidered with gold flowers and pearls, and a teal green wall closes in behind her. Lady Pearl seems to have just finished fanning herself after a very exciting bit of gossip and is now waiting politely for more.
Yorkshire Terriers began as ratters in the mills of northern England, which explains the feisty, confident personality hiding inside a tiny body. They are alert, affectionate and quick to bark, so early training and socialization are valuable. The long, silky coat is more like human hair than fur, and it needs frequent brushing or a shorter trim to avoid tangles. Because Yorkies are small, they chill quickly, and their teeth need regular care, so talk to your vet about dental routines. Short walks and play sessions are usually enough to keep a Yorkie happy.
A fan is the ultimate accessory for a lady in waiting, especially one who is always listening. Behind that sweet face is a tiny queen who misses nothing at court.
