Yorkies and Kids - a perfect combination

What do you get when you combine five kids and a little teacup Yorkie? ...Hours of endless enjoyment!

The kids have been ecstatic and also extremely careful around our new little addition, "Rocksie". The spelling is intentional because our house was named Boulderstrewn by the eccentric geologist who built it.

Some people say Yorkshire Terriers aren't the best dog for families with kids, but so far it's been the perfect choice for us. We talked with the breeder about its personality and we had the kids read up on how they have to take care of her.

Much fun. Welcome to the fam Rocksie.

Style Time with Abby - Guest Post from a Five Year-Old (52 seconds)

This is a special guest vlog post from my five year-old daughter Abby. She's entering a contest run by The Children's Place clothing store on kids with great style...They're promoting their new summer collection, and Abby was all too happy to give all the reasons why she loves summer, and summer clothes :).

I'm not gonna lie though, I have no idea where she got this interest, genetically speaking. But I'm supportive of her inexplicable love for fashion anyhow. Besides, at five years-old, she's already really handy to have along while shopping. Her dear 'ol mom is usually the one needing vast amounts of style and wardrobe help when shooting Galavanting.tv episodes. I'm usually so focused on the travel plans or getting the right shots, I completely forget to do my hair or put on clothes that match.

Leave Abby a comment, she'll be really excited to read them!
