Guest Blog Post Susan with JJ

As you all know I spend a lot of time on twitter! I noticed one of the people I follow was crocheting blankets for a rescue centre for yorkies.  This intrigued me as it is a lovely thing to do and I asked her to do a guest blog post for me, so here it is

I had JJ 12 months ago last June he was 11 months old and had been handed into the Yorkie Rescue Centre in Lincoln. He is a full pedigree and his previous owner was in her 80's? She couldn't cope with a young robust puppy and he was given to the rescue centre to re-home. The one is of the blankets I am doing, the lemon & white one is still not finished yet. Will finish this week. The picture with JJ on the blue and white blanket is his own finished one, which he has on the bed. He was 2 years old last month. He is a drop dead gorgeous beautiful Yorkshire Terrier with plenty of attitude. He has forgotten his past life before I adopted him. He now walks well on the lead and isn't scared of the outside world anymore. I don't think he had been on a good walk until he came to us. He was petrified of bus's and large vehicles going past and would shake, he is absolutely fine now. JJ and I go for long walks at least twice a day. The walks last from 45 minutes to an hour and he loves them. Where we live we have fantastic walking area's and are surrounded by woods and spinney's. We also have the jewel in the crown the Arrow Valley Lake which is about a mile and a half round, plus there are other lovely walks off it.  JJ does have a bit of attitude against other dogs coming near me. I had hoped to adopt a little girl Yorkie at some point but I need JJ to be better around other dogs. He is good if I walk with someone with another dog until the dog comes near me for a pat and a cuddle. JJ is still only young and once I retire from work completely, ( I do 2 days a week) I will be there all the time with him and hopefully a sister for him!  Please all take a look at the lovely JJ on youtube and give him a like or a comment JJ YouTube Video Thank you so much to Susan for a great blog post showing her generous work using her crochet skills to help others
