| Are we really nuts? I was just wondering how many of us have friends or family who think we are nuts for the way we treat our babies? My friend was over the other day and I was showing her the new winter sweaters for Mac & Mellie. She looked at me and said "you do realize they are just dogs?" (I had to explain to Mac & Mellie after she left that she just doesn't understand Yorkie people.) Now my husband will ask me do I really think they are going to answer me when I have conversations with them. Of course they do! I have caught him talking to them when he thinks no one is looking . So I was wondering am I alone or are there other Yorkie owners in need of help according to their friends?

| my friend owns 2 boxers and while she is at work she leaves them in crates. She makes fun of me because Luna has a puppy-sitter, well i am sorry i prefer to have a well socialized dog then one who is so hyper from being crated all day that they dont want to sit and be nice.

| My family and friends all think I'm out of control and crazy. My new nickname has become "The crazy Yorkie Lady". It's so hard not to get so into Yorkie's once you have one! They become your life and they're just so darn cute ! |

| I take it all as a big compliment! My vet told some people that he wants to come back as a yorkie in his next life and have me as an owner b/c of the way I treat Simon and Hallie I take my dogs to daycare, use my family vacation for them, gave up half of my living room for their condo and would give up anything for them. If anyone ever said to me "they are just dogs" I would kick them out of my apartment and tell them to never come back! My mom totally understands and is a little "crazy" herself, she sends Simon and Hallie emails all the time and talks to them on the phone! My dad on the other hand thinks I'm out of my mind but I'm ok with that! My friends may think I'm crazy but I'm always the first person they ask to puppy-sit so I must not be that crazy |

| I am the same way.....My family swears I need to find a Teddy Annonymous support group. I just can't help it! I am happy that this forum is here or I think they would have me convinced I was over the edge.

| Shhhhhhhhhh My four legged family have no idea their dogs. All three of them are so spoiled, and VERY happy. They know what a dog is, there's one next door in the back yard all day (poor thing, put's my daughter in tears). I'll just keep them thinking they are my kids! And with all their stuff around here, you would think they are. I just wish they would learn how to put toys in the toy box. They sure know how to get them out!!! Do friends think I'm nuts? Yea,because I treat them all like kids, only they have four legs! But guess where they send their four legged family when they go out of town. So if I'm a nut, at least I'm a happy nut! With lot's of friends!

| We aren't nuts! Are we?? My dh and I are always getting strange looks because of the way we talk about Keeley. My grandma was just visiting and she was teasing us about his outfits the whole time. The part of it that sucks is that a few certian people think that after 3 1/2 years of marriage we should be having a "real" baby then pretending out dog is one. They really don't unsderstand, even if I had a trillion "real" babies Keeley would be spoiled and treated the same. I love all the dog things and absolutly LOVE LOVE LOVE having a yorkie in my life! |
