| Is there anyone else like me????? I have never considered myself a "dog person". We have had 2 schnauzers for the past 15 years (only 1 right now). They were my husband's dogs and I liked them, but I would have been just as happy to be dogless. Then we got Rowdy (for my husband, I might add) and OMG I am totally and helplessly in love with this little guy. I had absolutely no idea that I could be so gaga over this little baby!!!!! What IS it about Yorkies that can just so completely and totally grab your heart. Whatever it is - I Rowdy!!!

| I have to say I have always been a animal person, but my husband was not. The idea of getting ANOTHER animal almost did us in...lol. But with Bridget it has been diffrent, he cuddles with her and gives her puppy kisses , and for the first time with any animal allowed her to sleep in our bed,(not that he had much choice.) Now he will still deny that he really likes her, but I tell you what when we went to Las Vegas (myself and Bridget) he asked daily how she was doing, and brought her treats and a toy when he picked us up at the airport. I dont know what the yorkie magic is, but I am grateful for it.

| And I thought we were the only ones!!! I too have always had a pet! Patrick had one as a child and after Nicole [who was just a "bonus" for him when we married] died and I would finally even discuss someday maybe having another pet ... he always said he wanted a Boxer ... a MAN dog!!! We realized because of all the travel involved with our work that there would be no big dog for us! He began exploring and learning about Yorkies ... he searched the entire country for just the right one ... he made all the calls, arrangements to meet with the vet & breeder! But we both lost our hearts at the same moment that those little black button eyes looked straight at us with that tiny little bit of her tongue showing!! Our world revolves around her and he makes no bones about it!!! It is indeed "Yorkie Magic"!!!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | From the time I got my first dog (Tessa, My Cocker) I was in love.... and getting my 1st yorkie - Chanel, put me over the edge. By the time I knew I was totally hooked and how much I love her - we wanted another - Chanel was 2 and I didn't want to share her ....but it was the BEST decision I could have made...having 2 is double the obsession and you get double the love So yes...I'd have to say there are many people like you - |

| I think there are three things about Yorkies that grab me. First, they take themselves so seriously as "real" dogs, but they're actually tiny enough to be prey animals, so you admire them for their spunk and feel so protective of them at the same time. That just seems poignant to me. The second this is that they're sort of a combination between a dog and a doll. That seems so endearing to me. And third, they're so cheerful and gung ho about things. And that seems so wonderfully happy to me. |

| Is there anyone out there like me? yes, yes, yes! I am new to the group and am loving every minute of reading these post. I too, had 2 dogs, (maltese and bichon) prior to getting my first yorkie. I did not know what love was until I experienced yorkie, puppy kisses! I now have 4 yorkies. My eldest yorkie just gave birth to 4 beautiful babies, 3 boys and 1 girl. What a treat! I look forward to learning from this group and becoming a part of the yorkie community. Thanks, for all of the interesting articles. Little-Bit, Meggie, Tori & Roscoe's Mom, Barbg402 |

| It happened to me, too. I was Not a dog person. I liked them ok but not gaga over them. Obviously, things have changed. My husband wanted a tough man's dog. Guess what? He loves her. He falls asleep with her on the couch. He said that he thinks she is so cool because she is all the stuff you want in a dog... a great retriever, tail-wagging happy to see you, a great guard dog, etc. all wrapped up in this tiny little package. Plus for me she's like a doll that you can dress up and spoil. She plays rough with my son..tag and tug of war, then She likes to cuddle up with my daughter. We all love her so much.

| I did not grow up with pets. My mom did not allow it.She didnt like any kind of animal. When I got married I didn't want any pets in the house either. I hated their smell, I'd freak if they licked me. Now imagine all that but the total opposite!!!! After we got our first little furbaby Cookie. I've treated him like one of my kids.I think I spoil him even more sometimes lol. He sleeps all cuddled next to me.I'm always asking him if there's anything he wants and he tilts his head like saying " oh mom has lost her mind, I cant speak! " He kisses me all over,licks my hands and arms for a loooooong time! lol I wash his clothes,blankies and toys with my clothes. Then we got Mimi , she will lick your face off if you let her!! lol My mother " the dog hater" LOVES,LOVES, LOVES Cookie! Everyday when I talk to her she asks how Cookie and & Mimi are and what trouble they got into today lol. My husband treats Cookie like a real baby. Hubby has probably lost his mind. He's been trying to teach Cookie to say " Mama " lol Cookie was whining the other night so someone could play with him and everyone was watching TV. He kept on whimpering and pushing his little soccer ball towards me. My hubby started telling him " mama" over and over. Well Cookie would make these wiered almost whisper sounds. After hearing my husband tell him " Mama" a bunch of times....Cookie made a sound that made everyone in our family room freeze lol. He started trying to mimick my husband and was making sounds like " mwah mwah" I totally freaked out. My husband repeated it and Cookie did it again! "mwah mwah" I tell my sister about stuff like this and you know what she tells me? You need Jesus girl!! lol We're happy is all I can say! Yorkies have totally converted me into an animal lover. Yorkies will forever be my favorite breed. Genie |

| I'm one of those people who needs to have a dog. I never had pets as a child so I'm making up for lost time! I was thinking about a papillon before I decided on a yorkie and I'm so glad I made the choice I did. They are such great little creatures, I can't imagine life without my little Chewy! |
