Are we crazy??

[Jennxling]

I know many YT members have more than 2 furbutts. So I thought it'd be interesting to hear about comments that we have all received because of the amount of "dogs" we chose to have. I always joke that I will become the crazy dog lady If you'd like, you can also add how have your furbutts change your life?

Let me start, I have two babies and I'm a college student and everyone thinks I'm crazy for having them because college is very demanding. The problem is, I want more! If I can, I would have a house full! My bf is calling me crazy. My family thinks I'm irrational. My friends joke that I will have a zoo soon.

Also, I just want to add, my yorkies has really changed my life!! I am currently a Psychology major, but am now planning to become a veterinarian because I realize how much I LOVE animals and how much I want to help them. I will definitely foster animals in the future when I am more stable. Wish me luck!

I've been called crazy by a lot of family members and neighbors.

I've stopped listening to them and keep adding to my zoo

[shodanusmc]

I have been called Crazy and dogs do not even enter the equation!

[jltwigg10]

Okay let me just start by saying that I think most people who feel the need to comment on MY life are CRAZY. They do not live with me and they do not have to be around "My Craziness" as they put it.

With that said I will give you the run down of the occupants of our loving home.
Skin Type:
DH, me, 17yo son, 7 yo daughter and 4yo daughter.
Canine Type:
2 Yorkies (Mine)
1 Boston Terrier - (Son's Dog)
1 Papillon - Female (DH Dog)
Feline Type:
3 domestic cats - all rescues
Scale Type:
10 fish of various types but mostly Cichlids.

I have been told that I have a zoo and maybe I do. However I love my home. It is full of love and companionship for everyone.

I was just at a memorial luncheon for Carol (Nikki's owner) and her brother came up to me and said "So you're the crazy dog lady. Do you really have 4 and why?" I wanted to slap him. I took Nikki in because her family would have put him in a shelter like they did with her other 2 dogs when she went into the hospital for a few days.Nikki and I were the only ones visiting her at the nursing home. So if they call that crazy, I'll take it. I'd rather be called that than heartless which is what they were.

I'm in college too. I also have two babies. Only one yorkie and a mini schnauzer. My mom, brother, and many others think I'm crazy. I don't even think two dogs are a lot! College is demanding but I am home a lot studying so they get plenty of attention. Couldn't imagine life without them!! Who cares what anyone thinks, if you take care of them and love them that's all that matters. Nobody goes around saying how many skin babies you can have so why should it matter with furbabies?

I have only 2 , but am looking forward to having one or two more soon.
I would love to rehome or foster .
Call me what u want my house my rule. !!!!! The more the merrier.

I've been called crazy for having just one...especially by my dad and some other family members.

[ChibiLuv]

Sometimes I feel crazy for only having one! I am looking foward to evental having 3, is it crazy that I already named the ones I'm yet to get? I also have been buying clothes and barrets for my future girl yorkie...lol, that lil baby is going to be sooo spoiled I can't wait to be the crazy yorkie lady.

I wish you all the luck and have all of the confidence in the world that you will succeed and be the very best at it!

Oh PLEEEAAAZZZZ!!!! We have 6 dogs in the house. 5 yorkies and an american eskimo. My dogs make us happy WAY more often then they annoy me, (we have our moments). Like the previous post said, anyone who has anything to say, they don't have to live here. Me, my husband, and my daughter love our babies and to hell with what anyone else has to say.

[gcoronado4]

I'm a college student toooooo!!!! I have two yorkies and love them to death! My mom says furbutts are way better than having skinbutts at this point in my life. I love my dogs to death and would have to say they are some of the most spoiled, loved and taken care of dogs in the world. I couldn't imagine life without kissing each of their little heads before bed every night.

[J_is_my_initial]

I have 3, a yorkie, chi and pom. Everyone thinks I am crazy with all my health problems. I just point to my parents who have either 6 or 7 dogs. Can't remember them all. Also 2 cats and 4 minature goats.

Currently I have Eight Six are mine, and I am puppy sitting two for a friend. I have had them since July, so they feel like they belong here now.
I have been called lots of things from crazy to stupid. I dont pay much attention to what people say, because from what I have experienced with humans I'd much rather spend my time in the company of dogs! I make it a point to let everyone who makes an off comment about my babies know exactly where I stand on the subject too.

[princessizzy]

Ok here's the thing!!!! I know that there are people out there that think having more then 1 or 2 dogs crazy, becuase of how much work it is, cost etc...

BUT don't try and make someone else feel bad because that's what chose... This is what happened with my sister-in-law and I... It made me Sooooooo mad....

We have 5 dogs.... Oldest to youngest..

Shadow 8yrs Golden
Kylie 7yrs Chocolate lab
Wishbone 4yrs Jack Russel
Twilight 2.5 yrs Chihuahua
Isabella (Izzy) 1 yr. yorkie

They are all potty trained...yes even Izzy..lol... The big dogs (Shadow and Kylie) are trained to stay in the kitchen, laundry room and basement. They LOVE being outside but I make them sleep inside

Wishbone, twilight and izzy are free to go where ever in the house they like... (they are easier to keep clean

I'm a stay at home mom, my house always smells good. People can't believe that We have 5 dogs. They are fed great food and always have fresh water... We have a HUGE yard and they are all trained to stay in the yard..except Izzy...But will not leave the little ones out by themselves..And they are all fixed... except Izzy.. which will be soon (before her next heat for sure). They are all update on shots... and are very healthy!!

When we go away my mom comes and stays at the house... I have all my bases covered...

Kylie is my rescue dog... She was only 12-16 weeks old when I found her with a rope around her neck sooo tight that I could not even get my finger through.. She has changed my life the most when it come to dogs... They are part of our family..

BUT of Izzy will always hold a special place in my heart.. and the other dogs need to thank her.. It's becuase of Isabella that they eat such great food (Orijen).. Before her they were eating Iams I never knew about the different grades of dog food etc... They all have beautiful coats and in great shape!!

My hubby, kids and my self love them to the Max.. and they know it
