| The missing part of my life I have a little boy. He just turned 2 yesterday and he is my heart. But I have always wanted a little girl. My husband doesnt want anymore kids so I feel like ever since I got Tiffany it makes up for not having a girl. Now I know that a dog and a child are not the same thing. But I feel like I am a good mother to Tiffany and that she loves me very much! I am absolutly in love with her! After I put Bryson to bed (my son) I gave Tiffany a bath and put her pj's on and brushed her hair and talked to her while my husband and I sat on the couch. Of course my husband thinks I am absolutely nuts! But she has been such a blessing to me! And I am very thankful to know all of you and be a part of YT!! Just thought I would share that with everyone!

| I think everybody here feels like their Yorkies are their children. I raised two human girls, but still feel like my Yorkies are my babies. We've had Yorkies for the last 20 years and my husband even tells them to "Go ask Mommy" so he even talks to them like they're kids! Maybe you'll still have more human children too. We stopped at two because we were so worried about the expenses, but now I have one almost through college and one just starting and it's all worked out fine. I really wish I would have had a few more - oh well, there's always grandchildren to look forward to! |

| ahhhh... that is nice. everyone thinks I am nuts too for the way I talk to my little ones. that is ok with me, I can handle the title. Having these guys are the same as having human babies to me. of course I have raised my human children but getting just as much joy from my furbabies. You sound like a good mommy to both.

| That is so sweet! I consider Brutus my third baby. What I really like is he won't get big and talk back to me!

| The missing part of my life is a wonderful and true title to this thread! My story is not a happy story. For 3 years I was addicted to drugs. I was a mess. I weighed 85lbs and was extremely ill. I lost my career, my home, and my family. I was homeless for most of that time. When I made the decision to get clean I found a job, worked hard to pay my debts, and met a wonderful man who fostered my new healthy, drug free life. For my 1 year sobriety anniversary he bought me my first Yorkie. She gave me a love I've never known, she didn't see a recovering addict she just saw me for who I was in her life. She gave me something else to think about and someone other than myself to take care of. She gave me a reason to continue my journey drug free. I honestly believe my continued sobriety is in large part due to my relationship with my Yorkie. They are amazing animals, friends, and companions. I am now employeed with a treatment facility and she comes to work with me every day. My Client's love to come into my office and be greeted by this little ball of fur who showers them with love and is genuinely happy to see them. So yes...they are the missing part of any life they touch!

I know exactly how you feel, we have a 2 1/2 yr old daughter named Kaitlynn and we both thought one child was enough. But I longed for another abby and at first my hubby was not to sure about it, but we sat down and had a long talk we are only 24, he owns his own business and makes more money then most. So we were'nt going to be straped by having another child and we had a 5 bedroom home we had built and so we had everything that we needed. Well my hubby thought about it and realized how much he really wanted another baby and now I am due in 2 weeks to have our second daughter Natalie, we are both excited. Maybe you just need to talk to your hubby and find out what his fears are about having another baby and tell him why you would like one. I could'nt imagine us not having another child and it was very important to me that my hubby be on the same page with me about another baby. I would'nt have just said fine one kid is enough you only live once and if I want ten kids I am gonna have them no matter what my husband says. Thankfully for him i only wanted two for sure LOL, so we are set but he knows that if in the future I want another I will have one with or without him! You gotta live your life for you, if you are finacilaly stable and able to care for a child then I say go for it! | |

| Thank you all...I wasn't looking for praise by posting my story but the acknowledgement is comforting. I really do believe dogs in general and Yorkie's especially have a unique ability to see and read the souls of their human companions. I also believe they are wonderful therapy for the many trials of our lives! Thank you all again!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | KiKiPie I know how you feel. I have 1 dtr who is 20 years old but I have always gotten such comfort from my dogs. I have always had one at a time until I got Cali. I missed having a Yorkie so much that I fianlly overcame my fears and got her. Best thing I ever did. I gladly do not go on vacations because I don't want ot leave my babies. They give youso much joy in return. Zoe's Mom congratulations! Keep up the fight and lean on your baby and us if things get tough!

| Some amazing stories on here and I salute you all for what you have done. Going through things only some of te people can imagine and never thought twice about. You all keep up the GREAT work. I thought I had it bad till I was reading some of the posts. Now mine seems not worth saying. Yorkies are very much a BIG part of my life. They are my best friends, my companions and my babies. They are the love of my life and I would not know what to do without them. I know right now I am having to deal with some very hard decisions on my Wittle Man ( small little yorkie ) and it is very hard for me to decide. Sometimes things happen and we may never know the reason. But one day I hope and pray I will get my answers. keep me in your prayers please. |

Princessyorkie, with God's help you am sure you will come to the right decision what ever it is, keeping you in our prayers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Zoes Mom quoting your post at YT: The missing part of my life is a wonderful and true title to this thread! My story is not a happy story. For 3 years I was addicted to drugs. I was a mess. I weighed 85lbs and was extremely ill. I lost my career, my home, and my family.

For my 1 year sobriety anniversary he bought me my first Yorkie. 05-23-2006 12:57 PM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What a heart warming post you have here, what a tesimony for others that might be going through something such as you endured. God Bless you for your commitment to lead your life in a different direction, one that can only bring you much happiness and joy, so glad you have your little yorkie to travel the journey. Zoes Mom another post quoted from you: I really do believe dogs in general and Yorkie's especially have a unique ability to see and read the souls of their human companions. I also believe they are wonderful therapy for the many trials of our lives! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh so very true this is, after Jack was diagnosed with Progressive Parkinsons I can not tell you how many times I heard him say how much Cassie was such a comfort to him and how much he could feel strength through loving her, then when we lost her it was devasting for the both of us, then we brought Baby Blessing and she is allowing what Cassie gave to us to continue on within our lives, and she is a truely blessing to us both. They are such great therapy, maybe that was all part of God's plan here in this life for us ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Patti and Jack, Baby Blessing | |
