I was sitting at my computer last night checking my emails and usually Brownie is within my peripheral vision, either pacing the floor, in my lap or just sitting on my feet, but I didn't see her so I turned around to find her. And there she was, sitting on the sofa in the 'sit' position with her head tilted just waiting for me to finish what I was doing.

I just felt such a wave of love wash over me. How many of us really take the time to think about how much we love our furbabies? I mean, I love her and play with her and take her out and do all the mommy things with her, but last night, I just sat holding her, watching her watching me and think of JUST how much I love her.

I thought back to when I first got her and she was so small she used to sleep in my slippers, how I just used to tote her in a small bag and carry her to school with me and she would just sleep or sit watching me teach. I thought back to the time when she had her first bath and man, how she squealed like a pig. Remembering how she had a bad rash and had to shave her down to the skin the first time, oh, how tiny she was.

Thinking of each and every single time I was sick or upset, how she would curl up in the crook of my neck and give me a million kisses to make me feel better. The funniest time I think is when I gave her a lick of my ice cream for the first time, I thought her eyes would pop out because the ice cream was cold!!! She started shaking and shivering, wanting more, lol.

Knowing that up till this day, she thinks she's human and she's 'too good' for other dogs always puts a grin on my face. Yes, she's a pampered princess, who dislikes walking for more than a block, doesn't like any other four legged animals and refuses anything but the best.

Brownie is the best little dog, giving me a million laughs, a million good memories and hopefully a million more to come!!!

Sorry for this long post, I just wanted to share and hope that all of you feel the same way with your furkids.

Miss_Sara · 06-27-2006, 11:12 PM

aww I love this

but I sit for hours with Tila just holding her close and looking into her eyes and putting our foreheads together, all that lovey stuff

I love her soo much, and I always feel so much love whenever I see her that I think I might burst. There's times when I wonder if she is even able to realize how much I care about her. I love just sitting there looking at her beautiful eyes, they're soo amazing I love them. I love how she loves me, and how she'll sigh if I ignore her. I always feel like a bad mom for sitting here on the computer, or doing other things I need to do for work. I feel bad that I don't spend enough time focusing on her. Even though I do all the time...

She made my life complete, there was this huge thing missing and now... wow I'm actually happy. Sure I don't live the same life I did, partying and having a ton of wild fun. But I think I'm happier staying home with her, and I don't think people really understand that. She makes me laugh ALL THE TIME, she makes me soooo happpy it's unbelievable, and she knows how to make me feel better more than anyone else.

I feel like I wish there was a way we could show our babies how much we love them.
actually get that through to them and know it

aww I feel kind of teary, I'm just soo glad we all get to have them. And I hope EVERYONE starts TONIGHT at just looking at their babies, cuddling, massaging their shoulders (tehe), just being loving with them, more often.

shwbabygirl · 06-27-2006, 11:17 PM

This is exactly the way I feel about Sissy. I've always said there is just something about her (and Yorkies in general) that is very different from any other animal I've ever had. You summed it up very well.

It is so nice to hear that others feel the way I do. I love posts like those in this thread.

icy · 06-28-2006, 07:52 AM

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who feels this way about my baby. Sometimes I think I'm alone where no one understands how I feel about her, she's my world and my everything. I try to be a good mom, but I'm still learning a lot, especially from this forum. Thanks to all who have responded to my posts and all the great advice.

Jaxon's mom · 06-28-2006, 08:06 AM

I'm the same - I could watch Jaxon all day. He has brought so much to our lives. Everyone keeps asking when we're having kids but I feel like he IS our child.

GeorgiesMomma · 06-28-2006, 08:10 AM

OH I totally know the feeling when Georgie is waiting for me on the computer he sometimes will lay at my feet until I am done. I think that he is amazing. You sound like a great Mom and I am sure Brownie feels the same about you that you do about her

Just wanted to ditto your comment, my soon to be FIL wants another grandsone and I remind he has a furry one

ARCHIE · 06-28-2006, 08:16 AM

Isn't it just amazing how you can love these little dogs. When Buddy
wants something from me he comes and sits on his behind and begs
with his front paws going a mile a minute tilting his head from side to
side and the look on his face is saying "please get it for me". I love him
to death. Sometimes I feel so guilty that he has it so wonderful and
so many do not even know what a kiss and hug feel like. So sad!

Passionfruition · 06-28-2006, 09:04 AM

Great post! I totally agree. It's overwhelming, at times, how much I really love my little Sully and how much joy he brings into my life day after day!

Lacy's Mom · 06-28-2006, 10:36 AM

Myself, Lacy and my daughter were carjacked. After my daughter was in the house safely I started to relinquish the driver's seat and noticed something on the seat, it didn't look like my dog. She was lying really flat and had not made a peep throughout the entire ordeal. She was actually pretty aggressive when it came to strangers and I never could buy a newspaper on the street corner because she would be trying to jump out the window!

Anyway, I realized it was her and told the carjacker, wait, I want my baby, too. You have to realize I have a 9mm Magnum at my head throughout this whole ordeal. Anyway, none of us were harmed. The headlines read "Mom saves Daughter and Dog from Carjacker".

He was later caught and he told the police how stupid I was for saving my dog with a gun to my head. So even when it comes to a life and death issue, yes, we do love our Yorkies as much as we think we do and they return our love one hundred fold!

baileysmom31 · 06-28-2006, 10:46 AM

Wow, what a horrible ordeal to go thought. Thank God that you all are alright!!! But I understand going back for Lacy. She is a part of your family. Again, I am so glad no one was hurt

Natsky · 06-28-2006, 10:46 AM

Oh my gosh you guys have me crying at work. Oh my this is such a very nice thread and makes me miss my dog so much and fills me with so much hope and anticipation at my baby...who will be coming to me hopefully in the fall time frame. I don't know if my puppy has been born yet, or if she's somewhere out there waiting...but you guys have reminded me of why I want this so badly.

A dog is beyond a best friend, beyond a child. A small dog...geez. That's not even a feeling one could describe. Your dogs are all so lucky to have such fine people looking after them.

Lacy's Mom,

Oh my lord I don't know how you made it through that. How very brave you are...Lacy must have known you were all in serisou danger! Oh my gosh that is the scariest thing I've heard in a long time.

I'm so glad you are safe...so, so glad. ((((((Lacy's Mom, Lacy and Lacy's Sister))))) <--- Hugs for you.

TootiesMom · 06-28-2006, 11:28 AM

there is nothing in the world like coming home from a day at work and getting the unconditional greeting from my babies!!! I only have 1 YT but I have 3 others and they are all so precious to me, its like nothing else in the world to have them pushing to see who can get the closest... I never make it past the back door without getting on the floor... LOL... LOVE them pups! I am now looking for baby #5..... I want a new baby girl YT.. cant wait

Surfie and Tiki · 06-28-2006, 12:53 PM

I absolutely loved each and every one of these posts. What an incredibly uplifting thread. My husband and I love our kids so much it’s actually improved our marriage, and it wasn’t too bad to begin with. There is nothing we would not do for them, but they are our kids, as his children are grown and out of our house. They have made our life very complete, and I have no doubt their little lives are complete as well……
