Dependency: A poll - YorkieTalk.com Forums

alaskayorkie · 10-22-2006, 02:25 AM

I admit it, I've spoiled my Yorkies. When I wake up and they yap to go outside on a walk, I take them. When I return to the house and they follow me and want to play, I play. When I come home from work and they want my full attention, I give it to them.

Am I the only one who's lost touch with reality?

I can tell you your definatly not alone

Ive done the same with my little Pete he is my child. I will also admit that while going room to room cleaning its kind of nice to have a little buddy follow my every move

What better friends could a perdson have than ones that worship your every move.

They are your reality.

You forgot to add that while you're gone they are always on your mind.

I have to clarify. I voted 100%, But they do nap and they do entertain each other, as long as I am in the same room.

jencar98 · 10-22-2006, 05:59 AM

LOL...we almost renamed her Shadow and it wasn't bc she is all black in color!!

The only time she naps is when I'm on the computer or in the bathtub and in both cases she is laying on a bed nearby!

Morkie4 · 10-22-2006, 06:05 AM

Toby will not let me out of his sight but when he naps, it is always near (and I am on the computer). But he does fly out of the room when I vaccum the carpet. He is scared to death of the vaccum, but only when it is on. Otherwise when it is off he walks right by it with no problem. But he is a bit of shadow otherwise. Thanks goodness they do have to sleep.

This was a hard one. When I only had Kona she was my shadow! But now that we have Bernie, they tend to entertain themselves. They do still love to play with my bf and I. But, they do want to be in the same room that we are in.

I have velcro babies. They are my little shadows...

shecass · 10-23-2006, 07:23 AM

Sometimes mine want to be right with me, like now. I'm on the computer and Wyatt is at my feet with one of his toys wanting to play and Mollie is laying on the couch asleep. Wyatt is more of my velcro baby. If I go upstairs to the bedroom I don't care what I go up there for. He immediately jumps in the bed as if to say ok come on I'm tired it's time for bed.

I guess it just depends on what kind of mood they are in.

ldenise · 10-23-2006, 07:38 AM

I had to vote the 75% because I do wait for their naps to do the things that I would not be able to do if they were on my heels. having 4 of them that are totally spoiled is a lot of devoted time. I don't even go to the store unless my husband is here to tend to them. Once in a while I will leave them alone. I have had to leave them for and hour 4 times a week so I can go to work but my husband is here after that whith them.this is all my choice tho. I love tending to them. and they love me just as much. I can tell by the look in their eyes.

Same for me.

StewiesMom · 10-23-2006, 07:46 AM

Stewie and I used to be attached @ the hip, but now that he is almost 2, he has outgrown a lot of his shadow habits. He used to be at my heels when I was cleaning or doing stuff around the house and now he lays on the couch and watches from the other room. I like it like that.

He used to only play with me and sleep with me and now he sleeps with whomever is sleeping. He plays with my boyfriend and my roommate and is not so clingy. It helps me to feel less guilty about leaving him alone or with someone else and I don't feel like he loves me any less.

Potter · 10-23-2006, 07:52 AM

I voted 75% but only if I am in the same room. If I go to washroom for example, he will somehow wake up and follow me

KELLY353 · 10-23-2006, 08:15 AM
