I think its always hard when you're partner is maybe not so keen on the dog. I've now trawled through the threads and posts by Nodak and I have to say that I agree with whats been said, many things were taken out of context and emotions ran high... Quite understandably. After all this is a community of Yorkie lovers!
My boyfriend was not keen on a dog. Infact it took two years and some terrible life changing events to get him to agree. I researched to find a dog breed I would be able to cope with and I just love Yorkie's! Anyway, the week before I brought home Lilly he kept saying things like "this will be your dog, don't expect me to play with a hairy rug rat." etc.
I was a complete nervous wreck! Not only was I bringing home a new pup for the first time in my life but I was afraid my boyfriend wouldn't like her. All my worries were needless, no sooner did I enter the house with Lilly was he fussing her and in love with her. Now I almost get jelous of her! JOKE!! I love how caring he is with her and how he adores her as much as I do. But I am the mom and I do the discipline, training and primary care and he just plays with her. Which is great!
Anyway, Heidi, my advice, love tanner, he will never disappoint you he will just love you unquestioning. If Chris tends to come across like an ar**e well, thats possibly just his style. The YT members really do post great advice and they did so to Chris too. At the end of the day, noone here will be able to give you a magic potion and everything will be just hunkydory. You have to put in the work and I'm sure you will. |
