my boyfriend thinks it is weird that I say I love my yorkie, but I seriously do. It may sound horrible but I would choose her life in a heart beat over some person I didn't know. I love her like she is my own child and I only want the best and longest life for her. I get so upset when I imagine a day I'll have to live without her. She brightens my day and she is a loyal friend. I spend more time with her than I do with anyone else...she sleeps with me, is by me when I eat, do my homework. I would do anything for her, even go into debt if she ever got sick to help her! I don't think it is weird, i think some people just don't understand how you could really love "just a dog" like you would your own child. She is my baby!
