Maybe just be proactive about it... Invite the 14 year old over to your house for her "birthday celebration" weekend or something, just the two of you. You can have her be in charge of your yorkie (under your supervision, of course!), and you can go through all of the things that your yorkie needs on a daily basis. She can learn about your dog, and you can teach her all of the things she DOESN'T see that Britney and Paris do for their dogs (or have other people do for them!)
You could also let her know that she is welcome to come and see your dog any time she wants to spend time with a yorkie. Maybe let her take it out with her friends somewhere or have them over to your house too, if she can be trusted to do so. Maybe the novelty of the yorkie will wear off once she knows how much work it really is. |
