My husband has always been a small dog lover (takes a real man to.... blah, blah, blah

), but he is absolutely smitten with yorkies. He is the one that bonded at the breeder and picked Coby from the litter. So yeah, yorkies do turn men to mush.
On an interesting side note, on the way to and from work every day, I have to pass by a truck stop. It is simply amazing the increasing number of truck drivers that have decided to take on a partner - a tiny four legged, adoring partner. They are always out there stretching their legs in the grass. I just think - what better way to make this 24 hour tough way to earn a living enjoyable than to share it with a small furry best friend??
