I am big guy, well, average guy (6 foot, 175 lbs.). I wanted a Yorkie since I dated a girl who had one when I was probably 21. I liked that little bugger, way more than I liked the girl. I finally got one 7 years later. It wasn't that I picked Lick, he actually picked me. My fiance just had to stop to look at a kitten in the pet store (no comments please) and there was a tiny little dark furball going ape poop in his cage. I went over to see what the commotion was and that was it for me. I ended up with a kitten and a puppy and a bunch of supplies for both. While the cat didn't work out so well (longhair white cat and I have to wear dark suits for work), that little furball, who grew into a 5 pound furball who still goes ape poop constatly, will always have a place in our family. To replace the cat, I ended up getting an even smaller dog, a 3 pound Maltese, who the lady swore would get at least as big as Lick. The maltese, Pinot, instantly bonded with my fiance and only tolerates me. Funny, people always ask me why I don't have a big dog. I just answer that I don't like picking up human sized poop. No one really follows up after that.
