I just have to say something here.
Lots of people on here have posted about losing their yorkies to accidents. They were playing and the yorkie fell, they left the yorkie in the backyard and it came up missing, another dog attacked their yorkie.
I've heard a lot about 'accidents' occuring because someone turned their head or left their yorkie unattended for just a minute not thinking that anything would happen. Should these people be discouraged from getting another because of an accident? I don't recall anyone telling them they should get another breed because they lost their yorkie to an accident, to that one moment they weren't watching, that one moment they would give anything to have back. If this were someone who had been on YT for awhile and not someone new, there would be nothing but kind words and understanding. I don't understand how come newbies are treated different from long timers, it's one of the things about this site that I am tring to deal with and I see happen over and over again.
I love you guys, you have been more than friends, you have helped me SO many times and I would be lost without you. I just don't understand the discrepancy, an accident is an accident, no matter the circumstances - a baby is gone and someone is hurting.
