And things like this make it so much worse:
Today I left for an hour to go to the grocery store. I asked my sister 80 times if she wanted me to crate them while I was gone so she wouldn't have to watch them...she kept saying "no no I'll take care of them, don't worry." So I hurried in the store, kept thinking about them, and right as I'm checking out I get a phone call. All I hear is "Nicki I'm really sorry but..." and I start freaking out. I literally told the girl ringing up my stuff that it was an emergency and she started freaking out too...so I got out to my car so I could hear my sister, and she tells me three things. #1: She left the gate open and all of the dogs escaped from the yard when she let them out to pee. #2: She chased them down and got them all back. And #3: They all peed on the carpet in my room.
I was FURIOUS!! I hung up the phone on her and drove home like a mad woman...and I left all my groceries in the car and ran in the house. I checked every single one of them to make sure they were ok, and then I screamed at my sister for about 10 minutes, got the groceries, cleaned my floor, then laid in my bed with all 6 of them crying. THANK GOD they all came back...they ALL could have been gone FOREVER! And they NEVER EVER pee in my floor...so I knew she hadn't been taking care of them...uggh!!!

I was just so happy they were all there with me...
So anyways, that just gives me another reason to go nuts...

I mean, I know people do this same kind of thing with their children, but these ARE my children!! I'm so glad a lot of you feel the same way about your yorkies...sometimes I feel so crazy...but then something like this happens and it puts everything into perspective!! Like somebody else said on this thread, I guess this just comes with being a yorkie mommy...
