I would never ever attempt to have babies or toddlers with raising Yorkies and I don't see how U all with them can do it and I look up to U for doing it...I just know I have 2 younger children ages 9 & 12 and 5 yorkies and I keep my Yorkies as clean as I do my children with doing their hair and cleaning their area that they live in with that being said is a job in itself!! I couldn't imagen changin' diapers, burping, being up all night with infants and running with toddlers all day long and taking care of Yorkies...And yeah when I have to go somewhere to my part time job or run to the store I myself have to get up like 2 hours earlier to get my Yorkies cleaned and up and going let alone myself, so needless to say I don't wear makeup and my hair stays in a pony tail here at home lol! I guess I want my Yorkies to be nicer looking then myself lol!! And I never go visit anyone I'm lucky if I go see my parents!! |
I should clarify that I dont show my dogs or anything. My dogs are just pretty much, well, dogs, lol. They have free run of the house and just play all day. I really dont have to get up in the morning and do anything with them other than let them out to go potty and feed them. I get up at 6 am everyday, get a cup of coffee and read online till 630
, wake the kids, get the kids breakfast and to school by 745, come home, clean house and take care of the 2 (or 3 depending on the day) kids I have at home with me, do any running, pick up the kids at 245, help with homework, cook dinner, clean up and feed dogs again (and goat, lol, 4-h project), family time and off to bed. I dont need consecutive hours to care for my dogs. They get bathed as needed (right now its every couple of weeks, come spring it will be more often because of the mud), and brushed out as needed or whenever someone wants to (the kids love to!).
