As posted in the newsletter, here is the thread:
Psychologist, life strategist and writer. Born in October 2007 in Oklahoma, Dogtor Bucky relocated to Colorado shortly after to be with his forever mommy. He grew up to become 3.5 pounds of spoiled rotten furbaby. His mommy soon realized how smart he was after he caught on to the training and tricks so quickly that she decided to further his education. He received his dogree in animal behavior and training specializing in Stress related to Spoiling. Later he received his Masters dogree and Ph. D in Psychology from the University of California Barkeley where he graduated summa cum laude (top dog).
Dogtor Bucky has been given the privilege and honor of being the V.I.C. Counselor (V.I.C stands for Very Important Canine) for the Spoiled Rotten Club. It is his duty to assist and support members who are exhausted and stressed because of spoiling overdose.
Dogtor Bucky will have his assistant (his mommy, Countrygirl) type the article called “Ask Dogtor Bucky” that he will dictate for the Newsletter and he needs help from SRC members. Countrygirl will start a thread called “SRC’s Ask Dogtor Bucky”. In this tread please ask questions and voice concerns that he can address in the newsletter. The questions can be from stressed out and exhausted mommies and daddies or from the spoiled furbabies. Please let me know who the question is from (person or furbaby). A good example would be this thread by Philly:
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=123195 “Did you ever feel like a piece of furniture for your furbaby? When I sit on the sofa and put my feet on the ottoman, I wind up with Yorkie on my knees. When I lie down on my side and read, my thigh becomes a Yorkie headrest. I'm tellin ya, I am used and abused by a little furball. How did I let this happen to me?? LOL” ~From Philly’s Thread
I can understand your pain here Philly, but maybe you are looking at your Yorkies’ desire to be near you in the wrong light. Yorkies are very loving, affectionate and loyal animals. In your furbabies mind they just want to be near you and touch you. Think of it this way, do you know what it is like to be near someone you are in love with? What it is like when he/she touches you or holds your hand? Do you know the feeling you get when that person near you everything is perfect and you felt safe? That is why your Yorkie sits on your knees and rests his head on your thigh. He is in love with you. To him, you are the greatest thing in his whole entire world. Now, that should make anyone feel special and not like a piece of furniture. I hope this helps with your frustration.
