The intent was not malicious but just uneducated. People do not realize that we can eat many things that are not good for us and it could take years to see the results, (heart disease etc. ). Yorkies eat the same thing and the result is seen almost instantly, it is toxic to their small bodies.
Unfortunately, some people just do not understand the seriousness of the situation and will never get it. I know many people like this. Hopefully when they know better they will do better. Good luck in protecting your furbaby. |
I agree. I know they weren't being malicious and they only wanted to spoil him but we had discussed it NUMEROUS times. I don't think they believed me or respected my knowledge about Yorkies/dogs in general to actually listen to me. That is until, just as you said, they saw the results--a seriously ill pup, a $300 vet bill and me in hysterics that my baby wouldn't make it. You are so right--thank you!
