I think my yorkies are very therapeutic.... when I feel sad or depressed, all I need to feel better is a few wet kisses from them. (My son has a chihuahua for his asthma, and whether it has been proven medically or not, Callie has helped his condition. She only weighs 9 ounces though and I would DARE not take her out in public where she would be exposed to sickness/diseases from people wanting to handle her)
I think Yorkies CAN be used for services such as depression, anxiety, lonliness, etc..... |
YORKIE GOLD... I know this in response to my posting on another thread. Let me clarify that I believe that dogs can be therapeutic. I was specifically referring to the dog who was 1.6lbs for the handicapped. That to me remains and will always be impossible. However can this 1.6lb dog bring comfort and love, yes I believe that whole heartedly.
I would appreciate the next time you have an issue with me, please contact me directly as I am here as a fellow member to befriend Yorkie owners, not to do anything else.
I respect your opinions (even if I disagree with them) and I hope, in the future YorkieGold, you will respect mine and not send PMs telling me you will be ignoring me and adding me to your ignore list. I am sorry you feel that was neccessary...
