I must say when I first began to read this post, I completely indentified with it, and then the thought came to me... "OMG, someone is going to BASH this poor lady for hitting her dog!", and I began to read the replies hoping I was wrong. I am new here, but have been on many boards in my e-life. I know there are ALWAYS strongly opinionated people who are not shy about their posts just waiting to pounce on poor unsuspecting honest folks. HAPPILY I see that Yorkie owners are polite, sympathetic, and humorous people who support each other in their quests for happy and obedient pooches.

Kudos, Yorkie owners, and double kudos to each and every one of you who replied on this thread!! I am so happy to be among you!
