What I hate is the way they wait at the door when you have to go away on travel for a few days, it's so sad!
Allow me the state the obvious; they are not kids. I don't like it when people refer to dogs as "furkids." They will not help you when you are too old to help yourself. They will not have grandchildren you can play with, and you will never be proud of them for getting into grad school. On the other hand, the most you can get upset about with a yorkie, is their incessant barking or maybe chewing something up - they won't smash the car or stay out all night! The worst thing about them, though, is they don't live long enough, and when they pass away, part of us goes with them. So go ahead and love your yorkie as much as you can, because they will still love you even more back  |
Oh yeah, I agree with the last sentence. Even though I TREAT Jackson like he's my child... I'm still in college and young and do not have children of my own. But I would never choose to have only a dog over real children. Nothing can top the love of a child. I think if you think you love your dog that much.... wait until you have your OWN kids.
