I can sympathize. My first yorkie "Mi" weighed 3.2 lbs. and received the attention of everyone who saw her. Mi passed away and I received Skooter as a gift from my niece. Skooter is now 8 months old and weighs 9.7 lbs. and growing. He is adorable, but does not get the attention that smaller dogs get. I don't know why. Even my daughter who is home from college for the summer is not warming up to him as much as she did with Mi. Perhaps it's because she suffered a lot when she passed. I don't know... but it's not fair. |
