 Why i asked for teacups
I asked for teacups not about money. I asked about teacups because the women I work with adore them. Most of them live alone and have small homes or apartments that have a 25 lb limit on the dogs they can own. No point in working with them to bond with a dog they can't keep. These women find teacups useful as they can take them with them when they see their therapist, are in the hospital recooperating from a beating or rape and the nurses don't mind, and they can take the dogs everywhere when they go out shopipng for example without leaving them home alone. These women also suffer from a great deal of anxiety and I have seen how being able to have the teacup with them allows them to keep the dog by their side without people at even restaurants complaining. A big dog would not accomplish this. Besides, I do have a very selfish reason for asking for that also. I am on SSI because of bad knees and a bad back. I have to be able to lift these dogs a lot, especially to give them regular bathes. I can not lift a big dog over and over day after day without straining my back. Nor can I handle walking a dog big enough to yank me all over the park. So these are the reasons why I want a small, or teacup, set of yorkies. |
