im a new owner. ziggy is my first dog/puppy/yorkie etc etc. we had dogs growing up when i was younger lol but they stayed in the backyard, ziggy is a completely different ballgame. i always wanted a puppy, or a dog. i saw him in a petstore (yorkies i mean, not my baby) and said 'ooh i want one', well be careful what you wish for, cuz i did not know what i was getting lol. i basically on a whim decided to feed and clean up poop twice daily for the next 10-15 years, LOL. my bad. ok but im going to stick it out. i wasnt a yorkie expert when i got him, and i doubt anyone is until after they get their dog, even the ultimate yorkie owners dont know squat with their first dog. so i ask questions on yahoo and get all these rude answers like i should know this stuff already and guess what i GOOGLE ok.

i guess im just tired of people acting too superior to answer the simple questions and acting like because someone is asking them that their an idiot or irresponsible owner. yea i am an idiot and im irresponsible at times, but when someone asks a question they are trying to enlighten themselves, if you cant help, dont, but no reason to be rude.

i had no clue what a backyard breeder was until i got my puppy. i saw his breed at a puppy store in the mall and wouldve got him then and there except they wanted 1600 and i paid half that from a breeder. (I didnt do any research until after i got him. i know thats not a smart way to go into owning a pet, but i admit it, i had no clue it was this involved.) i got to meet his mom, his dad is in shows, but i didnt get to meet him. i met ziggys brother (sold - but the buyer visited while i was there) and his sister. He also had a contract. At this point im still not sure whether it was a backyard breeder because ppl with no clue are giving me rude information online to make themselves feel like knowitalls.

im glad i found yorkie talk and i do have a tough skin, lol. now all im worried about is asking questions that have already been asked cuz this search turns up hundreds of stuff, LOL. anyways, yes im a new owner, ya im irresponsible, LOL hell i admit it because i probably am somewhat compared to all the geniuses online. i take care of my baby though and i want to end this by saying just cuz someone doesnt know what you know doesnt mean you should heap all kinds of assumptions and judgement on them. its rude, and its a little bit presumptive of some ppl. you can give info without being demeaning thats all im saying. unless of course thats your intention to belittle people, in which case you should reevaluate your contribution to humanity, lol.

sincerely me & ziggy
(and yes ziggy feels the same way as i do cuz any questions i ask are going to help him and he knows his mama has the best intentions for him!!!!)
