I have to agree that yorkies are therapeutic and thats probably part of the reason I initially fell in love with my first one and put so much effort into taking care of them.
It seems like I've always been in some sort of high stress, high pressure role in my job and haven;t really had any hobbies that I've enjoyed that were good for my stress level until I got my first yorkie. I can;t seem to keep myself working out which I know would be great for stress.
I really enjoy being with my fur-babies. It doesn't matter what else seems to be going on. They make me laugh and smile. Just thinking about them makes me feel good inside. I love every minute I get to spend with them, whether its cuddling, grooming them or just playing.
It seems to have the same effect on my whole family.
