I guess I have to count myself amongst the cat lover converts! The only dog I ever had was when my children were very young & he just came up missing one day after about 2 years; we never could find him & I always assumed someone took him in after he went off on 1 of his wanderings. I always felt that dogs were, well, yucky. They lick you...ewwww, gross!
I really can't begin to tell a non Yorkie person how much different this breed is than most of the other dogs I've been around. I CAN tell them this, not 1 day goes by that DH & I haven't told Tuffy how much we love him & neither of us could imagine life without him now.
