how many of us have not rushed to the vet for something small and silly.
or feed them junk food because they like it.
or stayed up with them because they wear teething and could not get comfortable to sleep.
worried about them when we are apart. or spent time just watching them sleep amazed by how much we love them
i have done all these things.(i might be a little bit extreme) i have even paced in a emergency waiting room hoping my baby would make it threw the night,i cried and prayed i wondered if i would make it if he did not.
yorkie owners are special because we dress our dogs and buy them things like strollers taking the dog/child thing a step further.
Sorry but the idea of buying a liveing ,breathing, feeling, understanding being to teach your child responsibility is sick and it make me cry to think of it. |
well said misslissa!
I have three kids (2 years to 9 years old) and I can say without a doubt they are similiar in many ways. but i can say i wish i could give my 2 year old a chewy and know she will be happy for an hour! lol Only thing that girl does for an hour straight is sleep at night! ha!
but they both (children and dogs) add sooo much joy to our lives. I have to say though i have told young people get a puppy before you have kids lol
