You love jax and want what's best for him and if they don't understand that then screw them!! So uncool to judge someone who loves a dog this much and is willing to do whatever it takes to care for him! In my opinion it takes a special kind of person to love a yorkie...they obviously don't get it but luckily you have cyber friends who absolutely get it and stand behind you 100%!! :-) |
You are so right about this breed being totally different. I have a Westie that I can pat on the head; let him outside (his favorite place) and he'll come in when he's good and ready and needs nothing further from me - other than a good, long walk of an evening.
Lucy is a different story. She's tiny; she still chews wires; she has mild MVD and you have to constantly track what she is eating . . . not too much protein; but make sure she eats and drinks cause she is too little . . it's just different.
You are doing a great job! Not everyone will understand; other yorkie owners definitely will.
