They're like half her size." Instead of being surprised there are yorkies half the size of Uni, they are more surprised she has a playgroup.
Once a husband and wife came in, the wife is a total dog person, the husband not so much. I said the same thing, and he said "Let me guess, everyone in the play group is female and single" Me:  I said, "No actually many are married and have kids and the husbands come along as well." Him: 
It's more of a gathering for friends to have a potluck and let the furbutts play together and helps them get more socialized. I've been so busy I haven't been to one in a while, but what's so funny about yorkie play groups? Human baby's have play groups too, why not fur kids? |
Okay, I'm sorry to break it to you, but many people think human babies are different than yorkies! I lived 50 some years without knowing about this breed, and when I first heard of play dates, I thought it sounded stupid! I thought dog clothes were stupid too.
However, now that I have a yorkie, I thoroughly understand! Joey gets together with my son's dog a Maltese, and my other son's dog, a Shih Tzu, but when he's playing with other yorkies is when he's having the time of his life. He loves going to his breeder's home for a visit, and they just seem to know how to play well together. It's like they all know how to play tag. I think playing with other dogs is good for them, and they just seem to do well with other yorkies, but I don't think most people are going to understand, not until they have one.
