In our Yorkie world, you are absolutely NORMAL! And I don't care what the non-Yorkie world thinks! I grew up with dogs as pets throughout my entire life - Doberman, Rottweiler, German Shepard, Pug, and many mixed-breeds. I loved them but no where NEAR as deeply as I love my Yorkies Rio and Bullet. Until you have a Yorkie, you just don't know what that feels like. I get teased by my family (in a loving way) that I've become one of the "those" people. I just smile proudly and say, "Yes I have."
