Not only is that baby spoiled like crazy with all the bells and whistles, he is friendly and social and very well cared for. They have strong convictions about responsible dog ownership and would stop at nothing for that dog. |
Hiya Rachel!
I'm the lady truck driver that Nancy & Cathy spoke of
I really have to agree with what they're both saying & at the same time perhaps give you a different perspective of a "not so typical" Yorkie. Tuffy has been on the truck with DH & I over a year now & IS totally well provided for. It sickens me to think this other woman driver you mentioned allowed 2 poor little babies to perish in her care; we would do ANYTHING for our little guy. He loves traveling, is very well socialized & is potty trained on the truck as well as at home or in hotels. He lets us know when he needs a break & we stop. He's had so many adventures including swimming in the Colorado River & meeting a cow nose to nose (of course we monitor all of his interactions). He is with us a whole lot more than a lot of pups; in fact I think he has NOT been with one or the other of us for a total of 48 hours since he's had us & part of that time was when he had his nueter done.
Please don't think all truck drivers are like this horrid woman
