I've been staying home quite a bit lately but today with a lot of upcoming things running through my mind, I had to run to the bank and make a stop or two, so, wanting to get it all done and over, I quickly gathered keys, sunglasses and was out the door, did my errands and returned, changed, let Tibbe out and when he came back in, without thinking I sat down on the couch and picked up the laptop, clicking onto YorkieTalk - all without hardly thinking of what I was doing.

I saw a little movement out of the corner of my eye and there, standing on his doggie steps next to the couch was my little Yorkshire Terrier giving me the most pitiful, sad, disappointed and earnest look of reproach I have EVER seen. His chin was slightly up, his eyes big and soulful and his ears pinned back to his head, his little body rigid with hurt and he was torching me with that look in his big brown eyes as if to say, "HOW in the world do you go off, not take me with you and return to this house and get right back on that computer without giving me EVEN the time of day! Do I just not matter in the least to you? Am I just nothing to you now?"

It was just the most judgmental yet sad look I have ever seen coming from the eyes of my little baby, no words needed to totally make me feel like a total crumb for going and coming without hardly a notice of him. There he was just giving me what for with nary a word or raised voice or tear - just a look and attitude that said a paragraph.

These little dogs of ours certainly know how things should go and are dutiful to see that they do. A Yorkie will never allow himself to be taken for granted!!! Needless to say, Tibbe and I had a big love-in and he got his rightful greeting time, love, hugs, kisses and appreciation for all he means to me and lots of apologies for my thoughtlessness. I know nothing like that has happened before or will ever happen again after the look I saw on my Tibbe's face. (I think he's forgiven me but not sure yet as he got right down off the couch after our greeting and got on his Cloud 9 bed when he would usually be curled in my lap!)
