i just want to say, sometimes it seems the replies on here are so harsh!!
grantid, i havent made many posts, ive been a member since '07 and im NOT backlashing at ANYONE
ive just read a lot on here...but sometimes its like..jeeeepers.. lol. not everyone owns a dog in the same way.
i realize that every situation is different, and every yorkie is different. but i let pheobe out every day.. not supervised( meaning being outside with her and watching her like a hawk).. she generally stays very close and barks within minutes when shes done pottying. NOW, grantid she always goes out in a pair with cameron( my english setter.. who is leashed because his nose gets the better of him) and shes not a teenie tiny yorkie. she does her business and then comes in. although, shes very accustomed to being outside through our many adventures...
I just feel that theres always everyones own circumstances and judgement shouldnt be given in the sense of what one person thinks should be done. And i dont think that one way means more "love or better ownership" I would do ANYTHING to protect my Pheobe and i love her unconditionally like she was my own child... but if i were to go out there everytime with her she would just want to play/ think it was time for a walk or get the mail.. or just stare at me like "leave me alone while i do my business"
I know that every "seasoned" YT member only wants whats best for their babies, and i agree .. i wouldnt ever leave her outside while napping or anything..
like i said, not saying anything derrogative toward anyone, but i just disagree with instant replies leaning toward " your a horrible person"
