What if that's the only food someone could afford? Yes I did feed my yorkie Jaxson Purina when I first got him because that's what the vet recommended to me but after further research I found that it wasn't the food for us. Along with that research I saw that lots of foods many yorkie owners talk about on also on the FDA recall list for whatever reason. People come on here to seek communicate with other owners & if you have an opinion give it but remember some of us are new to this & don't deserve to be chewed out basically because we bought the wrong food. So before telling me shame on you for feeding your pet purina and supporting that company maybe you should think back on when you first got your yorkie or any pet & if you made a mistake? How about what you eat? Most of these yorkies probably eat healthier then their owners do but yet I'm getting bashed with private messages. Sorry had to vent....I'm an Army wife whose husband got her a yorkie a few months ago & found this site to get info & talk to other owners but instead I find myself getting chewed out. ....End vent... |
Thank you so very much for your post. Being "passionate" doesn't give members here the right to be uncivil. I sincerely hope that you forward copies of the negative posts to Admin and/or Wylie's Mom Chief Moderator.
If I haven't already welcomed you - consider yourself welcomed. AND thank you for your family's service to our country -- his serving in the Army and you being his helpmate.
You are absolutely right - everyone of us had to start somewhere. At one time we all knew absolutely ZERO about Yorkies. Some of us studied and learned before their first yorkie came into their life. I am one of those who learned as they went. Back in 1993 the information highway was a 2-lane backroad so I bought books, and studied, talked to my vet, etc. I am still learning - everyday I learn something new. The day I stop learning will be the day that I am scattered in the wind.
