Welcome to Yorkie Talk, Rose! What is your Yorkie's name? The wonderful thing about our furbabies is they don't care what size*/age/or gender we are! They love us unconditionally! And we love 'em back!
Walking a dog is a people magnet. Period. Dogs are GREAT coversation starters! We got to know so many people at the RV park in Florida where we spent last winter through their dogs! WE all didn't have names....we went by "Chewy's Mom", "Higgin's Daddy", "Chanel's Dad", etc. They had a weekly "Dog Walk" around the park every Tuesday morning. And one of the campers in our loop held a potluck cookout for all of us dog owners.....dogs were invited to come, too......and it was a ball!
*I am a woman of some substance myself** and Higgins LOVES to sit on my "shelf" (bosom) to survey his world. Don gets jealous sometimes because he says Higgins prefers me because my body is more comfy for him to hang out on.....LOL.
** Actually, I'm a size 10. All this extra skin and padding is just to keep the size 10 under there from getting scratched.
