Just a comment about stereotypes and yorkie ownership: My family went to an American League Hockey game tonight that was having its SPCA promotion--with the purchase of a ticket and small donation, hockey fans could bring their dogs to the game with them!
Hockey seems to have a reputation for having certain kinds of rabid fans, so it was fascinating to see the variety of dogs sitting with us in the dog-approved section. There were a lot of yorkies and plenty of big burly guys in hockey gear carrying their little--clearly well-loved--dogs up and down the stairs.
So, the good news is that although some people may have negative preconceived notions about yorkies, there are plenty of people to disprove those theories. And, the dogs themselves were excellent ambassadors--I didn't hear a single yappy dog. (There were only a handful of dogs who made any noise at all, and they were large breeds.)
It was a good night for our little "angels" to put their best paws forward. |
