I stay at home, so Mojo is a huge part of my every day life! He is with me all day and I get along with more pets than people these days! HA!
I worked at my daughters school for a few years (now we homeschool), but when I come, they always ask about Mojo and why he isn't with us (which is only a few times). Luckily, they love their pets too and understand where I am coming from.
I know there are people out there that have "pets"....they are just pets nothing more, but I don't think they have ever had a Yorkie!!! If they have, then they would know why we are the way we are!
I find myself, anymore, looking for and enjoying the company of either other Yorkie owners or those that love the companionship of dogs. (any kind). I am not a very outspoken person, but if they think I am weird or crazy for the way I treat my little guy....so be it....we are all different and I am just glad that this "fault" or craziness of mine is more than likely 100% better than what "fault" or craziness they have!
I too have always been around big dogs (labs) and now a German Shepard. I have heard numerous times how my little guy is not a real dog or how a persons cat is bigger then him or how I should have just gotten a cat. What are people thinking? I don't mind though....I just either ignore it or give them that look of disgust or have some whitty comment.
What can we do? We all have our own opinions and likes and dislikes! I wouldn't change it for anything though!
