Me too.
I admit carrying a 17lb dog around to me is not very fun lol. But luckily, I never wanted a 'purse dog' anyway and he doesn't like to be held
It is truly amazing to me the difference. I'm so used to Jackson and then I go over and hang out with my friends 4lb and 6lb yorkies and can carry BOTH of them around soooo easily. They're like lifting up feathers. And while for the most part, they pretty much do everything Jackson can do, I think having a dog that small would scare me. I have no interest in owning anything less than 9-10lbs. Luckily, I've fallen in love with a few other breeds, but for someone who loves that Yorkie temperment, but wants a bigger size, you're SOL. I love Papillions but their small size deters me.
