Every time we go into the store. Someone goes I want one like him. . . Then I proceed to say no you don't. . . And give them the list of why. . . They can get hurt. Galen wears a little cat collar with a bell at all times when he is zooming around the living room and kitchen.
He is not allowed to use the stairs because they are too high for him going down and he can fall and get hurt. He doesn't jump up and down on the couch. No one is allowed to pick him up. Making sure he always eat. He is picky so it is even harder. Always have Nurtical on hand. I watch everything that goes in his mouth.
I am home so I can keep an eye on him all the time. But went I can't. He has a x pen that he goes in. To keep him safe. I worry about the weather too cold too hot. . . . Also going outside to potty. Birds of prey.
After I am done. . .they look at me and say wow. .l I didn't know that they are so much work. . . Yes they are. I also tell them a 6 lb Yorkie can still be put in a bag and carried around. And they are not heavy. They then say thank you for telling them. .
Galen is my best way to educate people not to get a tiny pup . . .
And you all know I love him to pieces ! |

he certainly has a good mom
