Thank you everyone. I agree with a lot of you and thank you for sharing your experiences- it puts me more at ease about how I feel.
Luca is healthy now and I havent had any other problems with him. I love having another dog. Maddie and he play together all the time. They are 4 months apart. He's almost there with the wee wee pad and that is definitely not the reason I'm not feeling as close to him.
I'm a stay at home mom and dreamed all my life of getting dogs (my family growing up didn't like animals). I'm unbelievably excited to have them now - not just one, but TWO!
But as someone mentioned here, I think it is his personality. He's affectionate, but other than the licking he doesn't have much of a personality. My husband feels the same way and jokes he was inbred b/c we got him from a questionable breeder.
The reason I love yorkies is their soulful eyes, their people-like personality, I fell in love with the breed instantly.
But I guess Luca is a bit of a disappointment. I feel I'm treating the puppies more or less the same way. I even think I give Luca more attention since he's younger.
Don't get me wrong - He's adorable - but I guess I'm just a bit disappointed. After so much waiting to finally get dogs, I have one that I'm not that crazy about. Hence the disappointment.
Thanks again sweet ladies/guys! |
