Megan was right. "Tucker is a dog." Bless her little heart. Maybe she won't grow up to be as neurotic as the rest of us are.
I think I'm the only one on Yorkie talk who knows that my dog is a "little dog." He is not "my son" and not "my baby." He's my "little dog."
I am single and I have two dogs. A little Bichon and a little Yorkie. And, I know for a fact that I love them as much and enjoy them as much as any of you love your "babies." I take good care of them, and there is no doubt that they are a little spoiled. I try not to spoil them, but it just happens.
When I'm not working (and I only work part-time), my dogs and I are together almost 100% of the time. I would be one lonely person without them. They are a joy and a lot of work. And, like all of you, I wouldn't trade them for a million dollars.
I'm just not as anthropomorphistic as the rest of you are (hope I spelled that right!) And, please, this is not an invitation to get into a discussion about anthropomorphism. Actually, any of you who consider your pets your little children or babies - have already taken a stand on this subject.
