Default People don't get Yorkies as "Dogs"

I know this is a bit off the subject of the original thread, but I had to respond to the above comments.I have had dogs and animals all of my life, and I am 36 now..I have owned at least 20 or 30 dogs by now, and though each one was very special to me, and I probably was a bit more mothering to them than some, I can honestly say Moe, who is my first Yorkie, but not the first I have ever known...is not JUST A DOG.....yorkies along with other toy breed dogs are in a special class of thier own, closer to little people a part of the family in a way , even though dearly loved a bigger dog could never be. I think there is nothing wrong with being house proud, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to keep nice things nice, but life happens, messes are made, and we clean up and go on.To say an accident caused by a potty training puppy is appalling is ridiculous!! Baby people make accidents, as do baby doggies......and if they brought the puppy, I am sure the house owner knew it was coming.I have recently had the loss of a dear pet, and I will tell you this, the biggest shock to me is how my husband reacted, he had complained for 12months about the straw and hay getting all over the place, so finally I moved the guinea pig hutch to another location, and the poor lil guy died in days, due to cold.....my husband was devastated, and said it put it all into perspective..he wasn't just a guinea pig, he was a life, a little spirit in a furry body, and to have been shoved away into a place it was "ok to have mess" was wrong.....we were responsible for him as we took him on....and it was up to us to provide it....if you choose a tidy house over a life and the spirit in that life...you will certainly break the spirit and it will die, then it will become just a dog, just a rabbit, or just a bird.....Twinkle is a precious spirit in a little body, learning what she has to as we all did .....I wouldn't live in a 300,000$ house if you paid me, life isn't about that..it's about who you are and what your like to the spirits you encounter while on this planet. Sorry Twinkles mom had to say this.the above post upset me.
