Okay, I'm not trying to hijack but want to say quickly,
I've been sitting here feeling guilty that I was a little harsh on Gracie so just wanted to say that as my first yorkie, she has and always will have a special place in my heart. I always blamed myself for having too high expectations but maybe its a personality conflict. Anyway, thanks for letting me assuage my guilt.
