I couldn't agree more!
And, can I add one thing along these lines that I've wanted to say for a while? Yorkie owners need to be aware that taking their Yorkie places in a carrier does
not count as socializing their pup. Carry your pup places if you want to, but don't think that you are giving your dog a chance to meet lots of people this way. It's
not the same thing - at all - as your pup meeting new people while standing on his own 4 feet!
There, I feel better for getting that off my chest!
