And - you guys!! Telling other people that they probably "can't afford" a Yorkie - shame on you! You all say that your Yorkie "isn't a status symbol," but rather a little pet that you love very much -- and then you come off with remarks like this. I know a few people who haven't much money at all - and they have a Yorkie. First, they probably didn't pay a fortune for it (like some people do) -- and second, I'm sure they went without other things so that they could have their Yorkie. (My neighbor got her darling little Yorkie for free.)
As someone who really couldn't afford to buy a Yorkie, I'll sure have to agree with this! When I was an instructor at a jr. college I could have bought one but I wouldn't had much time to enjoy him/her. Now that I'm home I wouldn't have been able to buy one myself. My father bought Susan for me. It's sort of a trade-off. I'm home to be available when he and Mom need me but the rest of time can be pretty dull and lonely, so I do my art work and have my Susan. I can take care of her, but I couldn't have bought her without incurring a debt. Lots of people have lots of different situations. It's good to be slow to judge. |
