I don't know if anybody else feels the way I'm feeling tonight but I'm really down in the dumps. Lately Muffin has been avoiding me, sometimes cowering around me and even running away from me. Of course I'm the one who gives her the weekly baths she HATES. I'm the one who puts those darling doggie outfits on her that she HATES. I'm the one who takes her to the groomer who she's not too crazy about. I'm the one who combs out those nasty little knots in her fur, I'm the one who just sprayed Petzlife in her mouth for the first time tonight and REALLY pissed her off! Yes, I'm the mean old lady who has to do all the bad things to take care of her little girl while Daddy gets to just be Mr. Nice guy because he gets the FUN job of feeding her everyday. And where's there's food, there's love.....
Muffin is the absolute apple of my eye and I love her with all of my heart. I shower her with love and affection all the time but because I have to do the things to her that she hates, it seems she doesn't trust me anymore and I'm really sad about it. I don't want her to flinch and cower when I put my hand on her head to pet it or for her ears to lower when I approach her. I want those beautiful Yorkie kisses instead of her cute little Yorkie nose in the air!
