Thank you all for your support! Seriously yesterday everyone was looking at me like I was nuts. I didn't even get mad. I would say "no she shouldn't do that" - my one cousin said "I want to see her jump!" and I was like "No, I don't" and she walked away. Later I said to my mom "she is MY dog and I am trying to train her" Say in 5 years if she is bad and whines for food and all that it is MY fault. She is doing so well with her training. I read about yorkies for months before she arrived and I find people are bringing her off track. The grandma thing is right, and you are right by saying I shouldn't have to worry about what they think. Her safety is the most important thing.
My mom has a golden retriever and he is so big and dopey I will never let them play. My sister hopefully was not dumb enough this past weekend to take my dog over there. Her dog can be so scary (even to me!)
All in all this weekend I was thoroughly peeved off with the way people disrespected my wishes. What they taught me was that I cannot allow them to take care of her. (Thank goodness I have no more weddings!!!!) |
