I too feel like that with my dogs. Don't get me wrong, I love them ALL - and I would do ANYTHING for ANY ONE of them...but Stedman is my BABY. I have a Mini Dachshund - whom I love to pieces...we got her when she was a puppy and have had her almost 4 years. We also have a mixed breed/rescue (which is really more of my husbands dog than mine) and I love her too - she is a SWEET, SWEET dog...very, very loving - but she can also be a BUTT HEAD to Pippi (our Mini Doxie) and it makes me very angry and sometimes I feel like it would be better if we just didn't have her - and then I feel like kicking myself for thinking it!

We don't know what kind of life she had in the past (although I'm guessing one that wasn't good) and some of the things she does aren't necessarily her fault.

Pippi on the other hand, can be VERY annoying. She is also VERY, VERY loving though. She LOOOOOVES sitting in my lap, and she LOVES attention. BUT, she does this thing - lol...where she STICKS HER BUTT in others dogs faces, and it annoys them ALL!! I don't know why she does this - she has ALWAYS done this...all the time

She also gets right in others dogs faces and drives them crazy, and she isn't nearly as smart as Stedman or our mixed breed, Peaches. She is ADORABLE - and she is really a sweetheart, but she does things that will drive you absolutely NUTS. Also, my husband made me put her outside because she would NOT stop peeing and pooping in the house - he just got SICK of it, and I don't blame him. But she really does love it out there - because she has Peaches...and Peaches DOES need to be outside because she has lots of energy and is a bigger (well still on the small/medium side, but bigger than Stedman and Pippi, lol) sized dog. I don't know WHY - but I just never bonded with Pippi or Peaches the way I did Stedman. And I feel soooooo bad about that. I mean it literally eats me up inside, and I think about it EVERY SINGLE DAY. I don't know why it is like that - because with Stedman, our bond was just INSTANT - and I do mean INSTANT. It is weird...

I have FINALLY figured out though - that Yorkies are "MY BREED" of dog. I told my husband that I will probably, -well- most likely, never own another breed of dog again. There are other breeds out there that I think are cute and all - but my heart is entirely with the Yorkie.

Anyway - sorry to ramble on

I just wanted to post and say that I DO know exactly how you feel - It was actually nice to read someone elses post and realize that I am not the only one who has this problem

Although I wish I didn't

I feel absolutely HORRIBLE after writing all this...now I have to go give Peaches and Pippi a big hug - I feel just AWFUL
