I know YTers put a ton of energy, emotion, time, devotion and love into their yorkies and they don't have them to keep up with a fleeting "trend". But for people who don't value their yorkies like YTers and other responsible dog owners, this ignorant mentality fuels puppymills and people breeding too tiny moms  . |
Sorry if it seemed like I was singling you out. After 140 something posts, I don't really remember who all has said what. In general, the Paris comment comes up whenever this topic comes up and I tend to get a bit touchy if I feel like I am being put in a category with her
. I completely agree with you that the trend towards viewing small dogs as accessories is disgusting.
