Do people think you're crazy? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

jkat · 01-02-2008, 04:14 PM

I think those people are the ones that are crazy.

Crazy for not loving another being.
Crazy for not loving an animal.
Crazy for not loving a dog.
ESPECIALLY crazy for not loving a Yorkie!

Who's crazy again??

mechchic3 · 01-02-2008, 04:16 PM

Everyone thinks I'm nuts because I'm always talking about my dogs. I could care less. I absolutely love and adore my dogs. I told my husband that if I had to choose btwn him or my dogs I'd probably go with the dogs.LOL

Luckyone · 01-02-2008, 04:30 PM

yeah they probably think I'm a lil crazy but I don't care. My dogs give me unconditional love, never say mean things to me, are always happy to see me and give me kisses etc. Who else can do that for you?

That is the reason I belong to the crazy club.

Too bad the rest of the world isn't crazy like us -

if it was - there'd be NO abused or neglected pets out there. Just lots of well dressed happy dogs walking around with their people ...probably BETTER dressed than their 'people'

I'm definately the crazy dog lady of my friends and family. But I'm the first one they call if they have questions about their animals. I too wish more people felt like we do about animals. I will never understand how someone can NOT be a "dog person". I feel sorry for those people. They are missing out on so much love.

The people that really matter in my life are happy that I am happy and that Copper is so well cared for.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
People don't understand why I don't travel as much or stay away from home for long periods of time and thats ok they don't have to. My dog keeps me home from all nighters and I couldn't be more happy about it!

A lot of my single friends think I'm insane but really i think it's the other way around

shelbysmom · 01-02-2008, 04:45 PM

I probably seem a lot less crazy with Shelby in my life. I know I smile more

ladybugg74 · 01-02-2008, 04:51 PM

I got a stroller this summer, a pink one. Hubby is embarrassed when people see we have dogs in it. He will not push it because it is pink too. I just tell people they are like my kids. They love the stroller ect and I like doing it and that is that. I really don't mind what anyone says because I do what makes me and my dogs happy. Many people just don't understand.

I second that! I dearly love my babies and to heck what people think.

twalla · 01-02-2008, 05:19 PM

Jen, everyone around here thinks Im nuts! Ive got to where I just roll my eyes at'em, no need to justify their question with an answer. To each their own.

You could say... well you think Im crazy??? then you should meet this one person... .she is nuts!

jsclark · 01-02-2008, 05:56 PM

My puppy Jack is 4 months old, so this holiday season he was introduced to the various family. My husband's family...well, they already thought I was odd, so I guess it doesn't really matter.

At both gatherings, Jack was in either a tee-shirt or a sweater and there was this one particular sister-in-law who was very amused and condescending about it, and rude. She thinks she's smarter and better because she has a college degree and I don't, but she acted like we should just let Jack shiver and be cold. I just wanted to ask her, if you're so much better how come you'd let a puppy be cold? They teach you to be mean and heartless at college?

But I kept quiet and carried my sweet little puppy around, while her kid ran around screaming like a maniac. If taking care of my furbaby makes me crazy, big WHOOP!

1956snowflake · 01-02-2008, 06:15 PM

I just say, he might be just a dog, BUT, there MY DOGS

lopresm · 01-02-2008, 06:28 PM

I find that people enjoy seeing the outfits. In fact, everyone smiles when they see Remi.
If you find you run into those who are negative, don't respond. It's their loss if they don't appreciate Yorkie ways!

By the way, the stroller is a great idea. I have one that looks like a baby stroller and we love to bring it to the beach or just have Remi sit with us on our deck when we read. He is quite comfortable there and loves to lounge with us!

Happy New Year!

Thats awesome! And soooo true! They're the crazy ones for not being able to care for another living thing as much as we care about our babies! I'm feeling much better now...thanks
