Unfortunately...just like with children...they don't have to have a license to be a parent. There should be at least some kind of common sense clause to having children and any kind of living breathing pet.

Ugh! I was watching that show "It's me or the dog" last night, and there were three seperate cases of extremely overweight dogs. One was a Chihuahua that was supposed to be between 2-6 pounds, but was a whopping 11 pounds!! The trainer proceeded to say how sad it was since obesity is a "human" problem, not a "dog" problem. The owners gave him all kinds of fattening treats, along with table scraps of all types (his favorite being Indian food!) As if this wasn't bad enough, this poor dog was given grapes, candy, and even chocolate!! The saddest part of all is these people think they are being so "nice" to their dogs, but in reality, they are slowly killing them. So sad!!

No doubt.
Yeah this lady was all, are your yorkies as tiny as mine and I am thinking my yorkies are nothing like yours, they have teeth and are well groomed.
Then she went on and on how expensive yorkies are and almost insisting to know what I paid and how I afforded it...um, a - none of your business, b - I have a job.
Nutty.
