Are Yorkies different?
 
I've been on Yorkie Talk since I first got my baby almost 2 1/2 years ago -- and the devotion of the members to their dogs is so awe-inspiring. I have had dogs before (two toy poodles that were my family dogs growing up), and I loved these dogs dearly and am still heartbroken over losing them. But, the way I feel about my Archie is sooooooo much more passionate than I even felt for those dear pets. Everyone on here (including me) seems to be just mezmerized by their Yorkies. WHAT IS IT about Yorkies that makes them so special? I absolutley ADORE my pup in a way I never thought I could. I can't imagine adoring a child more (I don't have any). It's just really a strong feeling that is sometimes overwhelming! Is it just the Yorkie personlity that inspires such devotion -- or am I just crazy and/or nuerotic? Thanks! :D

You're not crazy at all! I feel the exact same way about my boys. I think it's a combination of a lot of different things. They are a beautiful breed. They have wonderful personalities and are energetic and fun. My boys require more attention than any other breed I've owned. I think yorkies seem to need more nurturing. They are very human like in so many ways....mine seem very child like. They know how to communicate what they want. Also, their faces are so full of expression. I love their little faces and their eyes!:)

I so agree with you!!! I love my Yorkie so so much & he is my life! I do actually have a skinbby, & of course I love her to death, but there's just something about my Yorkie that's really special :) I'm so happy that I decided to get him & bring him into a loving & caring home. Definitely the best decision I've ever made!!!

For me, my pit bull mix trumps all other dgs i've had and will have

she's the first baby i've owned on my own. SHe rocks my world. many mornings she's been my only reason for getting up.

Don't get me wrong, I love slade too, and he'll always be my baby.. but he will never compare to laney.

if your crazy and neurotic then i'm right beside ya hun!!!! Yorkies are definately a different breed ;) I also have never felt so much love, caring and compassion for Koda, Kammie & ^i^ Allie than I have ever felt for any of my other dear pets....notice I can't even bring myself to call the furbutts pets?!?! They're my furbabies and I love them like I love my skin babies!
Call me crazy and I WILL answer you!!!! :)

Jaya and Jenna 05-27-2008 09:33 PM
I am totally with you on this one!!!!

erino77 05-27-2008 09:35 PM
thinking and typing.....
 
just to add some reasoning, as I am sitting here Kammie is snuggled against me so tight I can feel her dreaming! The little twitches, small sweet moans and the fluttering of her eyes as she is sleeping is something I just sit and stare at. And Koda with his precious face laying on my lap in such a sound sleep like he trusts me with his life to protect him now and forever. Such a SWEET SWEET sight the 2 of them. Oh how I love them dearly so deep in my heart. Oh no, hear come the tears, getting emotional now, lol! It's these Yorkies, I tell ya!!:D
And they are sleeping in their matching handmade nighties they got from their GE buddy Paris (2parises) the nighties are blue w/ white cloudes on them.....such a dream they are!

I totally agree with you too, yorkies are more like children than any dogs I've ever had. Are there any other dog sites out there with more members than YorkieTalk, 32,000 members, that alone tells you something.

awwwww I love watching them sleep! I find myself watching mine sleep the same as I did my children when they were growing up.

I find myself getting emotional over my yorkies too. I will be watching them play or sleep and start to get all teary eyed, thinking how lucky I am to have them in my life.:) From the time they wake me up until the time we go to bed, they bring me total joy!:)

ETA: Right now, Jackson is sleeping next to me on the couch. Jake is sitting here staring at me, then looking at my laptop, like "mom, that THING is on my lap again"...lol I LOVE THEM!!!!!

Even my friends say Archie is more like a little boy than a dog! They always remark on his personality!

I forgot to add... my hubby and I got a big hammock today and we where all in it just relaxing and Gracie got in the middle like she ALWAYS does and fell asleep on us... I love how she snores and does the little bark... its sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo FREAKING CUTE!!!

People tell me the same thing about mine. Jackson even puts his leg through the holes himself when I put clothes on him lol

I know how you feel. Today Archie had an little upset tummy and he just crawled on top of me and buried his little face under my arm to sleep. He is SOOOOOOO precious when he does this, and the "snooky baby" sounds he makes and the warmth of his little body next to me is such a good feeling.

Mom to Hot Rod 05-27-2008 10:10 PM
Hot Rod is my first dog ever. I have lived with friends that had dogs but I was not their mom. I do not know life before I got him. I had and LOVED my two cats to no end.

Hot Rod probably was a mill dog and I when I think about how he was bred for money it makes me really sad. I feel as though it is up to me to make his little life as good as it can be. I truly am the lucky one, I am blessed to have been able to have him come into my life. He is just so loving and affectionate that it takes my breath away...I rush home just to spend time with him and I love our walks and playtime. I love how he greets me when I come home and all the kisses and hugs I get.

My favorite part of the day is just before bed. We snuggle on the couch and he falls asleep in my lap. Sometimes I go to bed shortly after that, other times I just stay and hold him for awhile. I just can't believe how a 3 lb ball of fur can turn me into such a bowl of jello. I love him to absolute pieces!
