Since you got your yorkie, what have you given up?

[QuickSilver]

Oh, there is definitely one thing I've given up - HOT BREAKFASTS! If Thor smells something cooking, he immediately jumps off my bed and runs to the kitchen. At that point, I have 5 minutes before he relieves himself, so I have to rush to let him out. When I get back... breakfast isn't hot anymore. I've decided it's easier to have cereal.

Oh, and:
l've given up most of the rooms in my apartment. Thor and I are in potty training boot camp right now, so I've moved my entire life to the living room until Thor learns how to use the bell I got for him.

I dont think Ive given up anything except bed and couch space. I love My yorkies but we still go places and go on vacations. I keep the house clean but did that before them also. I home cook for mine a couple times a week but it doesnt take very much time and I am used to homecooking for my family.

I've given up;
coming home to an empty house...
watching scary movies alone...
not having someone to tell my troubles to (that will never repeat them)
not knowing if I have someone that will never leave me (of his own free will)
walking alone
sleeping alone


and multiple other things I certainly don't miss!


I'll take my yorkie anytime!

mostly going out for long periods of time. I have given up part of my bed. I have change my sleeping habits( cant move, couse she sleeps on my tommy, sometimes right on my neck under my chin, and some privacy (cant close doors behind her, couse she goes crazy)

I have given up buying for my closet . Now it goes for mollys closet. But with those big brown eyes looking at me oh she is so worth it. Also part of my chair she just can`t get close enough. Aren`t they just adorable??

[Keely_momma]

I would trade all my material things to keep my baby! lol..

Another thing i forgot about was. When I get a bit of extra money, instead of buying something special for myself. I ussually speand it on keely. Ahhh, I love my dog.


If i started a thread about how much I have GOTTEN from having a dog, I would be here all day writing it out! So, i wont even start.

But i will say this. I am no longer depressed (yes I was depressed, Until I got keely.) Nothing heals the heart like puppy kisses! lol

I agree 100%. I dont think I've given up anything other than bed space. Wait....does the pair of eye glasses she ate the other day count??

Pretty much just sleeping in. I used to sleep in 'til 10 or 11... now, for some odd reason, I have a Yorkie sitting her little ham butt on my head licking me EVERY MORNING. Love it though!!!

[Yorkiekids]

I've given up half of my bed, and my favorite blanket. It's a wooly blanket, and when the see me take it out they all jump on the bed before I can even get in.

I'm pretty lucky because I live with my grandparents and they love and spoil Callie almost as much as me so if I need some extra sleep or something they will watch her or if I go to the store or something they will watch her. She really loves to curl up in her little chair next to my grandpa's chair early in the morning and go back to sleep while he is reading his paper. But I normaly dont buy myself that much any more mostly spend all my money on my baby happily. Oh yes room space lol her soft doggy house, her extra large pillow, some bedroom toys and her dresser/closet.

i haven't given up anything really... chris & my babies get all my time & i still get to shop but i look at more puppy stuff now for riley & maddie. we all watch movies and tv together, they lay on the bed with us or play with each other when we're all on the bed. we all take naps/sleep together too! lol i loveeeee my little family :P

I've given up sleeping in, or sleeping at all for that matter. I can't have normal dogs and just let them outside to run around, no, they find an escape route and sneak to the front door and bark to come back in. I've given up peace and quiet in the house because right now I have four pups and my two adult doggies. I can't travel on a plane, or at all for that matter because I would have to tote around 7 dogs. I won't leave them in the kennel because they hate me when I do that. I am now obsessed for some reason with buying a million different kinds of dog treats, thus have gave up my money.. lol.. I've given up my sanity at times as my friends think I'm crazy for having all these dogs.. Given up new carpet as Lilly refuses to poop outside, instead does it in the basement where we just hand nice, new berber carpet installed. I've given up every fleece blanket in the house plus about 10 more that I've bought here and there for them... Mostly my time is what i've given up. I currently don't work and i don't see how I ever could right now. Getting up at 7 am to let the dogs out, giving pups worming meds for 14 days, putting lillys eye drops in (she decided to get pink eye last weekend), keeping her away from pups until her pink eye goes away, feeding pups, feeding mom, feeding griffen who are all on different foods, not to mention I have four cats. One has UTI problems, one has hairball problems, ones a kitten and the other one just eats everything in sight, thus, they all get different foods as well. Blah, ok i'm rambling.. But I definately have given up alot, but wouldn't change it for the world. Needless to say, its a small zoo around here and keeps you on your toes.

I raised 2 great kids so when I got Roxy I didn't have much to give up....I do keep the house cleaner but where we go she goes. I think I got more back than anything. She made my heart grow !!!!!
