My Friends say I am CRAZY! UGH! First, a little about me. I don't have kids, I am married to a person who equally loves animals. I am a Pet Sitter (www.callmepetsitter.com), so when I am not with my fur babies, i am with someone's dog, cat, horse, etc. I love my job because I am doing what I am most passionate about.....loving animals! This past week, I took Baxter and Bayleigh to Happy Hour at Three Dog Bakery. :thumbup: I mentioned it to my friends, both on the phone and Facebook, and they ALL said, "I have gone too far & I am crazy". (their exact words). However, half of them mistreat their animals, I don't mean beat them, but they will leave them outside, not bathe them, feed them crap, never take them for walks & then get mad at them when they do something wrong. I realize the needs of dogs. They need constant stimulating & they need to be exercised & played with as much as possible. Our dogs (my babies) have their own bedroom. When I am not with them, they are playing with their toys, or they are watching Animal Planet (yes my dogs watch tv). :D I miss out on a lot of things with my friends because I don't want to constantly leave my animals home alone. I am OK with that, but again they make cracks, "Dana is the crazy dog lady and she won't be here." :aimeeyork Now, I go out to dinner with them, but I don't feel the need for constant bar hopping, geez....I am 37 years old. My husband is in a softball league and he understands that I can't make every game because that would mean leaving our babies for a few hours alone. Anyway, I am SICK and TIRED of my so called friends saying I am crazy. WHY? Because I don't have snotty nosed kids that scream when they dont get their way? Why am I weird because I dont have a desire to have children (atleast rightnow, and who knows if I ever will)? It is getting to the point that my friends make me ill because they can't keep their mouths shut! If you think I spend too much time with my animals, keep it to yourself. I am not interfering with YOUR world. UGH. Anyway, sorry that this is so long. I just have to ask my YT Family, AM I crazy? lol :p www.healthyhappypets.biz |
OH....and the fact that my babies have "wardrobes" sends them into a tizzy! hahahahahaha |
You sound perfectly normal to me :)!!!!!!! People who don't understand the love for an animal will never understand the things we do for our furkids. Mine also have an entire closet full of wardrobe. I, also, will not leave them for long periods of time and take them with me whenever I can. I can tell you that I have met some incredible people because of my girls. I know these folks will be lifelong friends because we all share our love (and perhaps insanity) for these loves of our lives!!!!!! And, I now have many more "yorkie" friends than I do other friends and would rather spend my time with my yorkie friends!!!! |
:D YAY!!! Last night, Baxter went outside and walked through some mud....the sprinklers had been on for too long. So, he comes in the house and starts jumping up on the tub. My baby wanted a bath!!! :p If I told my friends about that, they would think I was T Totally Insane. (ok maybe a little) hehe |
l've come to the conclusion that not everyone are dog nurturers or really love dogs that they even have. l love Rockie and the things l buy and do for him people say the same thing about me. Well, thats ok, Rockie is so loved and he knows and so does everyone else. Their going to talk and tease anyway.:rolleyes: |
My family thinks I am down right nuts because of the way I spoil my little Bella. But hey she likes it :p lol. Thankfully, my one of my closest friends is an animal fanatic as well. And I do mean fanatics...we snuck her poodle into the dorms when we were Sophomores in college and hid her for the entire year. :cool: We also got 4 ducks during our junior year when we were living in our apartment. LOL! And today we are going to pick up two little poodle girls for her if all goes well for the little girls at the vet! :) So you are totally NORMAL! Well as normal as I am anyway :p. I'm sure you will find more friends that share your intense (not crazy ;)) love of animals. We're everywhere...just look at how many of us are on YorkieTalk!:) |

I know what you mean! Bayleigh is so prissy. She never gets in to anything. WELL, except for paper! She will tear up any paper she sees, and can find all paper that doesnt make it to the trash can. haha She is a mess, but then she goes right back to walking prissy etc. She even raises her left leg when she is at the bowl to eat! haha |
If your crazy then count me in :p People think I am crazy all the time. I love animals just like you and I am really contemplating a career with animals. I love to help animals and take care of them. Personally I find my animals better friends then ANY of my skin friends, besides my fiancee, he is my best friend! I don't go out much besides working and visiting family. I always bring my dogs with me. I also like to make sure they are warm and are getting loving attention! I am moving to a bigger house with more space for the heck of my dogs and my daughter of course! I had to make sure the yard was big enough for everyone to play! My mom thinks I'm nutty for wanting to dress up a dog but hey I believe sometimes they need it to keep warm! I also love children and I have always gotten along great with animals and children, they all love me! |

I love kids too! I will babysit my friends kids, but what is great....I get to send em back home! Of course they all love me because they get to play with puppies! hehe There is a real need for good Pet Sitters, that truly love animals. If you ever get interested, let me know! I would be happy to help you get started-by sharing my knowledge!! :o) |

Thanks that would be awesome! I know theres lots of pet lovers out there and I just enjoy being with animals! I did volunteering at our shelter but I was wanting to bring all the poor babies home!! I got bit by a cat there and went into shock from it for a min lolol that still didn't stop me heheh |
I've come to learn that if it makes you happy (and your babies) and it's not hurting anybody who cares what other people think. I've never understood why people feel the need to voice their opinions on something when it doesn't affect their lives in any way. I think it's awesome that you have something to enrich your life and make you happy whether it be furbabies or skin babies :). Also, I'm jealous of your pet sitting job :p I would loooove to do that! |

I dont see how any of that makes your crazy! :rolleyes: You're just a normal dog lover, nothing wrong with that! If my friends said that about me, they wouldnt be my friends for long! :eek: And whereabouts in Texas are ya?? Sounds like you need some YORKIE friends :) |
