Now he will still deny that he really likes her, but I tell you what when we went to Las Vegas (myself and Bridget) he asked daily how she was doing, and brought her treats and a toy when he picked us up at the airport. I dont know what the yorkie magic is, but I am grateful for it.

Ohhh...that is just the sweetest!!!

We have always had pets so I have always been the one to take care of most of them. even when I was very young. But I have to say I feel a lot more love for my Yorkies.

SoCalyorkiLvr · 09-29-2005, 06:47 PM

Well, I have to say that I have been a major dog person all my life. I had poodles and shepherds growing up and I have owned rotties, mixes, and a westie now as an adult. I obedience trained all my dogs as a child and even showed them in obedience trials. I also train my dogs now.

I always wanted a yorkie but heard that children could hurt them so I waited until my kids were older before getting one. I had talked all these friends of mine into getting yorkies so when I finally got Hefner he had a built in palygroup and he still does cuz I couldn't stop at one and we now have four in the family.

I would definitely say I am an addict!!

These little guys can grab your heard. There are so many things that make me adore him:

1)The way he looks at me when I get home at work. His reaction shows that he is so happy to see me.

2) When I ask a question, he tilts his head back and forth

3) When he plays like crazy and then runs up to give me a kiss and goes back to what he was doing

4) The way my husband has become after getting Stomper. My husband loves our dog so much. We don't have children yet, but I know what kind of father he will be if he treats our dog like one!

5) The way he stretches out his back legs all the way back and looks up at me (and just sits there!)

Too many! I can go on and on!

I bought my first yorkie 5 years ago for my wife on Valentines Day. I wouldn't have a dog in the house up until she started asking for a yorkie. Well it didn't take long and I was in love with the yorkie bred. Well it's been 5 years and we now have 9 yorkies and 1 yorkie-poo. I can't image life without them.

I know I really am not a dog person either I am more of a cat person. Yorkies are special and I am so glad everyday that i got one. I fell in love with the look of the puppies but I love my near adult dogs.

dianne · 09-30-2005, 10:49 AM

I just loved reading every single post.I could relate to each and everyone.It only takes that one special dog to get you hooked for life.

Yorkie Owned · 09-30-2005, 11:03 AM

I am an animal lover by nature, but my yorkies are like my children! Even my skin kids get jealous over the way I treat my babies.
My husband was always a "big dog" guy- we raised Boxers for years. But once he experienced life with a yorkie, he will never be the same! He treats them just like children also. (this just cracks me up...) he will refer to himself as "daddy" when talking to them!

I find that so funny and endearing at the same time. To hear such a manly-man baby talking a dog! He even does that in front of other people- now that is a serious case of puppy- love!!!

jwash · 09-30-2005, 02:35 PM

I liked dogs as pets, not children, until I got Chloe and Lacey. Now I don't want to go on vacation unless they go and forget leaving the house for longer than 2-3 hours, I just know they miss us. My babies are adored, my grown up kids can't believe it.

I am totally and helplessly in love with this little guy. I had absolutely no idea that I could be so gaga over this little baby!!!!!

What IS it about Yorkies that can just so completely and totally grab your heart.

Whatever it is - I

Rowdy!!!

We have always been dog people. I've always had dogs. My mom & dad use to raise Peks, even though my mom did all of the work. I can't ever remember not having a dog no matter where I lived. I guess the only time was the year I was away at college. That's it.

Back when I was in high school (many years ago) I saw an older lady with a Yorkie named Violet and have wanted one ever since. They were not as popular back then and hard to find. My husband got me a Shih-tzu one year for Christmas (named her Holly) but I could never really get attached. Then we moved into an apartment and gave her away. Then we built a house and we got a Boston Terrier (Petey). He was cute when he was small but then he grew up. So for my 41st birthday I bought myself my first Yorkie. She was the cutest thing. Her name is Tiny Zoe Poo (Zoe). I am still in love with her and she is 6 years old. That same year around Christmas we went to the pet store and they had some yorkies. When we went back there was only one little boy left and I couldn't stand to see him there all alone so we bought him and took him home. His name is Charlie's Bitty Bear (Bailey). He will be 6 on Halloween. They give me great joy and keep me company when my husband is gone hunting. We have had two litters of pups but they have all died. I don't think Zoe knew what to do. Bailey fathered a litter with another female. We had him neutered when we didn't want to try for more puppies. Then earlier this year Zoe had to have a hysterectomy. I was really worried about her because she was really sick before the surgery, then I had to leave her over night which I had never done. Things worked out okay. Sorry this is so long. I get carried away

I was wondering the same thing...

We've had family pets in the past and loved them dearly but there is something so special about the love from my yorkies, nothing compares
