Does anyone else feel this way, or do i need to have my mental health evaluated

[MI Yorkielover]

Yes, I too am captivated with our Sophie. Sometimes I just hold her and marvel at her sweetness. Yorkies are such loving little ones and willingly give back all the love they get ten times over. Everyone has expressed their feelings so well that I could "quote" you all.

This is my first post, but it is good to hear someone say how much they love their Yorkie. My little girl Mitzy is one year old and I love her so much. I worry about her all the time and I kept thinking is this normal? Thanks so much! Also I want to say thank you for all your great posts, you have answered a lot of questions for the first time yorkie mom.

WELCOME TO YORKIETALK

Oh, just noticed you joined some time ago...glad you posted

Well I have no clue if it is 'normal', but it appears you are definitely in very good company - myself included .

I actually thought I was the strange one feeling that way and attributed it to not being able to have children.... low and behold - that had nothing to do with it

Sooooo, if mental health appointments need to be made, I wonder if they will take group appointments... very LARGE group appointments

I wish more people thought like I did... I see both of my boys as more then "Just Dogs" I infact am getting sooo tired of hearing that. Whenever I talk about them, or act toward them I always hear from someone, "Ange they are just dogs." I am like yea does that make their lives anymore less important? My family wants to go on vacation in April and I am torn with what to do with my boys. The last time we went away Rocky was a bad boy and spraied all over this ladies house, he has since been fixed so I hope that doesn't happen again. I doubt I would use her again, she would probably see my phone number and run screaming from the phone, lol. But my babies mean the world to me and since I can't have childern they mean all the more to me. Thanks for starting this topic I love it!!

I just wanted to know if anyone else has these same feelings about their babies. I have always had pets in my life and I have always loved them, but this is different. I just want to see if anyone else out there is like me or do I need to go in for psychiatric help. I want the truth and I can take it if you do think I am crazy or is this just normal Yorkie mommy behavior.

You are not alone!!

[JERSEY BOY]

OMG I feel the same way. I saw this thread earlier today at work and I just wanted to shout but my co workers would not understand. Jersey is the sweetest boy ever!!!!!

[nanny4679]

I feel the same way about my Fancy..Believe it or not my husband that didn't use to like dogs calls her his baby..lol!!!!

[MaddiesMommie]

You are certainly not alone. I refer to Maddie and Cooper as 'my girls' when talking about them to anyone else. I have embarrased my mom many times when I have to tell someone they are Yorkies if she is out with me and I mention 'my girls'. I have gotten used to the "You're crazy lady" looks. That's what they are to me, not just dogs, thier my baby girls.

I once told my co-workers when they wanted to go somewhere after work "I have to go home and let my girls out." One lady thought I was talking about...uh...my other girls (b**bs!) haha We still laugh at that one.

150% NORMAL!!! I feel like there is no number that can measure how much I love my Lucky!!!! My DH loves him too ....but I 'LOOOOVEEEE' him........I keep telling myself that it's going to be a sad day ....the day my baby has to leave me forever! I really don't know how people cope with losing their babies!!!

[Gennies]

I loved reading everyone's posts!!!! This is exactly why I love YT!!!! We all connect with each other because we all feel the same about our babies!!!

I have to share a quick story, earlier this week I took my 17 yo daughter to open a checking account and took Bijou in with me...well one of the tellers comes over to us and says, "Oh, I see you brought your pet." I was so offended by this statement. I've never had someone call her a "pet" before. I covered Bijou's ears and said to the lady, that she was not a pet she is my baby. The tell looked at me like I was insane and I eyeballed her back daring her to make another comment. Which she didn't The lady that helped us open my daughter's account was so sweet to Bijou, she told her all about her bull mastiff and how much she loved her baby too! Seems we all connect when we're true animal lovers

When I left there, I took Bijou into our city hall building to get her city license...I thought I dare them to kick us out, after all we're paying for her license. To my surprise they all loved all over her. Thanks for the fun thread!!!!

[jadabug]

I want to thank each and everyone who posted to my thread. I knew I loved YT and this is one reason why. You are all so sweet and I feel so much better knowing I am not alone in the way I feel. You are all so awesome
