They just don't get it! Need to vent to those that do...

Oh, also, I wanted to add, I dont really usually give ppl examples for names, simply because I think that ppl should pick something really close to them, or something that means something they can appreciate. But I can show you where I use...

Baby Names World

This is where I go, and there you can put in Meanings and they will give you names with that meaning, and you can also do advanced searches that you can put in a meaning, and put letters youd like the name to start with, end with, have in it... Its really a great search, even by where the name is originated from.

I really just wanted another name like Roxy's that had an X in it, so I put in that I wanted a name containing the letter X, and Alexis came up, and I love that, and I love Lexi for short. So, it really is a great search engine and I urge you to check it out. It has my seal of approval... and Roxy and Lexi's too.

he believed you My hubby is a masochist, he likes pain. I tell him he should make it easy on himself and accept the manager's decisions early on since it's gonna get done anyway. But, no, he wants to know

So, while he hyperventilated, for Nini I started making plans for a top-notch Hawaiian vacation and told him that if I had a fur-baby I wouldn't be able to go.
For Nicky, I took him to a car dealership, I pointed to the $40k+ Lexus I wanted and told him to make a choice and make it snappy--the Biewer or the Lexus. One of them WILL come home with me He chose my baby-Biewer, of course! A lot cheaper too. Drastic measures...a mommy's gotta do what a mommy's gotta do for her fur-butts

Do what you have to do for you and they'll come around, if not...tough. They'll have to accept your decisions and move on.

His breeder is awesome, just got off the phone with her. She only breeds a few litters a week, once kept a female pup until she was 5 months old as she was too small to leave mom, knew all the conditions that Yorkie's have, does genetic testing before she breeds and has never had a liver shunt baby or a luxating patella. This dog is for sale for $1100, already discounted $1500. She is selling him because he has gotten too large to breed with her females.

My family has been all for me getting a 2nd dog, has helped me look, and come with me to look at possible new family members. Until I said I was going to get a Yorkie, full blood, reputable breeder, and that it would cost. Now that they know I am planning to spend $1100 they are freaking out. I am getting calls from my brother saying that "seems like too much, you're an idiot to spend $1100 on a DOG. It's just a dog!" He says I am getting ripped off. I was able to come to this site and prove to him that I am NOT and that most Yorkie's are in fact MORE, but he still doesn't get it. He searches the internet and finds them for $200-$300 and thinks that should be good. He doesn't understand the difference between a puppy mill and a breeder.

My mother won't even talk to me now, even though she was the one who WANTED me to do this from the first place. My dad is still ok, and is going to make the 4 hour each way trip with me on Sat. if I decide it's a go. I am SO tired of being called stupid for spending money the way I want to! Yes, I am willing to spend a grand on a well bred, well socialized, happy pure bred dog. I spent $350 for Oliver, and while he is the love of my life, he is hard work! Skittish, scared of men, untrusting, the list goes on and on. I said to my brother that people are different, I will spend a grand on a dog, but I would NOT have spent 3 grand on a snowmobile like he did. We all spend money on things we enjoy. A snowmobile will never love you like a Yorkie will.

Someone please tell me I am not insane. Someone please tell me they get it! Yes, it's a lot of $ when I should be spending it on things like a car, my loan, etc. But Oliver is miserable without another dog, and when I adopted him I made him a promise to do whatever it took to make him happy. This dog will make me happy, too!

The picture is of the little guy that I truly hope will soon be mine...

Tell your brother to piss off! If you want to mail me privately, I would be happy to tell you how much I spent on my yorkie's. It's downright embarrasing! But, I have never regretted a single cent.
