"Oh, you have a sissy dog!!!!!!!!!!" - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

vermurle · 03-22-2010, 10:15 AM

the reaction i get when i tell them i have a yorkie is.."oh...you got a little dog..."
but then they meet hime, and realize that he isn't a yippy little ankle bitter that shakes when its standing still and runs from everything that moves...then they think he's pretty cool.
people like paris hilton give little dogs bad names...or maybe dumb people that buy the little dog thinking it won't be any work at all...but then end up with a disaster of a dog.

Mine comes to work with me and guess who picks her up all of the time and whose laps I find her sitting on?

IMO...REAL MEN walk Yorkies!

It probably says more about your co-worker than about you if thats his attitude. In the u.k yorkies were once considered a 'little old ladies' dog. Now you get the wanna-be models after the smaller the better pups, sometimes I wish it had stayed the other way around. My sister calls Rosie an ankle biter but only in jest, she pretends not to but even she admires how spunky she is, on a walk with her 2 cocker spaniels little 5.5lb Rosie will keep up with her two. She's just learning to stay out of reach of fast moving bigger paws and she doesn't fetch, but she loves the chase. Alfie doesn't do charging around so sis has labeled him a 'ladyboy', but then he doesn't do mud or dirt or streams either. He just likes to stay looking 'good'.

My husband takes Bobo with him almost every where he goes. He is a greeter at the office. Everyone calls him the Fufu dog man. My husband loves our babies.. He calls my babies So Precious... heck he never calls me that! haha... really is a wonderful man.. even though he has a fufu dog. Its not the dog that makes the man .. its the man that makes the dog! So... my furbaby is a MAN! haha.. He lets them sleep with him.. Bobo sleeps on his shoulder.. so just turn your head an laugh at them!

Put a tiny Smokey the Bear Hat and sunglasses on your Yorkie, and take him for a Harley Ride!

Thank you for your service!

Having visited the fantastic USMC museum at Quantico, I learned that there is no such thing as a *former* Marine.

I took my 10-year old nephew there last summer and we enjoyed it so much we went back a second time. Of course, he liked the laser simulated rifle range the most. We also met "Chesty," one of the bulldog mascots and had our picture taken with him.

Maximo, thanks for the kind words. I was stationed at Quantico for OCS and TBS for almost a year. Seems like yesterday. Va. is one of my favorite states as I am a Civil War buff. Spent a lot of time in Fredericksburg, Richmond, Manassas, and who can forget beautiful Traingle and Dumphries! Had an apartment in Woodbridge. The area around Quantico sure is a lot different when I was there. Really built up. I will never forget a night class we were crossing Beaver Dam Run, and a beaver stuck his head up from the wood and but my boot! Not a nice feeling. Ah, the good old days.

I was back there for a Reunion and we did the Museum. It is one terrific place to visit.

The beaver was just defending his territory, lol.

Northern Virginia has grown considerably. When I lived in McLean near the CIA, it was a small, woodsy crossroads. Now the track from DC to Fredericksburg to Richmond is almost fully developed.

Virginia is definitely a state to keep history lovers busy.

My husband is 6' 8" tall and has no qualms at all walking Hawkeye. His family had a yorkie when he was growing up, and he was the one who talked me into getting one! I have to say they make a cute pair walking down the street. Just to add to the macho factor, Hawkeye is named after our favorite University of Iowa Hawkeye football team.....so I guess that makes him one MANLY pup!!

Sookie · 03-22-2010, 03:18 PM

My husband was an MP dog trainer (GSD) in the Army. A tough guy, lol. He adores all four of our Yorkies and kisses and holds them and calls them pet names. And he doesn't care who knows it!

susanandsteven · 03-22-2010, 03:27 PM

Us guys like to walk our cute lil Furbutts cause they are chick magnets hahahaha.
Ever wonder bout the guys that took home economics in high school , thats where all the girls are

I love our lil guy and negative coments make me laugh at their ignorance .

lrichardsonrnc · 03-22-2010, 03:53 PM

Co-worker is a Gerkin pickle. He wouldn't make a gnat on my Marine's butt.

Krystee · 03-22-2010, 04:38 PM

I don't get men like that. My hubby (Air Force veteran) loves Tobie as much as I do and he even brags about him as much! Also, my hubby's best friend, who was also in the Air Force, just moved back to SC after he got out of the military and decided to get a Yorkie because he has loved all the Yorkies he's known. He's a 26 year old, single guy whose favorite things are football and video games and he is so proud of his new Yorkie. Never did it cross his mind that Yorkies are a sissy dog and he should get a "big" dog.
Plus, anyone who says Yorkies are sissy dogs have obviously never met one. I think most of them have no fear! Tobie is much braver than my 20+ lb Cocker Spaniel who is afraid of everything. LOL

I agree, my DH loves to walk our dogs and gets comments all the time about them not being real dogs. He just responds they look like real dogs to me, or they poop like real dogs. He loves our babies and will even carry them around the house.
