Things I thought I'd never do until I got a Yorkie - Page 7 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

WILLINGLY getting out of bed at 2.30 because Fynnlie needs to tinkle. Even if it's 28 degrees outside.

A first for me:
Talking baby "woobie wewh" to a doggie

That's the big one at my house. My boyfriend laughs everytime. He thinks I love them more than him (he might be a little right but just microscopic ... I PROMISE)

MidnightUnicorn · 11-11-2010, 02:32 PM

I agree -- great thread. I relate to many of the posts.

Here are some of mine:

1. Brushing a tiny dog's teeth twice a day.
2. Home cooking dog meals
3. Wearing a front pack carrier daily. It's like a kangaroo pouch, and Tatiana is in it, sticking her head out.
4. Paying for the pet fees for airline flights, i.e. flying with my dog. Also, her travel luggage is BIGGER than mine. She has more belongings that I do.

5. I clean my floors more often because I think it's more sanitary for Tatiana. She's tiny and close to the ground, so I want the floors clean.

The list goes on, but I'll stop here.

How about this? Our grown children are jealous of out Yorkie, Daisy. We have told them that she is now first on our Will, so they might want to start being a little nicer to their "sister", because they will be having to come to come to Daisy for their inheritance.

LOL I was just telling my adult daughter last night that she's gonna get kicked out of her room to make room for Bijou's furniture, didn't think to say this! OMG She's gonna dye LOL Too funny!!!!!

Trimming bum hair, washing his face and brushing his teeth regularly, picking out eye snot.
Giving up a large section of my living room for his rug and toys to provide him his own comfy space.

Lou · 11-14-2010, 11:02 AM

Here's mine!

Drive 40 miles to the groomer my doggies love instead of finding a new one close to where we live now.

Carry Skeeter the rest of the way home because he gets tired half-way through there walk.

Sneek a dog into Walgreens because I refused to leave her in the car.

Admit to being a crazy dog lady when my co-workers call me one.

Bring one more yorkie into the house because she needs a home.

Fall in love with all the yorkies on YT.

Consider people on a message board friend. Honestly! I love the people I have met here and some of them are really special to me!

And oh yeah, I can say I do all of the ones listed by everyone! Sigh. I'm hooked.

Lil Sis · 11-14-2010, 03:11 PM

I have done almost everyone on all the list. Sleep with three dogs, plan outings so the dogs are not home too long when I can't take them(they NEED their walks!!), watching my husband being wrapped around one little 3 1/2 pound girl's paw - and he only likes BIG dogs (right)

But... the one I will add to the list.

I post more pictures of my Remy, Bailey and Sammy on Facebook that I do of my humane family. I say the reason is because they don't threaten me to take the pictures off like my girls do lol

Kadance · 04-06-2012, 01:03 AM

I love this thread

Things I thought I'd never do?
- Buy a dog this many toys
- Buy a dog a jumper more expensive than I would buy for myself (lol)
- Let him sleep in my arms like a baby and try not to wake him, even if I need the toilet
- Get up an hour earlier when I hate the mornings to walk him
- Worry at even the smallest thing, like hiccups! I didn't know what they were the first time he had them
- Love him more than I thought I could love a little, furry beast

Awwwww x

Jennyms319 · 04-06-2012, 04:30 AM

There are to many things to list that I thought I wouldn't do....but I never in a millions years ever thought I would see my husband give a belly zerbert to our Yorkie!!!

I can relate to this one also!!

ashley_ · 04-06-2012, 06:28 AM

OMG I am so glad this thread was brought back up! I just sat and read all of it! Because my babies woke me up early fighting over who got to lay closest to me

(not something they do often, they normally let me sleep as late as I like, which is probably my favorite thing about them)
I'll add some/repeat some that are big for me.
-Have a litter box/pee pad for my dogs in the house (which allow me to sleep later because they don't need to go out, so part of that is for me?)
-I always liked dog clothes but when I was little we usually had big outside dogs with lots of fur so clothes weren't very practical. Now I find them very practical because they get cold

but mostly because they are cute.
-Look through baby sections at stores for preemie/new born t-shirt/dresses. (which are really hard to find without the onsie buttons)
-MAX out ALL of my credit cards (including applying for new ones to max out) for my 3.5lb baby to have LP surgery AS SOON as I found out she needed it.
-Fighting with my BF about NEEDING to buy dog clothes.
-Him telling me they don't need clothes when we are in the baby section and I am looking for a polo shirt. Then telling him that Somi needs clothes because she gets cold. And wouldn't you rather she was wearing a neutral colored polo shirt if you take her somewhere instead of a frilly pink dress. And him saying well either way she'll be adorable.......all I had to say was my point was proven.

[sad to say they didn't have a polo small enough, I'm still on the lookout though]
-Have to agree SOO much about not going out because I need to stay home with my "babies"
-I used to get mad at my mom for calling "my replacement" (she got a maltese after I went to college) my sister. No I call her my yorkies "Angel" (my nephew gave her the grandma name Angel becaue it thought it was funny to not say what we wanted him to). And I call her dogs my sisters and their aunts.

And many more things that were already mentioned that I can totally relate to!!
