Is your Yorkie treated better than some kids?

[Sydney'sMom]

Uh yeah!

Syd's birthday is in 2 weeks and already I have her presents wrapped and waiting. She is getting 6 toys and some new fleece blankets. Now if that isn't spoiled...then I don't know what is. Plus she has more clothing than some people do. But she deserves it.

LOL my fiance, Eric, said the other day that Crunchy has it better than us! haha he said playing around that soon enough we'll be wearing torn old clothes while Crunchy jumps around in tons of fancy clothes!! i guess he is pretty spoiled
Eric, parents (Crunchy's grandparents) spoil him just as much! Because he's the closest thing they have to a grandchild for now! they're always asking us when we're gonna hurry up and get married and give them grandkids.



...and Mustangbee you are truly an angel! it is so great to hear that your kids have been given the chance to have such a wonderful life thanks to you! my heart just melted reading your "I wish you were my mommy" story

For her life is just an eternal sunshiny (I hope) today and it's fine to indulge her as long as I don't make her too difficult to live with and teach her the basic things that "civilized" dogs need to know. So I do indulge MYSELF by spoiling her in ways that I couldn't with my son because I had his spiritual and psychological welfare to consider.

Very well said!

My husband says I have my two little furbabies because my real babies are teenagers and I need something to "mother". AND the good part is that Yorkies don't give you mean looks, attitude,threaten to run away, ask for money all the time....or maybe they do.LOL

Sad, but true. My yorkie is my baby! My children are grown, and Munchie has filled the empty nest syndrome. No more sharing - she's it! Not that I don't give and do for others, I do, but my baby is really spoiled.

Yes it's sad but so true. There are so many kids that would love to have are dogs life.

Our Yorkie behaves better than most kids and deserves to be treated as such.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker: Hire a teenager -- while they still know everything.

Later I gave them both a lamb's ear to chew on. Of course, they fought over them. The other one looked so much better than what they had.
Our dogs live in a climate controlled home. They are always warm in the winter and cool in the summer. One sleeps in our bed with velour blankets,etc. (the other is too hyper and is crated at night, but he has nice soft towels that are changed every few days. They nap on the leather couches. They eat very well and get plenty of treats, and have oodles of toys. Their toys are all over my family room floor every evening when they get them out to play. I love to bring them new toys home because they get so exited.
Some children don't have it as good as our dogs. That is sad but true. Working for the school system, I see children who are neglected. Not abused, but not taken care of the way I took care of my children. Not even as well as I take care of my dogs.

I would do anything for my chester boy, he has at least 20 toys, several outfits, a pad to lay on in the car, premium dog food royal canin, good treats, sleeps with me, and his own travel bag whem we go on road trips and free run on my apartment when I go to work, the only way to have a dog spoil it rotten......
