Does your Yorkie run your life? (in a good way) - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I'm the same way with Boobie. People tell me I treat my dog better than I treat my kids lol.

Teddie runs mine. He's like a child, needs a lot of help and attention, and believe me...I don't mind giving it. I'm almost done with my degree and my kids are 19 and 16, so they don't neeed me much. Teddie is helping me along with coming to terms with the inevitable empty nest syndrome that I will soon encounter. He's my buddy on my walks, a cuddler in bed, a helper (and by that I mean vacuum) in the kitchen, my laundry sorter (and by that I mean sock grabber and runner), and my tv partner. He truly has added a lot of joy to my life...

Haha sock grabber and runner.. Lulu is the same way... she sees a sock and just runs to get it... and she will get it and run from us and go under the couch. The funny thing is, if we dont pay attention to her, if we dont chase her, she wont run... its like she likes to be chased.

I could say that Monkey runs my life but honestly he is what keeps me sane.

- He jumps for joy and gives me kisses even when I get home from work late.
- If I don't want to get out of bed when my alarm goes off, he doesn't complain, he just nestles in my neck and enjoys the snooze feature on my alarm clock right along with me!.
-When I want to comb him, he happily jumps in my lap and relaxes instead of crying because he has already brushed his hair and what is the matter with the way he looks????
- He never tells me he doesn't want to go with me in the car when the kids need a ride to an activity
- He is always happy to take a walk around the block with me and to just sit and watch the ducks on the lake.
- He never complains about what I made for dinner even when I feet him the same meal day after day, night after night.

Yes, I may have to skip happy hour after work on Friday nights because I need to get home and feed my dog and I may not be able to just go for a girls weekend without a bit of planning. But, WOW is my furbaby worth it!

We adopt these little angels as part of the family.. I loved my little Mel like she was my daughter...

I think dogs beome our obsession, because we choose to make them the center. It is human nature to find something outside ourself to love. And dogs are so easy to love ! Yes they are a biggest part of my life, my four keep me getting up every day.

Maisie has definitely become the center of my life and I love her to pieces. I have a chronic illness and she can sense when I am having a bad day and she gives me extra cuddles and sticks to me like glue to make sure I am okay.

Mom to Hot Rod · 05-24-2011, 09:45 PM

ha, ha, this is totally an understatement!

My life has not been the same since Hot Rod and Maggie May have been in my life. Hubby gets so jealous. One of my most favorite times of the day is bedtime. I have a pillow that I put across my lap and Hot Rod jumps up at 10:00/10:30 and settles down for the night. Maggie will join sometimes or go to her own pillow. They both just settle down for the night and I love stroking them. I can usually get them to turn over so I can give them belly rubs. My heart just melts and I fall more in love with them each day.

I have totally geared my life around these 2 and they are so definitely worth it.

My two boys are grown and out of the house on their own so I too had to adjust to being an empty nester. I was really bothered that no one needed me anymore. When I got Macy she filled the big hole in my heart.
When my kids now visit and the first thing they do is get on the floor and play with her even before they tell me hi.

We are in the process of planning a vacation around her this summer. My husband is totally on board and didn't want to hear anything about boarding her while we were gone.

She has completely taken over our house and I am happy to let her have her way.
