No one told me teaching new tricks would bring me such pride and joy

That they know when someone isnt home and should be (yest was working late and she would not rest or sleep til i got home)

That they can be picky little eaters, she even seperated kibble and helped me learn which one she likes better

That innocent look in their eyes can warm your soul on your worst day

lola does this when we are parked lol!!!

lol This is all so cute.

I was always a cat person. But this little Yorkie girl has me loving dogs. :D

I never knew I wouldn't mind cleaning a furry butt and stinky gunky eyes. lol

My son just stepped into a "surprise" last night while getting into the shower. Instead of grossing out, he thought it was hilarious. lol

I shed a lot so we have this problem with Geno hahah funniest is when I make my boyfriend pull it out cause I don't want to touch it. It's my hair but he has to deal with the aftermath with the dog :) I do feel bad for Geno though cause anytime this happens, he runs around with poop hanging from his butt and crying.

No one told me about the "cling ons" due to me having long hair:rolleyes::eek:, and the fact that it's terrifying her. Sometimes she'll start walking so fast & be jerking around, but it's not obvious why so I think something's really wrong. I'll go to check her for pain, etc. & find something else!:eek:

No one told me I'd love her so much I'd do anything to keep her safe & happy, regardless of the consequences for me.

Yes, I did read they follow you, but I never knew I'd never get to close the bathroom door again...which does make her mad when we have company.

Omg mine does that too!! hahahah That is too funny!

I never knew I would be buying "baby wipes" again in BULK for little moments like you had with Scarlett.:D

Or, that I would be coming on YT to find out where the poops went and why Bella:animal36Boo's breath wasn't smelling so sweet...and how to stop her appetite for her new found delicacy...:eek:...gag!

Or, that I would be talking so much baby talk...after having an empty nest!

Or, that I would buy 3 car seats for their traveling safety, comfort & of course so, that they can look out their windows in the back seat to do their own "back seat driving"...lol! :aimeeyork:aimeeyork:aimeeyork

Or, that I would make sure I stopped to get their food above all else on my list of things to do.

Or, that I would put their grooming needs above mine...they are groomed weekly and I get my hair done every 8-10 weeks!:rolleyes:

Or, that they would take over my lingerie chest with drawers of their own for ALL their clothes!

Or, that my patience would be tried time and time again...only to be suckered in with that cute tilt of their heads that just seem to be saying, "huh?"..."what, me?"..."I didn't do that!"..."she did it!":rolleyes::D

Those are just a few off the top of my head but, there is oh, so much more...but, I don't want to spoil it for you with Scarlett...and will let you be surprised like most of us have been!:p

No one ever told me that my dainty little girls farts could clear a room or that if I don't watch carefully Bubba will use my rug to wipe his butt.

We obviously have the same dog in different bodies lol. I swear you just described Max!

I have never been a dog lover although I do like dogs. I've wanted a Yorkie for the past few years and finally got one. Before getting my baby girl I said the dog will not sleep in or on the bed, will not lay on the sofa, will not be treated like a baby because it is an animal. Well, well, well! No one ever told me that this yorkie puppy would completely steal my heart. She is allowed on my bed sometimes, she always cuddles next to me on the sofa, and I do carry her sometimes because she is my little bundle of joy. I clean her butt (No One Ever Told Me About That) and make sure her eyes stay nice and clean just like I do with my skin babies. I am so in love with mine. I get excited to see someone else with a yorkie because I think they MUST feel exactly the way I do having Ladybug in my life!

Sometimes, after he's had "intimate" time with a pillow (which he won't do when anyone is in the room...he requires total privacy :rolleyes:), he forgets to put Mr. Peeper completely away and it gets stuck. So I've had to...um...help him readjust. I kind of freaked the first time and called the vet. It's only happened a handful of times, but every time it does, I realize how much I love my little buddy because the whole process doesn't bother me one bit.

no one told me about REM sleep and that my princess would almost look like she was having a seizure when i brought her home and her eyes would roll back into her head with the whites showing. i thought she was dying and she was just sleeping the vet said. oh the things you learn!

and two years later i'm still occasionally cleaning up poop and pee and butts get cleaned and when they are sick it's a mess and they just can't help it. poor dears.

and no one tells you how much love you have for those tiny faces with the dark eyes when they kiss and snuggle and hug on you.

Gizmo sits on my shoulders to watch TV and while we are parked in the car when picking up my son also. He also likes the windows down.

That's sooo funny....
No one ever told me that such horrible smells could come out of something so tiny and cute!! Like I've always said she's rotten on the inside and sweet as sugar on the outside!!:animal36

That's funny! Gracie was raised with a couple of kittens. She now lays on the back of the recliner like the cat does. Can't convince her that she does not have cat claws to hold on with!
