Ok I know I sound stupid BUT - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I feel the same way about my little man.. when people talk about their children I talk about romeo the same way. I think it has to do with the fact that they love you so unconditionally...and unlike people, they don't see your flaws.

It's a different kind of love, but it sure is a good one.

You are not alone. We have a few dogs and I stay awake nights thinking about how much I love them and how sick I would feel if anything happened to them. Anybody who loves animals feels this way.

You would have to love yorkies to understand, but all of us that do know what you are talking about. I lost my Roxie back in January when she ate a sago palm seed and died from sago palm poisoning. I cannot describe to anyone, except another yorkie person, the pain I have felt since. She was only three years old and things were not supposed to happen the way they did. I am so grateful for the time I had with her. Sometimes it's like she is so close by, even now. That may sound strange, but it feels like she is closer some days than others. Just my heart playing tricks on my mind, I guess. I now have my little Maxie, who is such a sweet girl. She reminds me of Roxie in many ways, but each one is still different. One of them will never take the place of the other, I love each one for their different little self!

to the OP your not stupid

stupid are my sisters who made me go thru every animal we had to let go cause they couldnt be in the room.

i guess being the guy is rough.

it is very hard to lose a pet

The best testament we have about Yorkie love, is how they teach us to love back. I have only been without a Yorkie for a few short days in my adult life. We can worry about losing them, it is better if we can be thankful for every day we have them.
I know Patches and Willbe taught all about Yorkies and convinced me life is not complete with out them. Willbe was a strange Yorkie he brought me a baby sugar glider(Kind of a small squirrel, chip monk type creature) that got blown out of its nest. during a storm. That was amazing for a rat catcher to do ! Willbe knew Mama would be sad if he hurt the little critter. In that moment, a 4 month puppy made me a Yorkie lover for ever.

It so nice to see how much we love our babies.. I also have 2 Chihuahuas' and I love them and have always treated them the same.. BUT I do think its a yorkie thing.. Izzy responded completely different to the love we give her. I don't think she know she a dog... And talk about a smart breed..The Yorkshire terrier is one smartest dogs who doesn't realize how small they are... Lol..

I keep a picture of her right next to my children's school pictures at my desk. Patients even tell me " wow you must love her like one of your children" lol.. Yup I do!!

Has anyone else felt this way?

It's definately a yorkie thing.

After my last yorkie, Chelsea, passed I went 3 years without a yorkie because I just didn't think I could go through that kind of loss again. But then I got ZoE

And I think I'm even more attached to her than I was Chelsea. When I had Chelsea, I was married & was raising kids. Now, I'm no longer married, my kids are both away at college, so it's just me & ZoE at home...and she's my world.

I feel the same! Our Katie Scarlett is my world!

BELLBELLBOO · 04-22-2013, 05:54 AM

Let me put it to this way ! If me and bella were hanging from a cliff......and my wife had to choose! I would be gone !!!!!!!!!!! Lol there is no other love like the love you have for yorkie !!!!!!

mperran1974 · 04-22-2013, 08:02 AM

I definitely feel the same way. I have 2 children ages 4 and 8. I adore them. This little dog has stolen all our hearts. I truly believe she was meant to be ours. I love her so completely.

TysonMyBoy · 04-22-2013, 12:51 PM

Not silly at all!!!

There's been a dog in my home all my life...to me, it was just another chore...until my husband brought Tyson home. I have never in my life loved a dog like I do this one. He stays by my side constantly...if I get up so does he, even if I'm just going into the kitchen or bathroom. He is my favorite "person" in the world and I would be devastated to lose him.

Oh yes have always said that about Merlin he really does think he's all human lol, and in turn the other 3 are just the same. it's the 1 thing that scares me the most is when it's Merlin time, I really don't know how I will cope... I just enjoy every moment take pictures like crazy and try not to think about it, I will say tho that's why got Molly as I knew if I didn't have another dog, when that time came I would have never had another, now I have his son to live on

Hahaha!!! That's funny, my husband asked me the same question and I told him that Izzy was way lighter .. Lol..

Bentleysmommie · 04-23-2013, 02:38 PM

Does not sound stupid at all. I have 2 Chihuahuas and a Yorkie and they are my life. When I had only my oldest Chihuahua I was literally obsessed with her and now the love needs to be spread into 3 parts lol but they do become your entire life. The only time I have been away from them would be on vacation and every time I got back I literally sobbed lol Its like having kids. Your not alone!! Also having pets lowers anxieties, depression, and is good for our health.
