We know a yorkie is a yorkie and all are beautiful bundles of love.

I agree !!!

I know like I said because of my experiences and life of being left out I get overly emotional about it and normally don't see it until after the fact.

More things to be careful about, more alert.. etc. I know most of my friends have small yorkies and they would agree with me.

I can understand being overly emotional because of past events, but you have to let that stuff go. Callie doesn't feel left out!

As far as differences - absolutely! Max could step on one your tinies and break a bone. I think there's probably a lot more to be cautious about with a dog under, let's say 6 pounds. Max is 16 pounds, and sure he hurts his knees jumping off furniture but I don't think I would step on him because I didn't see him.

Kyra is very fragile, her little legs are the size of my index finger, she is never allowed to jump up or down from things. When we bath her we do it in a small basin on the floor just in case she did decide to jump out of her bath. When we walk them half the walk we carry Kyra because she gets tired much faster. I could go on and on. Yes all dogs need lots of care and should get it but the little ones truly are different.

I agree Charlene I speak from experience like you.

The OP never said a dog over a certain size was "big" but even if she did size is in the "eye of the beholder". I'm 5"0 tall and petite so ANYTHING over 10 lbs is big to me lol but to my husband who's 6"3 a great dane would seem like a medium sized dog. Alot of things do depend on the dog as an individual but I think generally speaking most who have owned a "tiny" AND larger(normal)sized yorkie(breed) do see a difference. Maybe not alot of differences but there are some. All these differences or similarities are based on the individual's experience.

Its hard to let go of something that plagued you your whole life. I have stepped on Callie because I didn't see her but most of the time it is during a thunderstorm when i should know she is underfoot but it has happened.

Umm....There's not much room. Max likes to lay on his back with his head at the foot of the bed and his back legs wide open.....facing me It's disgusting. And heaven forbid I move my leg and touch Cooper....game on.

Lol!! I can picture it. I can relate- Pnut at 4 pounds will still be able to take over a california king size mattress!!

Omg?!? You move?? I love when you move and they get up, walk away, and as they are walking away they do the head turn and give you the stink eye.

The problem is that I don't let him walk away. I want Cooper close so I drag his tush back to me and he growls LOL. And then he "smiles".
