No Problem, I have learn to live with my condition and have developed some defense against it. The biggest defense is to not stare in their eyes. You are safe as long as you do not look into their eyes for prolonged periods of time. So far that seems to be the only thing that works.

Thank heavens, this is an actual condition. I thought I was loosing my mind. I try to not look into their eyes but they reach out their paws and pull my hand or arm towards them, saying, "look at me, look into my eyes" and the next thing I know I'm at the dog park or in Petsmart buying something.

Are there any meds I should be taking? Or a therapist I need to see?

Yorkies seem to have this kind of telepathic communication with the owner whenever the yorkie wants the owner to do something like get them more treats or take them outside for walks. They also seem to use this mind control whenever the yorkie gets into trouble. In most cases, the owners have no idea they have been put under YMC

Some of the symptoms include but not limited to
Daze looks when looking into the eyes of their yorkies
baby talk -all the time
the inability to discipline - yorkie gets away with everything
not knowing they are under YMC
Know the symptoms - if you suspect that you or someone you know is under YMC, please contact your nearest YT member. There is no known cure but YT members have a wide range of support resources to help you when you are being controlled by YMC.
Good Luck

Haha this is perfect

Yes Ted didn't stare into my eyes that's how I caught him!

Sitting comfortably on couch, nothing has moved, no sound has been made, but I find myself compelled to slowly sneak a look over at sleeping Piper...BUT SHE ISN'T!!!! She has somehow willed me to look at her, and as we all know, once you look into those big baby browns, all is lost. So then I'm up and trying to figure out what my little darling wants, because she must not want for anything and should always be happy and content. And though loath to admit the aforementioned to non-yorkie friends, I know this to be true and certain. Ahhh, how lackluster my simple life musta been before being owned by a yorkie!!!

Teddy knows where his treats are...potty training he'd go do his business and someone will say good job he'd run inside and wait by the treats 😂

Same. Scottie looks at his treats on my bedside table, then looks at me, at the treats, then at me, with those big memorizing eyes and guilt-tripping gaze.

I think, we have established they know how to get dog treats given to them at their whims

Lol

We need to protest against what these animals are doing to us! Well after my non cuddly dog stops cuddling me of course but then he'll need to go potty and come in and get a belly rub or play tug of war then of course some treats but then I'll be ready
