Well thank goodness my husband and son are both obsessed with our girls too so its not only me. All three of us place the girls upfront :) They mean the world to us and its nice to know that we are all on the same wavelength regarding our princesses :p

This from the man who actually shares his cigar with the dog....

Did anyone explain the concept of YT to the OP? We're all obsessed, we come here to avoid the strange looks we get from people that don't get it.

Sometimes I think it would be best if all YTers moved to one area. No one here understands me!

I know we're crazy about our little pets and love them to pieces.

But - I think our problem is expecting everyone else to feel the same way. I guarantee no one wants to hear me talk about my puppy constantly.

Put yourself in their shoes - I work with two young mothers who talk every minute of every day about their two toddlers. They talk about food, peeing, poop, toys, sleeping, learning, and every cute little thing their two children have ever done in their whole life. I am not exaggerating when I say they talk about these things from the minute they get to work until they go home.

Another three of us are older and have already raised our children. We love children and like hearing about the cute things they do -- but we are really ready to throw up and tired and bored with the totally nonstop talk about these two (no doubt delightful) little children. We don't say anything - but wish they might talk about anything else once in a while.

So - when I start yapping about my Yorkie, I need to remember to enjoy him, love him, and be obsessed with him all I want -- but not drive other people crazy with him.

I am soooooo obsessed with my yorkie! Isnt it fun being obsessed with them? I think its the best way to spend my day :p

Obsessed? What in the heck are you talking about? Obsessed? Okay, here's the deal. My kids have to wait til I do whatever for the babies before I can do something. My grandchildren have to be dragged in the front door cause "Rini will make us sit and hold the dogs!". A vacation? well, plan it only if a Yorkie mom is not preggers, a new litter of puppies are not on the ground, a baby is not sick and heaven forbid, if mom has to make a vet visit or any number of other Yorkie-things.
Getting the stuff ready for 10 Yorkies to go for a few days to my friend's boarding palace takes 2 whole days. Used to be I was up half the night only the night I was actually packing my bags for a trip. NOW, 2 nights for the baby things and that starts 3 nights before the plane leaves the terminal. Then, the worrying and wondering when I get away. Calls to make sure they are alright. Even if we are just at a ballgame, I call and talk to them on the answering machine. Bet y'all don't do that, right??LOL
I have to constantly remind my skinkids that I was a nurse when I was raising them and I didn't need to take them to the doctor all the time. I knew how to make them well. But, these little guys really NEED a specialist aka-vet.
Obsessed? Nah!!!!! Never! Not in your lifetime!!! Well, maybe just a little, teensy bit.. Nope, not at all! If I were Pinocchio, my nose would be poking thru the puter monitor screen right now!

Yes, I am obsessed but my family and my friends love seeing me this happy. Shelby is such a sweetie that everyone adores her, asks about her and wants picture updates. My husbands family treat pets like family members and Shelby is the new baby in the family :p Oh, a group of friends even gave me a baby shower. My husband and adult age sons think they love her as much as I do. not possible.

My own brothers don't appreciate her quite as much but I sort of "let them have it" when they were making fun of me one day. Let's just say they don't do that anymore.

At my stage in life it's love me, love my baby. Want to see me? Guess who is coming?

People tell me that I am obsessed with my friend's yorkie that I watch sometimes. Well...what can I say? I don't have a yorkie on my own just yet... Well.. but now I am getting obsessed to my future pup... who is not born yet :D

According to my "dear" family, yes...I am obsessed. At times, my son and daughter have acted jealous about it too.

Hello, my name is Christine and I am obsessed with my Yorkie! :eek:

Way too protective as well.

How can you not get obsessed with your yorkie!!??!! Ever since we brought Starsky home he has been our little baby. I can't wait to see him after work. I hate leaving him when I have to go. It always runs in my mind, could I take him there?? Even my husband who has never been a dog lover is nuts about Starsky. You should hear the ga ga talk he does to him. I can't sleep unless Starsky is in bed with me. Like everybody else, I would just go nuts if I ever lost him. (Which is really sad they don't live as long as we do :( ) I can totally understand how upset someone is when they loose their little furbaby.

I know, someone sent me a poem once that was ready to hang
The jest of if was like my dog or you are free to leave. Well I threw it out.
I'm lucky most people like my dog here but do you think I would expect
them TO HAVE to like her to come visit. Heavens that would cut me
out of getting to know so many people and they always warm up alittle.
Also there only a few people I actually talk about Crystal to since they
have no dog, why would they be that interested. Beware if they ask
though. They say there is a 10 minute limit for someone visiting a sick
person because they get tired of hearing about their illness ( not family
of course) but maybe even a few of them....so if people can't listen to
that then you know what they are thinking sorta like your office.
Breeders are different...that is their life!!

ummm, yeah, I'm obsessed. My husband says its because my kids are teenagers now and I need something small and cuddly to nurture. He's probably right. The yorkies are only too happy to oblige my nurturing. That's what makes them great dogs!! As far as talking about them, my New year's resolution was to not talk about them as much at work (it's killin' me, people!) because I know most people really don't care. I just come to YT to talk about them...and try to be "relevant" at work...LOL

Obsessed ... Patrick & I both are!! And this is a bad thing??? ;)

We can't think of anything better to be obsessed with. We are already with Baby Blessing. She couldn't have a more fitting name. I can recall all the wonderful years with Cassie, she could help Jack get through the roughest of days and when they were the roughest for him she would kiss away my tears.
She wasn't herself Nov. 4th. Jack had a very important Dr. apointment, I felt it best not to take her with us that late afternoon, I called home twice from our cell phone and talked to her on the answer machine, even called our daughter in Alaska to call and talk to her on answering machine, those messages still remain on the machine. I can not erase them. Oh yes we were very much obsessed with her and we wouldn't have had it any other way. Friends use to say how lucky she was and our reply was "we were the lucky ones to have her." Our :littleang Cassie forever in our :love:'s
