They would never harm him but they take every chance they get to let me
know he is too big to be a Yorkie. I get a least one call a week telling me
guess what I saw at the Mall. A Yorkie and he/she was soooooooooo small.
Who cares, get over it, Buddy is "BIG" period.
Two weeks ago I got a call to tell me they watched the Euchanuba dog show and they believe Buddy is not a Yorkie but a Silky. Give it up already. I defend my dog each an every week against the non-belivers. He is a true
teapot (lol) and I love every loveable inch of him.

His papers mean nothing to them. I would like to believe they are just busting
my chops but it is getting annoying.

aw. I'm sorry your family was being rude. Let me get this straight though, they were visiting YOUR house, yet they were telling YOU to put YOUR dog outside? gosh! that's crazy!!

fortunatly, our family puts up with the dogs. My aunt Joan pretends to not like Tucker but as soon as she sees him she goes, "Hi baby did you miss Aunt Joanie?" haha. They think we're insane because we have 2 (soon to be 3) but they do love them.

I think we all have someone in our family like that!

My family (just about all of them) now know that you just have to deal with how we feel about Mojo - if you don't like it or our rules regarding him - tough! - You don't have to come around, be around us, talk to us, etc. That seems harsh, but we all got tired of Mojo being dragged all over the place by some unruly little kid or being scared by the older boys, chocking on or being fed something nasty, etc.

It didn't take longs for friends and family to know our rules and regulations regarding anything dealing with Mojo (kids playing with him, feeding him, etc).

Most of my family came around to the idea and fact of us having a birthday party for Mojo, holiday gifts, etc. Now, they gladly tell people where they are going, what they are doing, etc.

I've always brought Mojo to most family gatherings and over this 4th, we left him home for a few hours (it was sooo hot). Anyway, some of my other family members had their little dogs there (all sorts of dog breeds). Well, my uncle brought his HUGE wolf dog that is pretty mean (he is cute and all, but mean). Well, before he could chain him to something, he got after one of the little dogs. So, those family members took their dog, told my grandmother they were going home and left! So, now she has a "no dog" policy. That royally upsets me! Just because of his stupidity! I mean, who brings a dog like that around little kids, a big family and other dogs? Anyway, she secretly lets Mojo down that because, after all, he is a part of the family and very well behaved!

Frankly, I love my yorkies a whole lot more than most of my family anyway. Of course they think I'm a little nuts but they aren't with me snuggling and kissing in bed, nor do they run up to greet me like Chloe and Lacey when I'm just getting the mail for two seconds. So I say let them think what they want, as long as they are kind to my dogs. If they are not, they can go to their own homes.

That's not right, was it your house? Please dont say this was at YOUR house...

Is Tinkerbell feeling better now?

Do u keep defending him being a yorkie to them? Maybe just tell them that they could think he's a dalmation for all you care, you know what he is, and he's your baby

Angry *SIGH* Yep...

Yep. Everyone ALWAYS has SOMETHING to say. They think I am nuts because of all the toys he has, because of all the clothes he has, and because of how spoiled he is. They also think I'm nuts because we take him with us any time we can (ummm, the last time I checked there was nothing wrong with taking a small dog in the car withy you??? ) Soo stupid. I get VERY sick of hearing it. Would they rather me neglect him and give him no love and attention? Sorry, that ain't gonna happen. What people have to understand with me is that, my husband and I don't have any children (YET!), and he is MY BABY. I spoil him BECAUSE I CAN, and because I want to...and MAINLY because he LOVES it

I am to the point now where I don't give a damn what people think or say. Let 'em talk. I just roll my eyes, pick up my baby and walk away

My family isn't mean to Coco at all but they are definetely not dog people. They play with her, rub her and love her, but when they come over I have to put Coco in her crate, so she isn't on the beds with them even though they know how clean I keep her (weekly baths and daily bum/feet washing). I have to lay out special coco untouched sleeping sheets for them so they don't get grossed out Oh well, you just have to accept and love your family. But if they were ever mean to her, it would NOT be tolerated, EVER . Poor Tinker, she's adorable and loveable.

How rude to treat you that way in your own home!!

I think if my family did that to me, I'd have to tell them that if they don't like my dog, they don't have to come visit.

yes it's annoying & down right rude! BUT some people are raised different to believe that dogs & cats are animals and nothing else that shouldn't be allowed inside some even think they are nasty and carry diseases! it's very bothersome! like when i go jump in the pool here and of course i want to take my dogs with me but some act like omg that's nasty hello i know they are cleaner than half the people that jump in here anyways i do let anyone know that i don't appreciate that kinda of treatment of my dogs and sometimes it flat piss@#$ me off! i tell them if the pets have their shots and evertything they need just like people they are healthy and i know they are clean because i take care of them! pets/animals were domisticated bye humans so who are we now to just discard and ignore them doesn't seem fair to me at all they depend on us and need us! tell them to blow it out their ears ! pets love you and are loyal no matter what you look like or even don't mind bad breath what kind of human companion can be said the same about?

Well maybe I should've said that it was not at my house, but my mothers house, however I am officially staying here because since we are a military family we are in the process of moving but i am residing here in my mothers house. Either way they seem to think i am nuts to LOVE her soooo much, my mother loves Tinkerbell even though she has never had a dog inside her house she loves her because she loves me and knows how much Tinkerbell means to me She is doing alot better now, but seriously I had to carry her most of the time just to keep her from shaking. I think that if it doesn't bother my mother and it is her house why should it bother them

Omg Who cares!! I am nuts!

My mother thinks I am nuts about how I am with my dogs. But she is just the same way with her cats!! My sister who owns a Italian Greyhound totally relates to me and it is great to share stories and go to playdates together. I also get crap at work to. The quote I get is " they are just dogs!" They say I am going through a mid life crises since my kids are growing up. And some even say " you care more about your dogs then you do your own children!" Well my children are 21 and 16 and really aren't around a whole lot with me. I totally understand you guys when your say your family thinks you are nuts!

My parents are really good with Tilly. They treat her as if she was their baby also. Mom also has a yorkie so I think that helps. I hear mom always telling my dad if you buy for one you have to buy for both. So Tilly always has treats at moms. Now hubbys parents I think sometimes thinks we are crazy. They don't pay a lot of attention to their pets so I wasn't shocked with how they treat Tilly. They watch Tilly sometimes while we are gone, but I don't know how good they treat her. She shakes when they are around. I'm starting to wonder if they yell at her or spank her. I will be mad if I ever find out they do. She hasn't stayed with them since I noticed her shaking. When she is uncomfortable then I get uncomfortable. They have a lot of land at their house and Tilly loves to play outside. They said we took her out and we watched her good, we knew if she got away we would never hear the end of it. Thats just how his parents are. They always have something "smart" to say.
