I feel badly for Hobbs.

AW! Big Hugs to Hobbs! Poor little guy! What is our soceitys obsession with size? It seems like it covers just about everything now, models aren't thin enough, cars aren't big enough, and cell phones and dogs aren't small enough

Hobbs is a doll and deserves as much attention as Hootie gets.
Lots of love going your way Hobbs!

[ellie81]

ohhh poor Hobbs, he wants attention too. This people don't know anything!!!! Please give him lots of love and kisses. I'm sure he'll be happy if just Mommy know how important he is!

It's ridiculous that 1/2 pound would even matter. I think if it were me, I'd say something like, "Hobbs wants some attention too...he's feeling left out." If I ever meet you and your furbabies, you can count on my giving Hobbs lots of love and attention!!!

You know, that is so true. Never thought about it pertaining to babies, too, but it definately does.

lol My friends have to be treated like children, too! If they don't behave, they get punished! NO more wine for them! lol GREAT idea!

Sickening, isn't it? It just disgusts me.

I will be the first to admit that both Hootie and Hobbs are very small yorkies: Hobbs is 3.6lbs and Hootie weighs just under 3.0lbs. But everyone always gives Hootie all the attention and everyone completely ignores Hobbs....they say Hootie is smaller and thus, cuter. I have always noticed how people act differently towards each of them, but it became very apparent and actually made me mad last night when we had some friends over to watch Grey's Anatomy. We had 6 friends over and they kept passing around Hootie and oo'ing and awe'ing over her and they were actually being MEAN to Hobbs saying he was being annoying. Hobbs was NOT being annoying. He is VERY VERY well behaved. He just has a big personality, whereas Hootie is strictly a lap dog. But no one wanted to hold Hobbs and everyone was doating on Hootie, and Hobbs was just getting his feelings hurt and thus, my feelings were hurt.

I know good and well there is nothing that I can do to change the way people view my yorkies. But it just irks me...what is this world coming to? My 3.6lbs yorkie is no longer cute because now I have a yorkie that is even smaller than he?! It just really makes me mad.

shoot I just saw this.. it's ok Becca ...people will be people... I know how you feel.. when Maddy was alive it would happen to and now that she has passed sometimes I cry thinking maybe I didnt give her enough attention and time and sometimes gave Gizmo more or vs versa... but well I feel they know we love them and thats all that matters.. I hope you feel better and dont worry. .you are a good mommy and thats all that matters...

Cindy, you are so sweet. And don't cry. Maddy knew you loved her (and continue to love her). I'm sure of it.

i was tearing up reading this because i know as a mom .. how horrible that would make me feel.. the poor little guy dind't understand and it is heartbreaking to see that in their faces.. you can tell Hobbs that Layla has a thing for bigger guys and she just thinks he is great! she sends a kiss!

Hobbs knows he is a doll baby, Lexie really thinks so and so do I...but I know how it is with two of them one seems to get all the attention over the other one but your babies are beautiful, its hard when they both are just drop dead gorgeous, but hang in there, you know your girlfriends on YT think they both are cutie pies and I would love to help V babysit him too...When we got done loving on that cutie pie he might not want to be passed around so much... And you are a good MOM!

[RLC12345678]

It's just really amazing to me because Hobbs is the little cuddler...he likes to plop down right in your lap and then turn over on his back for you to scratch his belly. Hootie doesn't do anything and still gets all the attention. Don't get me wrong....I still love Hootie TO DEATH! She is my little girl! But Hobbs and I just have some sort of special connection...we are soul mates. My hubby thinks I'm absolutely NUTS when I tell him that. But seriously, Hobbs and I have a special bond that I just cannot explain.

I know what you talking about, Lexie and I are close and she is a little love bug, but there is something about Bear he is my little snuggle bear, I have been blessed that I have this with all of my animals but there is something with Bear & Max I can't explain....

[Sadie's Mom]

Awwww...Poor Hobbs. But I bet that his Mommy gives him extra special loving!!!

[ilovelouie]

I cant believe that I just read this thread! I was just talking about this with my daughter about 2 minutes ago!! Her boyfriend always gives Louie ALL the attention and I feel so BAD for poor little Bella...
, He was like, ,"awwww good boy louie, good boy louie", and poor little Bella was just sitting there. I felt so bad for her that I said something to him....I was like,"HEY, ya know thats really MEAN! If your gonna pay attention to one you have to pay attention to the other equally!".....and he did. lol......So I say when this happens to your little ones you should def point it out to people

[IluvLucy]

Poor Hobbs! How can anyone see that beautiful face and not fall in love???? People can be so cruel sometimes. They don't seem to realize that we see our yorkies as children! I don't have grandchildren and I spoil my 2 rotten. Hobbs has such a sweet face (both your babies are pretty) I can't stand to think of him having hurt feelings ( and they do!)
