| Yorkie owners OK, do you think there are Yorkie owners who don't spoil their dogs rotten? Who don't have their dog wear the latest fashions and have 50,000 beds and blankets and treats, feed them the best foods money can buy, etc.... Any owners who treat their Yorkie like, well, a DOG????? (I'm not one of these, just wanted to know what is "normal"!) omega |

| I have 3 dogs...a cocker, a min pin, and a yorkie. and I have to say..the yorkie gets star treatment. not sure why...it just kinda happens and it has nothing to do with loving the others any less, they just arent' yorkies weird. here is a pic of all 3 of them. you can see the size difference, maybe that is what it is. don't know.

| Spoiled......Who Me!!!! LOL My Widget is so baby like acting it would be hard not to spoil her rotten as I'm sure most of yours are.....Snuggling up to our chin when we return home, and acting as if we've left her for days, when actually its only been an hour or so, is only one example....Our neighbors think we have gone totally bonkers over her....one reason is the whole back seat is a playpen for her, with toys, bed, blankeys and more....lol....as is our living room... they are just too cute and sweet (at times) not to luv um to death!!!! |

| When we first got Reesie I would call my husband and say "guess what your youngest with fur did today) He would just laugh. |

| guilty to a certain extent. i treat Troy as a dog/kid. i have 5 other kids that i have to divide my time and attention to SO... but when i get some extra it goes to her. i haven't really known what to spoil her with. there is just much cool stuff out there. i'm trying not to spoil her more than my human babies... but its kind of hard cause i know Troy will appreiate it more! specially when i hear you got a dress, shirt, etc for the DOG! or you making what for the DOG! i'm like whatever.

| I have any aunt that has a yorkie, and he (gasp) isn't spoiled and pretty much is treated as a regular dog I always feel sorry for him, which is really silly, she doesn't mistreat him or anything, he just isn't treated the same way I treat Cooper and Carley Poor little Teddy!!
