LIFE With Yorkies

[michaelgatl]

Jerry gets up @ 6:15 AM every day like clockwork, even on the weekends. I tell this to co-workers and friends they think Im nuts, but I just know if I wasn't up doing the morning ritual with Jerry he'd probably freak

This is like the best thread. I was reading through this and thinking..."this is ridiculous." and my partner was like...."you have done all of this, you're just as bad as they as they are."

I didn't realize that I did all of what you guys are saying, but I guess I do.

It's AMAZING!

LOL Vilette,

We are always buying things they "do not love" and then giving them to our next door neighbor who has a big chocolate lab that likes EVERYTHING. He start licking his lips and waggin his tail when he sees us heading his way. I never give it a second thought. However, if i buy my "skin kids" something and they don't eat it I fuss at them for wasting it, I never realized I favored my yorkies like that until now.

it's a learning process done out of love and uneaten full boxes of treats make GREAT bribes to neighbors.....

Our grandpup, Missy the Border Collie, loves it when Toto gets treats that she won't eat ... she always gets them!! Also, her "Mom" always knows of people who don't treat their pets well so she gladly takes food/treats and gives it to others! Nothing goes to waste!

heehee...nice to hear I have LOTS of company on the unused treats !

I have learned to NOT GROSS OUT over finding a turd in an "unusual" spot !

I've even picked one up bare handed ! (Dried up of course)

eeeewwwwwwwwww !

I've learned to not sweat the small stuff - 25 toys on the floor is a normal look in my house now....not so when my kids were little but I don't tell THEM that !

[bkessler]

I learned you will never have a decent night of sleep again!!

[red98vett]

THESE are GREAT !! I'm getting such a kick out of thinking of more - lol..I was TRYING to watch tv and almost jumped up and said "I GOT ANOTHER ONE......TURDS ! lol...I caught myself before I gave my hubby ideas on having me committed....

I've learned you can NEVER have too many GROOMING Supplies ! Who cares if they overtake the human stuff !

Skinkids - (noun) kids of the human kind, those lacking a permanent glossy, silky coat or fur as some call it. Used in a sentence - My 17 year old skinkid wrecked my car and my insurance rates will hit the roof!

Pupster - (noun) children of the furry kind. Offers unconditional love and is never judgmental. Will not wreck your car and will not cause an increase in automobile insurance rates. But may pee on the carpet.
Used in a sentence - I can't go to the movie with you because I haven't seen my pupster in 4 hours!

Pupternity Leave - the length or period of time you take off work to spend with your brand new puppy. Used in a sentence - I can't come in to work next week because I'm on pupternity leave!

PeaMutt Butter - The jar you buy specifically designated for your pupster's Kong. Sentence - (a warning to other's in the house) - Don't get into that six dollar all natural jar of PeaMutt Butter! I bought it for the pupsters, eat the Jif!

Too funny!
I have learned not to say her name while around my other dogs because they cry thinking that their mommy loves HER best.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!

Guilty! I guess if people can compete and toss cow pies or buffalo chips then one itty bitty dried yorkie poopie isn't going to kill me.

I've learned that I can spend 20 bucks on a bottle of shampoo for the pupsters but bargain shop and cringe at spending over 5.00 bucks for my shampoo. I also learned I can spend 250.00 on a set of clippers for the pupsters (that I use less than twice a year) and spend less than 30.00 on the ones for my hubby (he has less hair). And that it's ok to leave my husband alone at the barbers but heaven forbid that I should leave my babies at the groomer..hence the 250.00 for clippers.

I have also learned that you can NEVER have too many dog beds...even though they don't use them.

[Luvmypupster]

And I have learned as Villette has that dogs can spell!!!!

[red98vett]

Brenda - YOU ARE SO RIGHT - I used to know Pig Latin and maybe need a refresher course - cause I want to go "outay to breakfastay" this morning and am plotting how I can do it with minumal fuss !

[red98vett]

lol...I can do this ALL DAY !

I've learned you do NOT throw away the mangled broken ripped up toy - it will become the FAVORITE in a nanosecond... and break a yorkies heart seeing it go into the trash....never mind there are 100 other GOOD toys - that one toy in the trash will NOT FLY with yorkies - you have to sneak it.

[bettyeanne]

SNEAKING!!! I had forgotten about sneaking! Toto has a half dozen fleecy blankies ... but ... she has her fave that she looooves and of course it has to be laundered often!! If she sees me heading to the laundry room with it she stalks me and watches. She then keeps an eye on the dryer until it comes out and she can have it again!!
