LIFE With Yorkies
 

I was sitting here AFTER I added a Dog Treat to my morning coffee this morning - I was half asleep and reached into the box out of habit and just dropped it in my coffee - I looked down and couldn't believe I haven't done that before now -

It got me laughing and remembering the things we LEARN to live with when we have yorkies...

I've learned to do the Puppy Shuffle around toys - but IF you're going to step on a toy at 2 AM....It will be the SCREAMING MONKEY ....

I've learned doggie shampoo does NOT work on human hair - How many times in a hurry have I used it ? LOTS.....cause they have MORE shampoo bottles than I do

I've learned yorkies are MORE SPOILED than my real kids were - mine could NEVER get me off the phone by whining - but the yorkie can

I've learned to Totally Omit these words from my vocabulary.......cookie....Car...Ride...Outside... Water....Go....Wanna ?

...Oh...and I don't bother to spell them either ...sign language is the best way to go - but only when the YORKIE is not looking.

I've learned THE FACE.... the Yorkie face that gets you anything you want. THEY know to use it at just the right minute.....cause us Moms just melt when we see it.

What have YOU learned from having a yorkie ?

I've learned that my skin kids now make the comments that "you always loved Mia and Bentley best!" instead of claiming one of the three of them were my favorites. LOL
Or they say "Mia and Bentley" get EVERYTHING! I learned that I can quickly turn into one of those crazy dog people whom is obsessed with their furbabies. I learned that I have no social life because I worry about the "pupsters" being at home alone. I've learned that I try to get out of vacation plans for fear of having to leave them behind. I have learned that with my kids now grown that a cute little dogs completely satisfies my maternal needs.

AND you learned to use the Term 'SKIN' kids when describing your family !! lol...

Can you imagine saying THAT in front of non-yorkie people ?

I'm not allowed to move Oscar's toys 'cause he puts them right back where he wants them......
Clothing (read underwear, socks, bras) CANNOT be left on the floor. The personals will end up in his bed, on the couch, or wherever he decides to curl up with them.....
I'm not allowed to go ANYWHERE in the house without being followed--he must know exactly what I'm doing at all times....using the bathroom will never be private again....
You haven't lived until you've stepped in cold pee, warm pee, or poo.....usually when you're still in your jammies and you've just woken up... :eek:
He IS a big dog, and no one is gonna tell him any different...

Just when I thought I'd seen it all from him, he does something else to surprise me and make me laugh :D

LOL...Those were great :D :D :D ...I got another one -

I've learned how to easily lie when I'm out ....to get home to my girls.....

saying I have to leave cause my girls are missing me just doesn't cut it with some people - I tried it - they thought I was obsessed....

These are soooooooo true! I don't have human children but if I did I have no doubt all of these would apply! I have a bunch of stuff in my head but it's early and I haven't had my coffee yet (hahaha) and yes, I have put a doggie treat in my coffee as well ;)

Tasty isn't it ? :D

Oh...lol...another one ! I've learned that I can CLEAR a room just by saying "Guess what Chanel did the other day ?"

It works especially good when there are GREAT hors d'overes on the table !

Where I work everyone has children so I just start talking about how proud I am that Hallie and SImon pottied on the pad or how cute they are at daycare and eveyone looks at me like I'm crazy!
I've also learned how to strategically place myself in the bed AROUND 2 little dogs that have mastered the art of stealing the covers and the entire King size bed ;)
I'm sure I have more but I'm still waking up ;)

Yep! I have learned to add a few new words and phrases to my vocabulary.

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!

LOL !! Eat the Jiff ! lol...I love it Brenda :D

Hilarious!!
 

You guys are cracking me up. Those are too funny. I can relate to almost all of them. I'm sure I have a few of my own, but I too am just waking up and not that quick witted in the morning if you know what I mean. :D

Gosh, and I thought I was the ONLY one to ever take a "pupternity leave"! :rolleyes:

:animal-sm We have also noticed that some "friends" who were always under foot, aren't anymore!! :) And those that still are were the "real" friends and love your Yorkie baby as much as you do?! Does anyone miss them? :) People quickly learn that we make our plans around Toto! If she can't go, then we don't! Things that used to be carelessly dropped on the floor, aren't anymore ... I really love this! Heaven forbid that something is accidentally left on the floor because if it is, Toto owns it!! Had I known she would prevent this kind of clutter, I would've had a Yorkie looooong before now!! :rolleyes: She has surely changed our lives and we wouldn't trade it for anything! ;)

You are not alone. I took my first pupternity leave when I bought my maltese Bentley about 3 1/2 years ago and then again about a year and a half ago when I brought Mia home. I have also been known to call in sick if one of my pupsters becomes sick. Someone has to keep an eye on them and it might as well be me. I have even taken some of my personal days to stay home with them. :)

I keep thinking of more ...I've learned that buying a treat that they do NOT love is not a waste of money....

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