Don't you love it?

[Biddy's Mom]

I thought that the attention would die down as they got older (people are alwyas excited to see puppies!), but no! People LOVE Biddy and ask all kinds of questions about her. It's weird - the #1 question that people ask about my 2 dogs is - "Are they related?". Not "What kind are they?", "How old are they?", "Are they boys or girls?" - they always want to know if they are brother & sister or mother & son, etc.

What's the #1 question that you all are asked about your Yorkies??

The #1 question - "is he a teacup?" Because I'm asked that so often, my response now is generally "no, he's just little". I don't know if I believe the growth chart I've seen on here or not, according to that, he should be 4.5 lbs at 18 months.....

I got that in petsmart the other day..I told her no such thing as a teacup..then next question.."are you having him neutured"?..I say yes..and she asks well can he mate with my girl once before I spay her..."okay my jaw just dropped at that one"..and then after I say "NO"...she asks me "where she can find a dog to mate with her girl" (which she bought from a "petstore)..oh and what vet do I take Maximus to because she hasn't taken her yest (this puppy was like 11 months old and had only 2 sets of shots that it had come with from the petstore)...this woman had the dog for months and didn't think to take it to the vet yet?..and I was gonna let my baby get together with this dog???..at which point I tell her a. her girl is too small (only about 2 lbs.) to have babies and b. she should probably read up on puppy mills and exactly what goes on when you buy from a petstore and C. MOST IMPORTANTLY ...take that dog to the vet...especially that it came from a petstore..I gave her my vets #..told her to spay the girl immediately because I think she should be coming into her first heat soon..

Oh my gosh! The sad thing is that this woman has no idea she is doing anything wrong. She thinks because she loves her dog and feeds her everyday, then she's a good pet owner. Ignorance is really scary.

#1 question.. Is that a Yorkie?
#2 - She's so little, will she stay that way?
#3 - Where did you get her?
#4 - How much did you pay for her?

I have to say, if you own a Yorkie you will never be bored.. Just go for a walk and you'll be having plenty of conversations.

That is so true about the teenage boys! My 18 year old loves to take the yokies out all the girls thinks it is so sweet that a 6' 2", 200 lb guy has this little dog. He calls Scooter and Cheyenne his female magnets.

It's so true. My heart swells with pride when Maggie is the center of attention. When we go shopping, I always try to have Maggie looking her very best. Color coordinated outfits including bows, collar and leash. She is one crowd stopper. I have yet to see a gender or age that didn't stop and want to touch her. I'm just happy that she is so friendly, and loves everybody. I only hopes she keeps that friendly attitude when she gets older.

It really is ...I was looking at her like "ARE YOU ON DRUGS????"....I was waiting for her to say "BTW...what kind of food do you feed him because I have put off buying any until I see someone else with a yorkie so I could ask them?"
