| Don't you love it? When everywhere you go with your Yorkie people "oooohh and "aaahhhh". Seriously, people either stop me to meet Keeley and ask me all about him or I see them quietly saying to the people they are with "oh its a yorkie", or "look how little he is?" I have even had people stop their cars when we are outside to ask about him. We just left Keeleys second kindergarten class and before and after the class we had sooooo many oohs and ahhhs. Big men getting down on the floor to let him kiss them. I just think everyone loves yorkies. They are just so cute that they draw everyones attenttion. I love it! I can't even imagine the attention our little girlie yorkies when their hair is done and their bows are in. |

| My yorkie is a star in everyone's eyes! Oh yes! We LOVE it! Every time we take Sully out somewhere (we=my husband and I) all sorts of people come up to us just to "ooh" and "aah" over him. They just want to giggle and pet his little head! There's just something about yorkies that make them the cutest dogs on earth, really...and even for people who don't want to own one themselves, of course they still think they're adorable! How can you not!! The best thing is, in my husband and my opinion... that after our time out with everyone gooing over him, WE get to take him home! The Cuteness is all ours! And that makes the proudest mommy and daddy there is! (And trust me, my husband is just as thrilled about his "son" as I am!!!)

| Esme and I both love the attention too!!! People always ask a zillion questions about her. Esme wags her little tail and gets soooo excited when they touch her! Actually, the awful part is, that we are so used to people ooohing and aaaahing over her, it actually feels odd when we go somewhere and no one asks about her (it doesn't happen often, but it has... maybe twice... )

| I agree! It helps me too cause I'm shy so he's a conversation starter! The one thing that does bother me is when people just reach up and pet him without asking first. He's never met a stranger but that's not the point

| The attention is CRAZY!!! I take Chewy out a lot now and if it took me 10 minutes to get somewhere, it now takes half an hour because I have to stop every minute to talk to someone. My husband thinks it's nuts, he doesn't understand it. Everyone always says, oooh I want to get one. |

| The first time I took Tinkerbell out in public we went to a community fair. I literally had to go back out to my car to get her bag to put her in because we were not able to do anything! People would literally come stand in front of me and not let me go. I couldn't enjoy my family or look at anything. It was the first time I had ever had that happened. When I take my maltese out she gets attention, but never like when I had Tinkerbell. |

| That's soo funny because we always get attention. Coco is so tiny that everyone always wants to know everything about her. I always tell people they are a lot of work, because as soon as they see one they want to get one. So I always make sure to say, the need A LOTTTT of attention and care. One time my boyfriend had to squeeze into a crowd of 12 people to get to me, when we were meeting for dinner.

| Actually it makes me quite uncomfortable. I tell you one thing though if I wasn't married my Katia would be helping to pick up a lot of women. But when I go to the pet store or the mailbox or for a walk and women stop me and talk to me about her and women in cars almost have accidents because they are awwwing and ooohing it makes me uncomfortable.

| I get asked if I have a cat in the pet travel bag. I unzip it and Mya poses....lol Everyone freaks out. Yes it is nice that Yorkies bring joy to everyone who sees them. Even the big burly tough men turn to mush !!!!!

| When I would walk Tyke I would get people saying something all the time. one time I was walking him and a cop pulled over just to give him a treat and pet him on the head (I live in a small town where NOTHING goes on) When I walk Bubba I'll walk him up to an elementary school by the house and we always pass this one house and this lady is ALWAYS outside and everytime I walk by she has to stop and play with Bubba When I go to PetSmart people always stop and pet him and coo at him (Bubba or Tyke). When I would drive with Tyke or am driving with Bubba I catch people pointing at the window to him or smiling at him or waving. But I do it too...if I see someone walking a dog I just have to ask the name of the dog and how old it is and pet them and talk to them (the dog that is )

| Oh, yes, the attention. My kids hate it! It's gotten to the point that they don't want to take the dogs because we will get nothing accomplished! Mostly that's when we are going to the mall to shop. You can imagine when I am with my 2 older girls and we each have a yorkie, it is quite a scene. We have gotten pretty good at smiling and continuing to walk. If you stopped everytime someone wanted to see them we would never get very far! I actually like the favt that they make people smile. I am so tired of sour angry people who are all stressed out. It's a nice change when I have the dogs and brighten someone's day! |

| I am a little shy & impatient so I get really embarrassed when people stop me to look at my dogs. I normally dont actually take them into stores because if I do I would never get out. And I am always in a hurry so that just doesnt work. But it is nice to have dogs that people "ooh & Ahh" over.
