Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Do they ever wear you out? We love them, we spoil them, we baby them and we show them off. But, come on, 'fess up: Do you ever need a break from your Yorkies? For 2 1/2 years, I would have answered no. But a recent job change has me busier than ever at work. Sometimes, I need some 'me' time, but those cute little guys always make me feel guilty for taking it.

| Even after work and/or school, i still love coming home to wagging tails & millions of kisses. It makes my day better than what it already was. |

Maybe the lingering snow and cold is influencing my opinion right now. I do love coming home to the kisses and hugs. It's just after that, when their energy level is up and I have to take them for a walk in the cold and dark. Or when I decide to sit down and watch something on TV and they demand my complete attention. Don't get me wrong. I usually give it to them. But sometimes I wish there was an "off" button or a "cuddle" switch.

| Yes!!! I say that all the time. I love Gus dearly but he wears me out!!! He has so much energy, barely sleeps at all during the day, won't play with toys by himself, nothing occupies him longer than ten minutes, the most he will sleep is eight hours at night sometimes less and he wants to be with me every minute. I take him on long walks and I swear that gives him more energy. I used to feel guilty about 'me' time but now -- it's been 2 1/2 years here too -- I'm too tired to care. He wears me out! Thank you, I feel better now.

| I'll admit that sometimes they can get on my nerves. Mostly when I'm sewing and trying to get orders out and they keep jumping at my legs and wanting on my lap, but not to settle down - just chew or whatever!!

| Before, the answer would have been 'Yes', but lately, Stewie and I just lounge around. He lost a lot of his puppy energy and we like relaxing together. He sits on my lap and I pet him or he lays next to me and we veg out When he was a baby, he used to keep me up at night and wake me up early. He couldn't entertain himself, either. Now he is content just being next to me and I don't have to entertain him 24/7. I like the new mellow Stew.

| I couldn't tell you why...knowing I'm not the only one isn't going to get me any extra rest...but it is nice to know I'm not alone.
