The Reason I Get Out Of Bed - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

pea496 · 08-13-2007, 06:16 PM

I am so sorry you had a bad week. Things will get better. When things are tough for me at work (which they are occasionally), I just think that it is my job, not my life. My life is at home, where my family resides.

I also think that sometimes I am not the best Mom to Conner. I have been on vacation and tomorrow will be my first day back at work. Conner has been spoiled while I have been home, and I know he will not want me to leave tomorrow.

Keep your chin up and live for your family and furfamily.

Yep.... they are literally the reason I get out of bed

Seth is licking my face and Sasha is jumping around on the bed, and Silas is whining in his crate.
I can remember when i got up when I wanted, I went to the bathroom first.
GOSH life was boring, now the traffic going by get a show in the morning, Me and all 3 of them in the yard peeing, pooping, and me in my jammies. I would not trade them for anything.
I am BLESSED

They are my life.

I've had a really tough last week at work and while contemplating quitting and moving to Ohio with my mom (with her blessing of course) I have realized that I think the only reason I'm still up and about is because of the monkeys. If I didn't have them I swear I would just stay in bed all day and night.

While I haven't been the best mom I can be, I still take them for walks and play ball and cuddle. They have really been a blessing for me. I just don't know how people without pets function sometimes.

Kim I am sorry you weren't having a great week, you need to get your monkeys and come on down here...

When Peanut & Lexie were both at the vet, my house was so quite that it drove me crazy, even with the rest of the brat pack...Hang in there girl, I am praying you get a job down here soon....

Anyone who doesn't own a pet is missing out on one of the greatest joys in the world. The unconditional love of a pet is like nothing else on earth. I miss my dogs terribly when I am away from them and I can't wait to get home to them each day. They bring me more comfort and joy than most anything. I don't know what I'd do without them.

cataholic · 08-13-2007, 07:50 PM

When I have a bad day or I am feeling sad I just sit with my dogs and it cheers me right up. I could not live without pets. I could live on an island with just animals and no people and be happy!!

For My Coby · 08-13-2007, 07:54 PM

They are the only reason that my daughters get to go to college. Otherwise, I'd lock my daughters in this house and never let them leave. But with the furboys, I can let my girls get on with their lives. (Besides, there are a lot of toys, but Coby and Reggie don't mess up the house nears as much! And they don't even shed as much as my daughters!)

lara2913 · 08-13-2007, 10:23 PM

I feel the same, i've had a really tough few months just recently and have lost some loved ones. I honestly think if it wasen't for my furbabies I probably woulden't be here.

Amanda7 · 08-13-2007, 11:40 PM

I totally agree. Just tonight I said to my husband that I felt so blessed to have our two yorkies. They are both special little boys and smother us with love. The joy they give us is immeasurable. They are the first thing I think of in the morning, and the last thing I think of at night. I am completely captivated by their beauty and adorable personalities.

I can't imagine life without them. If I go out for a half hour to do errands, I miss them!

Amy81 · 08-14-2007, 04:37 AM

This is a GREAT post!!!!!! I would be soooo lost if i didnt have my baby. he cheers me up. because he does the silliest funniest things... and me and mom die laughing.!

Jody Renfroe · 08-14-2007, 06:03 AM

I've had a really, really tough 2007. Until I got Scooter I referred to it as my year in hell. I love my little guy so much...he asks for nothing and is thankful for everything that I do for him. I can pick him up, get yorkie kisses, and suddenly everything is better. I don't know what I'd do without him!!

yorkieusa · 08-14-2007, 06:43 AM

Some weeks are like nightmares! For sure! However, my Kacee is the ONLY reason I'm up a little after 6 a.m. and we're heading out for a two-mile walk. It's a wonderful way to start the day. She loves it and it gets me started on my day. Besides in this heat - it's 9:45 a.m. and it's 93 degrees - 6 a.m. is the only time of day she enjoys being outside!

LuvMySissy · 08-14-2007, 07:21 AM

I think that lots of us got our first Yorkie following something traumatic in our lives. There is something about holding a tiny puppy that many times remains a lap pup that can help you heal like none other.

Sissy followed two very traumatic family deaths in a 6 months period along with both my son and daughter moving out of the house and into adult life. She and Angel have made me a better person and better wife to my hubby as well!!!!

Emmsmom · 08-14-2007, 07:36 AM

Ok confession time!!!

I had always wanted a little dog really wasn't set on what kind. Then I started to see Yorkies pop up everywhere. I thought to myself... Small and they don't SHED!! So that was the reason I choose a Yorkie.

NOW the confession... LOL I found this site BEFORE I got Diesel and I must admit I thought you all were nuts! Then I brought Diesel home. I now speak fluent DBT (Dog Baby Talk),find myself buying him things that he doesn't need, and basically just spoiling him rotten.

He snuggles at night and needless to say he is the first thing I see and feel in the mornings. When he was a pup he use to sleep curled up around my neck

I think I would honestly loose my mind if something even happened to him. He is very attached to me as I am to him. I just never in a million years thought I would ever become this attached to dog. So yes I am hooked! LOL

Patti · 08-14-2007, 07:41 AM

I would be lost and so miserable without my babies. They are my joy and I find I don't want to even leave the house. I am so happy to just be with them.
