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

simonandhallie · 08-13-2007, 04:49 PM

Do you ever look at your babies and wonder what it would be like if you didn't have them? And wonder why people don't have pets?

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.

I'd be lost without mine. Their my best friends.

paulapoo · 08-13-2007, 04:56 PM

Oh, I'm totally with you. People ask me what I'd do without them and I say.."I'd probably have a boyfriend because I'd leave the house more often". When I come home from work I'm just overwhelmed with love. I sit and stare at them with such adoration. the unconditional love means so much to me. Good Luck with everything and keep lovin those babies!!

I agree. Mine are the reason right now I get up in the morning and function through the day. It's so nice to be loved uncondtionally by these little munchkins.

My furbabies mean soooo much to me I don't know what I would do without them. They give me purpose and so much happiness in life. I don't know how people live without ever having owned a pet. I totally understand what you mean.

BTW, I hope everything works out for the best for you. Keep your chin up!

I know my little fur baby fills up my day and I am happy to have him. Once all the kids are grown and you are alone, you need a fur baby.

Graleyne · 08-13-2007, 05:34 PM

I completely understand! There have been a couple of times in my life when I don't think I could have pulled through without my babies.

Potter · 08-13-2007, 05:34 PM

I am a person that just cannot really function being on my own because I used to live with my family and we usually function as a family (other than when I am working). It got really lonely when I first got married and moved to Canada from South East Asia and my husband worked long hours. The first 6 months wasn't good as I didn't have a dog and was alone most days and the fact that I am very shy with strangers doesn't help either. Then my husband bought Siu Pao for me. I am so blessed to have him. Things are better now although I do not really have alot of friends but I am more at peace and more adapted. I am very happy to wake up in the morning and Siu Pao is by my side waiting for me to wake up

Now I try to roam around the city on my own with Siu Pao by my side and it helps so much.

I agree! I don't know how I got through life BEFORE I had them. Now I can't imagine life without them...nor do I want to.

littlewhip · 08-13-2007, 05:42 PM

I can so relate to you, there are many bad days here for me, and my furkids really keep my going, they play a big part in my therapy, I love to talk about them with you all , since we all have that yorkie love among us

looking and sharing at others babies really make me happy

alaskayorkie · 08-13-2007, 05:50 PM

Great post.

And they are much cheaper than therapy!

LoveMyJake · 08-13-2007, 05:56 PM

That's how I feel. Jake means so much to me, I can't even put it into words!

I can also soooooo relate to you... I love my lil furry bear...

He makes my days sooo much better... those kissies...and cuddles... makes me sooo happy

I know how it can be when it is rough... and you see them there you cant help but smile... and hug them and everything!

It is special...

i feel the same. If i didn't have Layla in my life last summer there wouldn't have been any reason to get out of bed. I too am ridden with guilt at times because i have not been the best mom but i know she forgets all of that stuff and loves me for what i do for her today

I've never loved a pet like i love her, and i can't figure out why everyone doesnt' have a yorkie!

rrosenberry · 08-13-2007, 06:02 PM

Yes! I often say..What did I do before I had you??
Hope things get better for you.. but you can still come to Ohio.
