Aspen the Yorkie

My owners have finally figured out that I don’t like to be left alone.  I have never liked it, but in the past few years, it affects me more than it did when I was younger.

1. I can’t eat anything while they are away
2. I get sick and diarrhea for part of a day when they come home

If you think your dog is just an animal that doesn’t have feelings, you are wrong, we get very attached to our families, and think of all of you as our “pack” and when someone is missing from the group, we feel it.  We love our owners, and want to be with them.

Last week was one of those times when everything just wasn’t right, one of my owners got sick, so the whole “pack”, except me, went with him to the hospital…police came, medics came, and so did an ambulance.  I could sense the nervousness and anxiety they were feeling, and it made me sick, too.   Usually they leave some peaceful music on for me, but they forgot.

Things have quieted down now, everyone is home, and so far everyone seems well.  I’m happy and playing again, but do want you to know that you have to remember us, too, if you can…when things are going rough…we feel it too.

I’m so excited!  A few weeks ago I got an invitation from a very popular dog website called “Dog Time” to be a blog star.  They just started this program at their site, and asked if we would like to have our blog feed fed into it…I don’t know what that means, as I’ve told you before, dog snacks are the only thing I like to be fed, but this site wanted to be fed blogs.  Oh well, whatever that means, I’m pretty excited about it.  You can click on the button in the sidebar to the right to visit, it’s a HUGE site, and once you get there, it might be a while before you find your way back here.

Have fun, and come back soon!

It has been a long time since we have posted to the blog because my owners went to the jersey shore, and they didn’t take me, which made me very sad. Their son was here, but he had to go to work every day. He left “Animal Planet” on the TV for me, very thoughtful, but didn’t replace having my favorite people around me.

I was so happy when they got home, that I ran around the room and back and forth, just like most of us yorkies do when we greet the people we love! Now that my typist is back, we’ll have lots more to share in the week to come! She wants to go to bed, so I better let her stop typing, and give her a doggie-kiss good night.
