The Yorkshire Terrier experience
You know you're a Yorkshire Terrier owner when...
●The prancing walk, not just walking but strutting, like the sidewalk is a runway and every squirrel is paparazzi.
●That single bark that sounds like it came from a dog four times their size, and the complete confidence behind it.
●The topknot drama, whether you do the bow or let them go natural, there's always a hair situation happening.
●Watching them pick a fight with a dog ten times their size and then being genuinely confused when you intervene.
●The way they burrow under blankets until they're completely invisible, then get offended when you accidentally sit near them.
