He's worse than a needy/clingy child!!!

[erino77]

Oh my, Koda has been something else lately! I don't know what has gotten into him. He is 15mos old and acts like a needy, clingy 1 yr old child, lol! Kind of like my youngest boy who was attached to my hip from birth to 3 1/2 years old 24/7! The past 2 weeks or so he has been on my heels, licking me or in my face non-stop. Same with DH. If he is not touching one of us and were not giving him 100% of our attention at all times he will sit there and litterly whimper and cry so pathetically! DH was testing him with this the other day by sitting on the couch beside me and covering his own face w/ his hands so Koda couldn't see it. Koda would sit there and whimper or come running over to me and crying while looking back and forth from me to DH like saying "Mooommmmm, Daddy won't look at me!" DH would move his hands from one side of his face to another to "juke" Koda and he would try to peek around it and when he couldn't sit there and cry! With me he has been licking me NON-stop and just sit there and look at me with his tongue hanging out smiling like he's saying "Hi Mom, it me Koda! see me I am right here! Play with me!" lol! if I am not directing all of my attention to him. Also he will sit and bark his high pitched bark which usually means he is trying to tell us something. Yes, I know my babies barks and what the tones/pitches of them mean, to those who may wonder
Gosh I love him to death, but it's kind of ridiculas, lol!
We have not had any family, food, house changes recently that would trigger this. Nor have they furkids been left at home for more than 3 hours at a time to cause him to feel like we are abandoning him. They are totally SPOILED He has been to the Vet in the past 3 mos and his health checked out A-OK!
Kammie is her usual bitter sweet self, lol! Boy, does this girly have quite the spoiled little girl attitude, lol!
So is he just going through a phase do you guys think? I thought maybe it was cause my skin kids have been outside a lot playing in the nice weather, and he wants to go out and play too?!?! BUT Koda & Kammie get tons of outside playtime, so he is not deprived by any means,

What could be going on with him? It's kind of over the top

To be honest with you that is Buddy every waking minute of the day and
he's 4 I think this breed could never, ever live without being in the
lime light every waking minute. My heart breaks for those Yorkies who
do not get this attention when they crave it so.
Your baby, maybe, is just catching on what he can do more for attention.
He will never leave you alone now, Never! LOL
Enjoy
I can't even go into the bathroom without him on my lap looking up at me.
Sick huh?

[Bizzymammabee]

I think this breed is predisposed to that behaviour...lol

[missanimelvr]

i agree, i think this is just how Yorkies are. My baby is getting worse the older he gets. i could be sitting literally RIGHT next to him but if i'm not cuddling or playing with him he starts whimpering. When i leave the room he gives me this "where the heck do u think YOU'RE going??" look. it's hilarious that such a cute, sweet face can be so EXPRESSIVE. lol!

lol! Yes, Koda will follow me to the bathroom and just sit there and stare at me the whole time tongue out and smiling Kammie will sit outside the shower and peek her head around the curtain every minute or so to see how I'm doing! Then as soon as I get out she wants to lick my feet and legs while they wet EVERY time
My furkids certainly does not lack attention, I live my day around making them content it seems
Maybe Koda and Buddy need to get together, they sound a lot alike

[erino77]

Bizzymammabee, I think your right, lol!
Missanimelvr, thats exactly how Koda is I just love the expressions they make

LOL Wouldn't that be nice. Do you think they would keep each other
company? At least for a minute? Probably not. They would be too
busy looking for Mommy! I think they are just plain ole"Mommy's
Boys".

Sure would! They could prob keep company for short time, then they would need a dose of us! What Momma's boys we have! Could we be any luckier, lol!

[yorkieusa]

Sounds just like a yorkie to me.

No. You most certainly are not the only one.

[maxmom]

Oh, so you are also having a privacy issue???No bathroom time alone, no shower, no nothing, if I'm doing the dishes and have my back to him , he starts crying and jumping, for me to pick him up and seat him on the kitchen counter so he can see my face, he is not allowed on the kitchen counter,but my mom sat him there once and he loved it, he is so spoiled....

you know Jaya is like this also - I thought it was because she just got fixed, which may be the case, but its been almost three weeks and she wants me 24/7. Right now, I can hear her huffing and puffing outside of my bedroom door. There are three other people sitting out there - my inlaws and broinlaw - who all love the girls, yet instead of basking in their attention, she's sitting on my slippers outside my bedroom waiting to be let in.

Jenna on the other hand... has always been a big cuddle bug, but really, i dont think she could care less if we were around lol.... at 9 months old, i think she is still figuring out her identity cuz she's a strange one lol

you know...all I can say.. is enjoy it. I dont know about you, but I love it.

Yep... My Suzi needs to be with me 24/7. If I close the door to the bathroom she cries, and stays right there waiting for me. Shesleeps on my bed, follows me EVERYWhere, and I have to give her to my son at times, just so I can clean up the poo... She thinks I am playing around... She is definately our baby. Either she is with me or my son all the time. I did not want to crate her, or lock her in a room, she is part of our family and very, very spoiled. Every day she seems to behave more like a child the a puppy. We love her so much. I do not think you can love a Yorkie too much

[fufufashions]

aren't yorkies just precious!!?? I think they are all like that. I have 4 potty partners and a full parade wherever i go in the house! If i shut the door to the bathroom, they stick their noses under the door and start scratching on the door or stick their paws under the door and try to get my attention...do they think i am going to escape somehow??
Yep...i always have an audience whatever i am doing.
