| Do they ever stop following you??? Pita (15 weeks) follows my every move. As much as I love her, I wish she didn't follow me everywhere. She will even get up to follow me if she is sleeping and then I leave the room. This makes me feel guilty for disturbing her sleep! Do any of your yorkies do this and is there an age that they stop? |

| same here! there is an email that goes around (i think it is called- Letter to a dog or something like that ) and part of it says For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years --canine or feline attendance is not required. |

| I usually only use the bathroom in our bedroom ... and it has no door (so my husband can get in/out easier). They follow me until they're assured of where I'm going. Then the run out and up "their" stairs to the bed and wait for me there. They're not stupid: the bed is MUCH more comfortable than the tile floor . When I'm ready to leave, they follow me back to the livingroom or wherever I'm going. I thought for a while that I should have named my little boy Shadow, for that's where he is: stuck to my heels. |

| Bobby is 16 months, and still follows me everywhere. If I get up he comes along. Doesnt matter where i go, upstairs, to the restroom, garage....anywhere. I am used to it now. I figure my baby just love me so much, he wants to go wherever I go. |

| My wife and I can't do anything without our little girl Sadie being on our heels. And always wanting to be picked up. Just love her and get use to it. |

| lol....Yesterday evening, I was in my recliner and Barney and Belle were sound asleep in my lap...I was sooo thirsty and had a headache also...I had my husband get up from his chair who was very comfortable himself and get me something for the headache and a drink so I would not disturb the babies' sleeping....How awful am I???? And he did it too...lol My babies follow me everywhere...Does not matter that I am coming right back or not...They're my "Shadows"....I get to the point I sometimes forget that they are following me that I am sooo used to it...People always comment "Don't you get tired of it?" I think...Duh they are my babies....

| I don't have my yorkie yet, but have a question about this. I want my baby Bentley to follow me everywhere when I finally do get him. But I read in another thread that it's good to not let your babies have full range of the house. I am going to buy the play pen for my baby...which will not allow him to follow me. Is there a time when I can let him have full range of the house as a puppy so that he will learn to follow me everywhere?

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I have at least 4 at a time follow me. I have gates between rooms to prevent it if I don't want to be followed. I love the way they follow like please don't leave me!

| I hope Roxy never stops following me! If she does I will be wandering through the house by myself - talking to myself! Aside from the wonderful companionship, look at the bright side...if they are not following you, you KNOW they are into something they shouldn't be, and you need to go and follow them!!!
