| I'm Bored Not me, but you know who . Gus looks at me, and his eyes tell me, "I'm bored, give me something challenging to do". I won't list everything I've tried to keep him occupied, and challenged. The only thing that works is getting into endless mischief if I don't offer an alternative. The most frustrating, though, is playing fetch. I throw the toy, and he sits and watches it fly across the room, and then watches me fetch it. The second most frustrating is walks. He won't walk away from the house. So, I carry him for a few blocks, knowing he'll walk back. If there is a neighbor in the yard, he stops and stares at them, and won't continue the walk. I wonder if having a Yorkie playmate would be a positive experience for Gus, i.e., a playmate he will play with & not quickly get bored with. I did see an add for a Yorkie that I like a lot on another YT message board. However, I don't think I can realistically get him.

| That was funny! I think a playmate might do the trick My boy let off me a whole lot once I got another. They keep each other occupied and I can actually get the dishes done! |

| Maybe its in the name? I have a Gus too, turned one on October 12th. He is my first boy....He has plenty of playmates around my house and it truly helps. He is such a sweetheart though! |

| You're playing with me. My Gus turned one on October 12th. What a coincidence. His real name is Gustav, but we call him Gus for short.

| Oh really...It was a good day! My Gus is from a litter of 7, He was the one that I had to bottle feed every 2 hours. I named him Gus Gus because after he ate he looked like the little fat mouse from Cinderella. Oh and he absolutely hates to walk..I carry him. |
