| Well this is a bit strange... I'm a little bit concerned with the latest development from Natalie Land. In case anyone didn't read my intro post, hear it is in a nutshell. We got Natalie about two months ago as a birthday present for me from a respectable breeder, and so far, everything is wonderful! She is now about 5 months old and a bundle of energy! She is my first, and only Yorkie so far, but I'm sure others are to come in the future! But lately she has developed a taste for the tiny, black, charcoal-looking things in our fake fire-place. They are small enough for her to swallow, and I've gotten every one so far, but I'm worried that I might miss one one day. She doesn't have access to them when we aren't watching her, but I still worry. Any ideas? <3 Natalie and Family

| I would just go to the vet just to be sure she doesn't get sick or anuthing-just to be sure.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Welcome! Can you use something else instead of the charcoal things? Or out a screen in front of it? They are so quick to get into things they shouldn't!!

| Thanks for the suggestion, but they are really, really tiny, only about the size of a pea and it would take forever to get all of them out I'll keep watching her closely though, and there is a screen in front of it

| I agree that the best solution is to remove them but if you are unable to do that perhaps you could spray them with Bitter Apple or put a temporary cover over them - just until she matures a little more and looses interest. Good luck. |

| I would just remove them, if that can't happen, a screen would be your best opinion. Better safe than sorry!

| How does she get them with a screen? Is she crawling over it? I would make it so she couldn't possibly get in there or remove them totally. Her safety should be first and foremost.
