| Driving directions Does your yorkie know driving directions and recognize familiar places? I am a hardcore predictable creature of habit and take the same routes to the places I visit. I swear if ZoE could talk, she could navigate my way there. And upon recognizing where she's going, she responds accordingly. Today we went to the vet. As soon as I turned on the road I take to get there she started what I'd describe as her happy/nervous bark, that let's me know she knows where she's going and while she loves all the attention she gets there, she's not too keen on what they do to her. When I turn on the road going into my parents subdivision, it's a super happy bark she does. When I go to the bank, there's no reaction. We go through the drive thru, there's no people to visit and they give her a treat she will never eat, and she clearly demonstrates her lack of interest in the place. When I turn down the street to the local walking trails & dog park, she begins her crazy happy excited barking. Does your yorkie recognize where you're driving to and react accordingly?

| Sophie Kate knows the directions to a lot of places. She will practically jump out of her Snoozer when we get to my Vets office (with excitement). She LOVES going there, she loves her Vet and the Techs. She also cries when we drive by Lowes and do not go in, her favorite store because all of the people who work there pet her and make a fuss.

| Cali always amazes me how she knows where she is! What I think is really remarkable is that at the 3 or 4 airports we fly to frequently she knows exactly where she is when we get off the plane and always turns in the correct direction to get to the baggage area -- kind of like she can read the signs. Then she knows which way to go to get a cab! She amazes me

The mean male teller didn't send treats once and Max and Teddy sounded like they were crying when we drove away. It was so sad, so I had to stop and buy them something. Max and Teddy are like ZoE and know directions. When it is time to turn, Max paws me on the shoulder and whimpers. They both whimper with excitement when they know we are going to a favorite place.

| Mine know the way to the dog park. As soon as we turn at the stop light they start to whine(for about 5 min) till we get there. Bubba knows the road to the vet as he loves going there to see his favorite vet. Sissy pretends she doesn't-she hates going there and knows when she goes out without Bubba that it isn't a good sign. We travel to So. Carolina a couple of times a year and they sleep most of the time but as soon a we turn onto the main road to home they wake up and start to whine. Funny about the bank-mine pass on the Milk bone also. They have also passed on the Starbucks milk bones too

| Going back in time lol, I had 3 girls, and was a camper, had a trailer at a camp ground, a 2 hour trip, 1 1/2 hours was a straight ride, at my exit there were 4 turns to reach the campground, at second turn all 3 would start whining, 3rd turn they were getting antsy, 4th turn into the campground they were barking and jumping around my mini van, they knew where they where lol, it was their week end of running free, hunting,swimming, boating, their doggie and ppl friends and lots of Frisbee playing. I miss those girls and those days with them.

| Sophie Kate is always up for a good Milk Bone. We have an ice cream place here caleld Brusters, they give out free dog sundaes if you dog is with you. Sophie Kate will always stick her nose up at the ice cream/yogurt part and chows down on the Milk Bone they use as a topping. Bruster is one of the places she does not know, which is unusual because she spends some quality time there during the Summer months.
