| Panting? Whenever Emmy gets excited and run around, she sounds as if she was breathing heavy out of her mouth. I wanted to know if this is normal or what? It's only when she gets excited or is running around the house with a toy in her mouth? Anyone else's yorkie do the same? -Ashley & Emmy |

It's just like if you ran around the backyard at full speed, you'd be out of breath and breathing through your mouth too. It's actually a good sign that they're getting some exercise out of playing. I always make sure when I take my girls to the park that they hit the point where they're panting because then you know that they're getting some good exercise and are getting tired.

| Good question! I wondered that myself. Bella gets so excited chasing the cats she'll start panting and I actually have her "take a break" because I'm worried she's overexerting herself. I didn't know if because of her age (15 weeks) I should be cautious of this... |

| I am glad to hear it is normal. Ella does that a lot too and I am always a bit concerned. |

| Whenever I get out the leashes and harnesses, Brandy immediately starts jumping around and panting. It's her happy dance!

| Susan pants almost the whole time in the car -- even when it's really cold. We figure she's just excited. |

| I always thought panting meant that the dog was thirsty. I always bring Baby to drink when she's doing that. It usually means she is thirsty. Don't know what she is now since she's licking my toes! LOL

| Sounds normal to me. Any animal breathes harder when it runs or is very active - including us!!! Our oxygen requirements increase when we are active!! Carol Jean |
