| New to YT Hi everyone, I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I'm Jackie, proud new Momma to an 11 week old Bella. She is my first small dog and I have had a lot of questions already so i've been lurking and learning a ton from all of you. I'm finding that not everyone wants to hear my talking about my baby girl all the time so this would be the perfect place for me to hang out. Other then Bella we have another 6 week old pup Chloe, she is a Boston terrier and 2 labs, black named spooky (2yrs) and yellow named Willow (10months). We also have a kitty cat named raven (4yrs). We have always had large breed dogs and when we lost out last 2 labs we replaced them right away which is how we now ended up with all young dogs. It's nice having them so close in age but when you lose them close together its really tough. I do have one question about harnesses for tiny yorkies. I take Bella potty outside right now and I will use puppy pads in the garage in inclimate weather. I have been unable to find a harness that fits her, even the ferret harness I got is a bit big. I don't care for that one anyway because it goes on her neck so it seems to defeat the reason for the harness in the first place. I have a step in one in the smallest size but it was so lose she wiggled right out of it today. So, for the time being i'm using a collar when she goes out potty and it scares the daylights out of me that she will get hurt. Any suggestions on a harness that might fit? |

| Hey Jackie! Looks like you got good answers already on the harnesses. I was able to find a step in harness at my Petsmart, in the "tiny dog" section... My 13 week old pup is just a tad over 2 lbs and it could be smaller if we wanted it to be. I am going to order from the ladies they listed here, I just wanted to get something fast, so am introducing this one for now. Good luck --- your little Bella is SWEET!!!
