Hello everybody,

For a start I would like to apologize for my deficient English. : )

I just got, 3 weeks ago, a little female yorkie (Bit) she's 9 weeks old now.
It's been a while, or should I say a long time (25 years) since I had a dog...
I'm a "little" rusty in that matter and I'm sure I will need your help a lot.

I've always had cats since and have two of them now, two females (Pussy & Kitty).
They're not happy with "the invader" but they're not aggressive either.
They go "fsssss" whenever they cross her, Pussy gives her a slap from time to time, but she doesn't use her claws. I think they only want to make clear who's in charge. Bit doesn't seem very impressed by them, she's respectful and cautious but now she even barks to them from time to time, she wants to play... I think they just need time to be friends.

Everything is going fine with the dog, I think.
She had a little colite (?), but I took her to the Vet and she seems fine now.
She also had a beginning of an otitis but it's gone now too.
Apart from that she's wonderful (not house-broken yet, but I understand it's normal for her age), very playful, energic, sleeps a lot and eats very well...

I however wonder if you could help me with this particular question:
My girl seems to be terribly "pussy" (LOL) in some ways...
She's not afraid of people, or noises, or even other animals, in that way she's very courageous.
But she cries like hell, like if I was trying to kill her, and tries to escape, when I do anything to her... when I brush her, when I clean her paws, her ears, anything, she just can't stand to be touched... And believe me, I'm really gentle!
Is this normal?
How do I deal with it?
She doesn't complain at all if the touch is to play or to be caressed, she likes it a lot. My 5 year old son plays with her all the time and she never, ever, complained. She just doesn't want to be taken care of, like in toilet things...
