 sensitive little yorkies
From my experience (somewhat limited maybe) I do think yorkies can cry out of shock rather than pain some of the time. I know my little boy howls and cries when I clean his feet, give him a wash, take him to the vets etc. etc. He is very sensitive, he even cried out loud when I first put a lead on him. Yorkies are so tiny that we do need to be extra careful around them, I have stood on Oscar's foot twice and he once wriggled out of my arms and fell on to the kitchen floor, I think I was more upset about my carelessness than he was. Let's not be too hard on ourselves, we do our best and I do have to remember sometimes, he isn't a child, he is a dog, a hardy terrier and his ancestors used to pull rats out of holes, they can be tougher than they look!!
The bottom line is we all love our yorkies and we wouldn't hurt them for the world but we just need to need to take our time and keep our eyes open!! |
