i dont want to come off as not spoling my yorkies because i think i do
but some of those "neglected traits" really dont sounds like neglect to me.
not walking on a leash, mayve they carry her and they might not take her to parks and such i dont. some of mine give me trouble on leashes and wont walk on them. some of mine know simple obedience and some dont. some play with toys and some dont. some want to play with other dogs and some dont. i would never trust my dogs to run leashless anywhere but the back yard and even then they tried to escape to seek that adventure.
if hses older teeth will start to decay, if the mainly fed her soft food thats a factor in bad teeth. if she is an only dog thats why she isnt comfortable playing with other dogs. and if she isnt around other dogs often, which that sounds like whats going on, then that would explain her being anti social and space hogging.
we had little girl first for years and we took her out and about but not with other dogs. we didnt take her to parks to run wild and i dont see us as neglectful for doing that, but when we added other dogs she was/is antsocial with them, jealous of people and space and she doesnt play with toys never has. even though we did buy her toys. its the dogs personality
grooming i bathe and comb them and trim them my self but rarley do i go down under unless there is a specific area that needs something done. sometimes i shave the hineys but not all the time. yes nails should be done, sometimes i get a little lazy and might go a few weeks before doing it but i do, trim the nails and that is a neccessity
as for yelping when she is pet by your hubby. is their a man in her life now at home? maybe she hasnt been around men. maybe her personality is when i want to be petted by you i will come to you. maybe being older she is sensitative in spots. i had a dog live to be 18 and that was her sometimes. you didnt know you were hurting her but she would yelp, they get older and they get brittle
so i personally dont think its a case of neglect and i dont mean to be rude but sometimes some people overreact because they do things differently then others. some people see there yorkies as princess/princes to be spolied beyond means and some people see them as loving pets to hold and cuddle but know the line between pet and people and some people see them strictly as dogs (which by the way they are) im in the middle i love my to death but i do draw the line at certain points.
so i dont believe this is a yorkie in distress that needs rescuing. |
