awe...thanks yorkiesmile and everyone else, your kind words mean a lot. You're right, YT member's love for their yorkies makes me want to be an even better dog lover. That's for sure. Yes, Zoe may be a dog in our house but she is a family member and even bears our last name on her registration papers.
shhhh....I couldn't bear it so we took her to Petsmart for a nail trim
. I know I was told not to do it but it broke my heart to see it that long and v's comment about it possibly affecting her pads. I hope no thinks negative of me for doing what the parents told me NOT to do. Everything else could wait but that. We've taught her 2 commands so far without treats believe it or not. I can't believe she didn't know a single command, not even 'sit' before she came to us. But she is asked to sit before she gets her bowl of food.
I doubt her parents will take her to the local meetups...the only reason they signed up was to get a sitter since they didn't want to pay $50 for daycare for the 12 days they were gone and we weren't charging a penny. They only found that meetup board at the suggestion of their neighbor who is part of the meetup. BUT I will comment that we'll miss their girl when she leaves and we hope to see them at the meetups.
