Hi, Francie.
Sorry it's taken me so long to reply today. The "zoo' has been a circus today. LOL
I had a doctor appointment this morning, and it's a real trip to take the girls out, get ready, feed the girls, and Sweetie. And get out the door on time.
Oh boy, Harry and Pickles sound like a riot! I am not a bit surprised that Harry 'fessed up and retrieved the hidden toys, 'cause Yorkies are so smart!
Years ago, when I first got into Yorkies, a friend was a breeder, and whenever she traveled, I would puppy-sit. It was not unusual for me to have mom, dad, and a litter of puppies following me around. One of my friends females, Mindy, was a "runner". We were all out in my fenced yard, when Mindy squeezed her way under my gate, and down the alley. Well, I was on her tail like a shot! I knew I was never going to catch up, so, I squatted down in the alley, and called very sweetly, "Mindy, c'mon to back to me, baby". She stopped and turned, and looked at me, and I kept talking to her, and she ran back to me and I scooped her up, and hugged and and told her, "Please don't run away from Auntie Sheila, 'cause it would break my heart." When my friend returned, I told her what happened, and she replied, "Oh, I should have warned you, "Mindy's a runner"."
Yes, the duckling is a real duckling. I raise orphaned wildlife babies, and right now, I have a female mallard that I hatched from an abandoned egg, 8 weeks ago. My girls are actually very good with the babies. My little Kia loves babies and always wants to kiss them.
Well, speaking of Sweetie, I need to get her outside, I've been gone all morning, and she needs to go swimming.
