Hello Yorkie Nation.

Our first week with Lexie has been wonderful. I knew we'd love her, but I honestly didn't realize how endearing she would become so quick. I think we were all meant for each other.

I have 2 questions.

First - How do we keep her still for grooming? We cant' get anything done with her constant wiggling and wanting to bite the comb. Is there a trcik?

Second - House Training. I'm thinking about making her a small pen outside to put her in when we take her out to go potty. I thought we'd put her in it and if she goes we let her run around the rest of the yard as a reward. If not, no big deal. I am hoping that an outdoor bathroon pen will cut down on her distractions when she goes out to go potty - she's more in to exploring then pooping or peeing.

I look forward to your feedback. Thanks.
