I picked Piper up at the airport late Friday night and she is a very sweet, lovable little girl! I tried to post pictures on Saturday but my login had timed out by the time I went to post. We had company on the weekend so I wasn't able to get back on the computer. I will try to post pictures again tonight when I'm home. Now for all the questions.
How do you get your Yorkie to hold still long enough to take a decent picture? She's very cute but won't stay still long enough for the digital to take a good picture.
How do you keep them from looking like a ragamuffin 2 minutes after you've just finished combing? I'm guessing this is not possible, at least at this age (15 weeks).
She's had a cough since getting of the plane but I've posted this on the Sick forum. Her breeder thinks it's canine influenza? I'm trying to keep her away from my Springers so they don't catch it. She's going to the vet today for a check up and I'll ask the vet.
I'm planning on keeping her in our kitchen (with baby gates) when no one is home. She'll have food, water, a bed, toys and lots of papers/peepads. She'll be able to see the cats and hopefully won't be too lonely. If I didn't already have two dogs (not including Piper) and four cats, I would've gotten two Yorkies to keep each other company. Does this sound okay? I was planning on covering half the floor with papers and gradually making the area smaller as she learns to pee on the papers.
At night she sleeps in my bedroom in her crate. I'd probably have her sleep with me except she's not potty trained yet.
That's it for now. Sorry for the long post. I'm sure I'll have dozens of questions yet. Thanks everyone!
