Of course, puppies are sooo playful, it does take awhile to slow them down. However, my Chloe never slowed, she'd do the same, bring a toy, drop it at my feet and bark until I played with her. I'd get so tired. Her favorite thing is to chase her ball/fetch to me for a piece of peeled apple. I think she could do that for two hours nonstop. I hate to admit it, my solution was to get another yorkie so I would not be so guilt ridden when I was too tired for play. Having a companion makes a big difference and Lacey was easier to train because she follows Chloe. I then fenced my backyard, which is 1/2 acre so they could run and run. I basically wear them out so by nightime they are as tired as I am. I make sure I'm outside with them, though, we have some pretty aggresive owls and hawks that could scoop up tiny Lacey in a second. I can say night night to Lacey and she cannot wait to get into her kennel, run right in and drops that cute little head on her blankey. Chloe, however, will run and hide under daddy's bed, she never wants to give it up. |
