[Lady of Yorkies]

Autumn is in heat, so is Lady. We are going to let Mr. Big be Lady's boyfriend. If he's still too young, that's ok. We are going to take Autumn to Mr. Big's father.

We went and bought one of those octagon pens to keep them in so Pirogue can't get to them. Either the girls are in the pen or Pirogue is in there. At night the girls get locked in the bedroom with us and poor Pirogue gets the run of the rest of the house. I have to switch them back and forth cause the pen is in the living room and I don't want the food and water in here. Sometimes we send Pirogue or Lady out to the pen outside and the others have the run of the house.

Autumn sits and howls and screeches to be kept so far away from me. So I've been putting her on a leash and keeping her right next to me when Pirogue is in the house. I just did this a few minutes ago, she wanted to go play and throw her "thing" in Pirogue's face.

I looked down at her and she was sitting all hunched up, ears pulled down, little tail curled to her side, giving me the most pitiful look. Poor little thing. She was so sad it was funny. I'm such a mean mommy!

Neither girl is ready so Pirogue isn't driving us crazy yet. Sylvia
