I have had my yorkie for about 2 days now. She is currently 2 lbs, 8 weeks old. Her mom and dad were both about 5lbs.

I have seen alot of discussion on pet shampoos but don't know really what to use. I have seen great things about petsilk but the closest place to get it is 2 1/2 hours. A lady that had her yorkie at the vet yesterday told me to use J&J baby shampoo and on the back of the coat not the head regular conditioner, but I'm not sure this is the best. Her dog looked more greasy than silky.

Also Cora is doing a great job at going outside to potty. We have only had one accident in the house which was totally my fault I was trying to do something real quick right after she woke up. I want to offer her some kind of snack as a reward but don't want to keep her from eating. Any ideas for snacks?

Also any advice to get her to not act like I am killing her at night when we put her in the crate? I leave it open all day and put small pieces of her food & toys in it. If I am really busy during the day and cant watch her then I put her in there. Yesterday during the day she cried for about 2 min when I put her in the crate the first time and the rest of the day she did really good. Last night was another story, and today we have been in once and she cried and cried. I feel bad but if I just turn around and let her out I know it isn't going to work. I want her in the crate for bedtime since she is so small I have seen horror stories of people getting up during the night and accidently stepping on the yorkie which has a very bad outcome most of the time. I am open to any advice you may have.

Thanks so much for the help & if there is anything else you think I should be aware of please feel free to tell me since this is my first yorkie. She is soo cute I will post pics soon.
