Thank you all for your input! I appreciate...

btw... my husband wanted to let you all know that he has been humping the fire out of his arm.
Lol, that sounds like a Yorkie! Seriously, you need to tell hubby to stop this behavior, we gave Joey a couple of stuffed toys, so he could play dominant one with those, but it's never a good idea to allow him to feel like he's dominant over humans. This is the way they show dominance, and Yorkie are very stubborn, it's best if they learn that humans are the boss. When he does this, say "No", and push him away, you don't need to scream or get agitated, but be persistent. Could be, the little guys a little anxious after being rehomed, but they actually feel safer if they don't feel like they are the boss, the boss, or pack leader has to protect the pack, and this in itself is very anxiety provoking. Just like a kid who feels safer when he know that his parents are the bosses, the same is true of Yorkies.

Here's a picture of Joey at around the same age, notice the hair coloring, and it just got lighter and lighter, and for a while he looked bald. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/alb...pictureid=1872
