Not every night but most nights when it starts to get dark Buddy will
take a bone or his baby and go under the chair in the living room
guarding it. Once in awhile he will join me in the family room but
most nights he prefers to be there. His personality is totally different
at night! If I go to give him a snack he will happily join me in the kitchen
eat it and run to protect that damn toy. He does not do this in the daytime.
He's loving, friendly and playfull and shares all his toys with me. I have worked
on that over the years.
Two nights ago I decided to pick up all the toys so he could not get to them.
I felt bad because he loves this rubber clown to death but I wanted to see
what would happen without it being around.

Walla, a totally different Buddy. He has spent the last two nights with me
watching TV.
There is no question this dog has given me a run for my money over the
last 5yrs and I have worked very hard to make him a good pet but he
certainly has had his quirks over this time.
Does anyone else have a Yorkie with a day and night personality?
I find it very strange that he thinks he has to guard this toy when it
get's dark out. I do not allow it in the bedroom when we sleep because
of this. Take it away and he's fine. Is this strange or what?
