Or with the kids - let them know you don't want them hanging on as you are out and about -- but, in turn invite them into your yard for 5 or 10 minutes - have them sit down and allow them to pet her for a few minutes & ask all their questions etc. This would be a great opportunity to explain to the children how fragile yorkies are and how they require special care. Most likely, doing this once or twice will help dissipate the interest of most of these kids. You don't even have to let them hold her, petting should be enough. If it overwhelms your girl then pick her up and say I'm sorry, I guess she isn't ready for this much attention yet. |
Great idea, they just do not understand
