Well today she goes to the groomer!!! I don't know if it's the right "yorkie thing" to do but I am having her shaved & starting all over with her hair because it feels totally like straw! My thoughts were if we start over & I bathe & condition her regularly it may feel softer. IDK I'm trying it we'll see. As far as pottying the accidents are less often but still happening. She is gated in the kitchen everyday (I work 4 days a week) she goes on the pad when she is in there gated up BUT if she is in the living room with all of us she will just simply squat & not even bother to walk into the kitchen & use the pee pad! Very annoying
She also barks her fool head off when shes gated also very annoying
I have discovered she has very bad peridontal disease...her breath was very bad so I went & bought doggie toothpaste & toothbrush & cam home & tried to brush her teeth, well her gums just bled & bled (I work for a dentist) so obviously this is the cause of her bad horrible breath. She does need to get fixed so I will also have them do a dental while she's under. I also guess this is why she doesn't like chewies or bones or anything you would normally give a dog to chew on
. The poor thing doesn't even like to play with toys, not ropes, not balls, not stuffed animals....NOTHING! I swear I have no idea what her old owner did with her
because she obviously did not bathe, brush, play, give treats, brush her teeth nothing nothing at all! I'm just glad I "saved" her from a lax owner & can now try & train & love her to pieces!!!
I have a picture in my photo album of Princess the day I brought her home AFTER I spent 2 hours brushing out most of her mats & I will try & post some more after her grooming appointment today.
THANKS
to everyone for their congartulations & advice
MOMMY TO PRECIOUS & PRINCESS
