My Lola is 7 months old. I have heard that yorkies will usually pick one member of the family as their favorite. She has chosen me! She has to keep me in her sight at all times! When I leave the room she will whine and try to come get me. I have three kids who adore her, but if I leave she does not care about any of them.
I try to have them take her outside to potty and all she does is stand at the door and try to look for me. She wont potty for them very often. When I leave her to run errands my kids say all she did was look for me and she wasn't any fun.
I have to say that she does okay when we are home alone. My kids are in school all day so if I have to leave she will just lay on her bed and sleep. She never appears anxious or bothered when I tell her goodbye.
I love Lola but when will she cut the strings? Is this a puppy thing? She did not come from a abusive/neglectful past and we waited to bring her home when she was 12 weeks. She is just so attatched to me! I am her primary caretaker and we really bonded but WOW! My husband calls her my little lamb.
Will she get more independent? I try and have my kids do more for her so I don't have to, but Lola still wants her mama more then anything! I am not really complaining, just more wondering if it is a phase or just a yorkie thing.
Thanks!
