Have you decided on a name yet? Please post some pictures when you can. Good Luck and don't hesitate to ask questions, there are so very many knowledgeable people here.  |
His name is Osito. It means little bear in Spanish. When I saw him with his siblings he stood out to me because of his face. Even though he was not the smallest one in his litter (I originally wanted a "tea cup" sized yorkie), I fell in love with him. I have no regrets!
So far, I have left him in his kennel, and let him roam the house every now and then when I can watch him. I will be getting an x pen soon, that way he can roam around in it and get potty trained.
I hear that potty training a yorkie is quite difficult, so hopefully he's a fast learner :P Either way I will give him all the love and patience.
