 Hiding Yorkies
One of my Yorkies runs under a table when she knows I'm getting ready to pick her up and it's not because she doesn't want to go where I'm taking her. For example we will be in the living room and when it's nap time (for all of us) I will say, "who wants to take a nap?" Both dogs immediately perk up and start for the bedroom. Once in the bedroom, Gypsy runs under a table just out of my reach. She is very happy to get into the bed for the nap, she just avoids being picked up. It seems kinda like being "hand shy" which she also exhibits. She has some other little quirks, like standing at the water bowl and barking until someone comes and puts their hand on the dish to make it OK for her to drink! She seems very nervous about drinking the water and even jumps back like she is startled sometimes. I think she is just "high strung" or else she really has us trained (smile)! |
