With lots of patience and practice you and Sadie will get through it together.
If some of the "veteran YT'ers" were telling you to wait to bring Sadie home and you didn't take their advice and now you are complaining about the things they warned you about I can see why some on here would be frustrated reading your post.... Kind of like an "I told you so"....
Good luck with Sadie, they grow fast. Before you know it you will be looking at a beautiful full grown yorkie! |
i understand them saying i told you so if her health was in jeopardy or she was super sick when i brought her home, because majority of those posts were that she was automatically doomed to die or be really sick because of her breeder and because the's that young. well she didn't get sick so far *cross fingers* and she didn't die on me the first week, so there's really no i told you so in this...she's a healthy, happy, normal puppy. she eats plenty, sleeps plenty, goes outside to potty, and she's learning so fast it amazes me. being frustrated with a nibbling, whining puppy happens at all ages, it wouldn't matter if she was 8 weeks old or a year old, it's a new home, she's being left alone for some time and she doesn't like it, that's normal regardless of age. she's teething and she's a new member of a new pack, she's learning to adjust and age really doesn't have much to do with having to adjust to a new world.
thanks for the post and encouragement!! i don't think there is a reason to say "i told you so" because Sadie is as healthy and normal as she could possibly be, the inhibited bite thing she will learn from us with time, and she'll have plenty of socialization with other dogs and people when she's had all her shots.
