Oh that is sad. I was watching the dog whisperer and they actually used the term bullying for attention so I was not being completely original in using it. I think the term applies to this Yorkie as well as the Yorkie on TV that was being analyzed. I love this dog but I do not think it is a hopeless battle of her genetic makeup. I think there is hope that she can overcome her health issues and live a nice long natural life. That is what my whole family believes. This is my sister's dog. She has entrusted me to care for her on several occasions and I have done my best to keep the dog happy and healthy. Though I think sometimes she is spoiled and "bullies" me for attention in that she walks on my head when I am in bed, she jumps on me, and tries to sleep in between my legs at night so that I cannot move all night...I do not think it is sensible to loose sleep so she can sleep exactly where she wants...
