And yes, he is a typical yorkie...they are lap dogs and little shadows.  He is probably attached to you because you are probably his sole caretaker. I bet you are the one who feeds him and cuddles him? not that that is a bad thing, just that he's probably seeing you as the pack leader. Good luck and I am sure things will work out for you.
My Hot Rod is a total momma's boy, as soon as I sit on the couch, he's jumping off of daddy's lap and in mine. |
By not typical, I mostly mean that it's almost like there's NO terrier in there!
He isn't much of a player or anything. He just lays next to me all day long. He starts to get a little hyper at night sometimes, and that's the ONLY time I've been able to get him to play. He does bark at noise, and at our cat, though!
Thanks for the advice! I've been trying to have dh give him treats and special attention. Unfortunately, dh is not happy about the accidents Jack has had in the house, despite the fact that I tell him Yorkie's are harder to house train. We'll get there, though!
