Hi, I'm new. I have two yorkies. Bijou was my dearest, sweetest boy. At 7 I had to go to work full time and leave him alone. He was so distressed I decided to get a second one just for him. We found a sweet little girl for him. It took him a month to get adjusted to her. They used to play and cuddle together so it was good. but, Bijou's main focus has always been, and remains ME. Babette however, does love Bijou, although now that he's getting older she will watch and wait for an opportunity to steal his food. He eats very slowly and sometimes walks away and then comes back. If I don't watch, she will steal it. I know she really cares for him though because once in the middle of the night she woke me with strange, rhythmic barking. I ran downstairs to see what was wrong. She was frantic. As it turned out, Bijou had wrapped his neck round and round my laptop cord and was pretty much trapped and hung. Babette saved his life!! My two are both very sweet, and very different. I love them both dearly. They are both 3.5 pounds. Bijou is 14, and Babette is 7. He is moving slowly, sleeping a lot, coughing, eating less, and limping, and deaf. He doesn't go up and down steps anymore. He still looks like a puppy though. I think he is still happy, but I don't think I will have him too much longer. I can't bare to loose him. It's nice to have a place to share where people will understand. |
