Was she shy and a bit nervous before the move? It will take lots of patience. Some yorkies don't accept a complete change in environment well and yours has a new dog in the house as well.

Can you tell us about the dynamics going on between her and the playmate? What kind of dog and personality is the new playmate?

Thanks for responding.. No she is not pad trained, when she was a puppy she would always tear them up so she was never trained that way and still to this day doesnt really "understand" what they are used for. Before we moved, she was a very playful dog and LOVED to be outside, but OFF her leash. She loved to explore on her own. We did take her on walks and took her places where she had to be on her leash and she did fine then before we moved up here.

The new dog we have now is an 8 month old cockapoo. When we first got her it took some time for the two to start getting along, but now it seems as though they are getting along. Although the puppy is always wanting to play and Mandie wants time to just lay and be lazy some times, which I give her, because we put the puppy away.

Is this something that I should be really worried about and possibly take her to see the vet and maybe see if something is wrong, because it really didn't start until after the snow that we got?
