This is my first actual post on here. I'm trying to figure everything out. There are some very cute yorkies on this board!
My baby's name is Tera (registered Kathy's Terabyte of Fun). This is my very first yorkie, so I have been reading a lot! I brought her home just over than 14 weeks of age. She is now almost 23 weeks. I can't believe she is going to be six months old soon! She is small, not even 3# yet (more like 2 3/4). Her breeder said she would probably be about 3 1/2# as an adult.
Herein lies my problem. She is very small, but wants so much to play with other dogs. My sister has 2 yorkies, and we traveled to her house a couple of weeks ago. Tera was chasing them both around wanting to play. My sister's dogs finally warmed up to her on day 3 and they started playing with each other. I sure wish we lived closer!
My son brought his westie over yesterday. The westie is about a year old, but has been re-homed now the third time. The westie (being a terrier) wants to chase small critters (which Tera happens to be). Tera wants so bad to play with Riley, but I think it is a death wish of sorts. Riley tends to be really rough. Yesterday we set up an x-pen in living room. They kept trying to get to each other, and even started running back and forth running and barking. My hope is that at some point Riley will understand that Tera is little, and she is a dog, not a critter to chase.
Any ideas out there? I may try to post a video in a bit.
Anyway, I am happy to join this community, and have decided to finally come out of "lurk" mode.
