Ann,
Thank you so much, all that helped very much. As for the food, the lady...WOW she was a odd one, well she has a shelter for dogs,which I think is wonderful, I called her a few days after we had CoCo cause she wouldnt. I let the 1st day go, but by the 2nd day I I was concerned, and wanted to know what she fed her,or if she had certain color bowl ect,and her reply was..."I feed them what ever is on sale or donated,or I boil hamberger" so 1st thing came to my mind was she gave them/her table scrapes or what ever was on sale. So I did the slowy mixing the wet food and dry food, and the vet said try broth in the dry food, or even try plain yogurt. She eats just fine now, she likes wet food better then dry, and she does like the soft better then dry, I do try to mix it up together. She acts totally fine after she eats. After I sat and thought about all night she doesnt seem to eat the dry food as much as she does the wet or even soft. The wet food last not even a minute in her bowl,and the dry can be in there all day. So I am thinking I am going to have to cut the dry food out and just do wet and soft. I just have always heard dry is better,but you should still give wet food as well. But like I said she doesnt act funny at all, shes normal playful,running,jumping,trying to body slam the other dog all the time! Shes such a bully! I figure it will take some time for me to figure out and for CoCo to figure what she likes and what will work with her.
I have noticed she eats grass like a cow,she eats sticks,she eats anything.... my other dog does it to, they both are always outside just eating grass like its nothing. I would be worried but my other dog has did it since we've had her which was since she was 8 weeks old
The can thing I am going to have to try that, cause the spray bottle thing worked until my kids (who are teen boys) would just use it when they wanted her to away from them ect....in other words they didnt use it for the right thing, I noticed i would spray her and say no bark and she would stop but a min later she would do it again. CoCo thinks she owns the street, lady across the street going have a heart attack everytime she gets her mail!
Do

Does anyones yorkie HATE the car????? CoCo gets so sosososo car sick, once we put her in the car within 1 min she is drenched in drool,she just lays there,and she will get sick and sometimes she doesnt get sick until we get where we are goinging. But I have never seen a dog drool like this,she looks like she stuck her chin in her water. I am looking into some motion/car sickness meds. She doesnt even want to get in the car, poor thing I feel so sorry for her!

Both my dogs are going to be mad at me in a few weeks (after we move) cause in the new house we have 2 living rms, and one is hard wood,and 1 I just had new carpet laid and new furniture,so the dogs will not be aload in the one with new carpet, but thats ok,cause the other one will have the furniture we have now in it and its more the rec rm...I've made it the my teen boys living rm so they dont live in their bedrms.
