Please don't take it personal when someone voices an opinion that you disagree with. This is a back and forth type of chat, sometimes we don't have all the facts and make wrong assumptions. My own feelings have been hurt and at times and I felt unjustly attacked. But over time, I realized that the people on here LOVE YORKIES and go to extraordinary measures to do what they think is right for them. There are some very strong opinions and diverse idiosyncratic ways of dealing with the same issue. I don't think many people here are familiar with the lovely outside cabin you have made for your doggies. I even noticed the nice doggie door. Perhaps some assumed it was an outside building for garden tools or something. I think you have wonderful set up for your Yorkies. Now to chat about the loud growl noises. I have two, 5 month old puppies. They make astounding sounds. If I had not raised puppies before and heard the yips, growls,whines, screeches coming from someones home, I would think something was very wrong ! I think this is what happened to you. Not to worry, your puppies are healthy, happy and have a wonderful home. As they get older the play will get calmer and less noisy. Hugs Teresa |
