Thank you for letting us share from afar the joy you are experiencing with your new baby. it brings back all the memories of when Marley, then Max came to live with me. Little Yorkies are expert at 'training you' without you even knowing it. Just today I realized my brilliant effort to train Max not to bark at the office was backfiring. When he barked, I would say, "No bark" and then pick him up and distract him. Soon I realized that while he was perched in the crook of my arm, he was surveying the area for whatever he wanted to get into next... and he had learned that when he barked, I would pick him up and hold him. Hmmm... who is training who!? |
