Oh my gosh! I just LOVED reading this thread!!! All of these stories just made me giggle! I can just imagine! Being a newer Yorkie Mom I am just discovering how funny these Yorkies are! I know we still have a lot to discover but the weirdest thing that Katie Scarlett does right now is her obsession with bubble wrap. Whenever we get a package in the mail or some falls out of a drawer in my scrappy space she goes nuts. She thinks she has to have it. Of course I supervise her, but I let her have it for a bit. She will come over and look up at me first. I guess she is waiting on me to give her the go ahead. I tell her 'take it' and she will scoop it up and take about 5 trips around the room in circles with it in her mouth. She then will lay it on the floor and if it rolls up at the edge, she thinks she just has to have it straight. So she'll paw at it and get it all smooth. She is such a girl! She cracks me up! She has to have it all just so so. So she'll fix it and lay down for like 2 seconds on it and then she repeats the whole process over again. She'll run with it and it just cracks me up. Then after a few times, she'll lay down on it and fall asleep. I guess it's like her version of one of those memory foam mattresses! LOL.
She does this with blankets too. She thinks she has to have them just so so before she lays down to sleep. She has 2 blankets that my Mother gave her. She had each blanket monogrammed with her initials and she has to lay her face on the monogramming. It's like she knows that they are just for her! This girl! I swear! She is such a little pampered princess!
One more thing she does it put herself in 'time out.' For example, when I am in my scrapbook studio, she is in there with me. But to keep her out of trouble, I set her up in her xpen. Well she isn't too crazy about it and even though she can see me at all times, she still wants to be right there with me. So she may get a bit rambunctious and bark a little too much. So I'll say 'Katie Scarlett, Enough' and if that doesn't work, I just pick up my Coca Cola can with the pennies in it. I don't even have to shake it anymore, she knows it by sight. And she knows when Momma picks up the can, she better behave. So she'll go and put herself in time out in her bed. She'll lay there for at least 15 minutes like she knows she got into trouble. She is so funny! I always love on her when she comes out though.
