Does Tommy like to go for walks? ....... that might be something you could enjoy doing together. I think I'd stop the chase game if he's starting to be weird about it. If you rolled a tennis ball across the floor, would he chase it? Maybe some gentle tug of war? Is there a quiet place in the home you could feed him. I think I would just put his food down and get out of his way. Thats what I do with my dog. If he wants to be weird about it, just ignore it. Maybe watch from a safe distance to make sure he starts eating. I guess you'll have to stop calling his name while in another room and just go look for him. As far as the treat taking....let him accept them on his terms. I don't know.....just some suggestions. I do know that yorkies are SUPER sensitive and will pick up any frustrations felt by you. So....try to shake some of this stuff off, if you can. I know sometimes its hard if your not in the greatest mood. I hope you can work things out with little Tommy. I'm sure he loves you, trusts you (as much as he can), and is grateful to be able to live his life with quiet dignity. Daisy was quite a bit more independent than I would have liked. I felt a bit left out at times. But I just decided that I was gonna accept her as she was and love HER.. Guess what ......she LOVES her mommy back soooooo much.....and shows it in HER way. When I started to accept her ways, and just worry about what made HEr happy and what she needed, I started feeling the love I needed in return. |
