KJC: I just don't know how you guys with multiple yorkies do it. I guess you have to carry a lot of poop bags with you!! Jeesh, I would be worn out trying to keep up with all of them. It also must be hard not to have a favorite doggie baby. If I had more than one dog, I know I would love Beanie more because she is so sweet.
The good thing about Beanie not just zooooomming all the time, is that my body is getting a break from the constant pounding of my feet on cement. I am pretty fit for an older chick, but the every day 60 - 90 total walking was taking a toll on my legs and back. Especially since a portion of that time was actual running with her.
So, I am turning the sniffing, sniffing, sniffing and not walking, walking, walking into a positive in that it is helping my body recover. She seems to do the most sniffing in the a.m., so I just let her go ahead and do it and then we sit on the bench in the sun (have to get our Vitamin D from the sun) and look at all the cars and people for awhile. She is a bit better on the lunch time walk. The after work walk is the best because she has a lot of pent up energy, so she is more receptive to walking more and sniffing less.
I have learned with this dog that every time I think she is settling into being a certain way, nope - she decides to do something totally different. So, who knows, next week she may decide to go back to zooming!!
