Good luck with him then! Luckily little dogs only make little messes. The messiest part of Maggie is that she leaves her toys everywhere because she is a very spoiled pup. Assuming he is a yorkie or a yorkie mixed with another non-shedder he shouldn't be messy in that way.
I can't stop my Debbie Downer ways today....watch what you feed him. The chicken meat is ok, but the skin is very fatty (for people too!). Try to take it easy on the people food. There are a lot of stories about pancreatitis on these boards which I think is caused by a fatty diet, but I'm not sure. A favorite treat of most dogs I know is chicken jerky. You should do a search on it and I suggest buying a cheap dehydrator on craigslist or Amazon and making your own. It saves me a lot of $ over buying it.
Enjoy your new baby. He will give you unconditional love and won't talk back, but he will always beg you to play and give him treats. Not too much different from the skin kids is it? (the second part!) |
