to be honest stitch is my 2nd kid lol, and im more attached to her than most of the ppl in my life. once it was mentioned she might have something wrong me n the kid have been going nuts, ill load pics and such tonight, is there a certain place to post them?? i will say my sister now wants stitch back lol, never gonna happen unless she clones her n i alrdy told her shes gotta pay me a puppy for the dna lmao. after reading othet posts i cant wait to show her off. |
Wow, your Stitch sounds like quite an entertainer! Like your Yorkie, one of mine is fascinated by other animal behavior and television. After six months (he's a rescue), he is just learning how to play with other dogs--one of mine and one of my mom's have been trying to show him what poses are invitations to play, and he's learned to copy those poses. He also understands human hand gestures can show him new things (how to flip a soda bottle to get a Cheerio out, where his little sister is hiding, etc.) It's amazing how intelligent these guys are and eager to learn and communicate.
(I have a feral cat who thought the tv was real and terrifying for the first week or so he was here, too, but Big Cat Diaries and Meerkat Manor became his daily fix. lol)
Hope that you find Stitch is just a genetic throwback to the larger Yorkies and isn't facing a pituitary issue or something. And welcome!
