I have written before about how fortunate I am in that my 3 1/2 year old Yorkie hardly ever barks. I have had her almost a year, and she has probably barked 20 times (or so I thought).

She is the perfect Yorkie.

I have started to tape record her while I am gone. She is hardly ever alone, as my parents grandog sit alot.

Ends up she she pants non-stop, and barks constantly. She gets so worked up that it breaks my heart.

Unless I set up the recorder myself, I would never believe that this was my girl barking.

I think she could be doing harm to her nervous system, or possibly have a heart attack.

Does anyone else have this problem, and what can I do?

I am going to call the vet tomorrow to see if she can take a mild sedative, or something, but thought I would ask her before I call.

Thanks.

Kate
