Hello! I just recently acquired my new yorkie, Mya. She is two yrs maybe 5lbs (I really think her hair is weighing her down, lol) and super cuddly. She literally could lay on my couch or in my bed all day!! This is my first experience with a super tiny dog, I have a morkie named Duke also that started out small and over night he just grew into a giant but his size suits his huge personality. Because they are so different I just wanted to hear from some been there did thaters that might have seen some of these concerns before. Mya does not play. If I get up she will jump down off the couch and follow me wherever I go but she does not as Duke will play tug of war with blankets or "beat up" her stuffed dolls and when my 3 yr old says chase me - Duke is on it… Mya is under something like she wants to never be found again. We have had Duke since he was about 3 months he stayed shy for all of about 5 min and then he was just non stop he will be one yr in july. Also Mya doesn't jump up on things like tbe couch or try to climb the stairs. I have noticed though that unlike Duke she will sit quietly for her grooming, put on hair bows and dresses without a complaint, and "run" to the sound of the treat bag opening or food bowl filling up. She eats well but I wet her kibble and mix it with a touch of wet food for softness. She doesn't seem to like crunchy stuff. So I guess my question is really just does she sound normal? The more quiet pace of her personality is a nice change i.just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. I have also noticed she sort of lays down and army creeps to you when u call her but she may just need to learn her new name and trust us more I guess but let me know if that's unusual. I will also say she never saw a leash before we got her i really think she was carried everywhere. So I am trying to leash train while reinforcing potty training out doors vs pee pads or diapers (her prev owners were a little on the don't know don't care side of things. I have been killing fleas since I got her and had to do shots because I wasn't sure she was current) )
