Indy and Bentley and I are going outside every 45 min to1/2 hour just in case, and it seems to be working today so far. Bentley and I are both ready for a snooze.
We had a bit of a bad poopie start to our morning, in the house. I didn't even see him go as he doesn't stop to go like most dogs, so hard to no that he needs to even go. But turns out it's not Indy's fault, my husband and I got our wires crossed, so bad us for confusing the poor wee guy.
Bentley loves to go for long walks, so Indy will now join us for the longer walk. I was hesitant to take him too far after the vet told me about his legs/hips popping out and in. I think I'd better call the vet back and get him to explain the popping thing better to me. I was so freaked out hearing about it that I don' t think I asked enough questions to really understand it. It was the vets assistant that said she could feel or even hear them popping. Indy doesn't seem to have a hard time walking or jumping up or down or spinning because of it, or act like he's in pain.

I noticed no one commented on the circle walking or spinning or licking thing so I'm guessing they could be Yorkie traits?

I forgot to mention before that he weighed 5# (according to the shelter notes), he was very skinny when we first got him, you could feel nothing but ribs and fur, but he has added a few #'s already, weighed in at vets @ 7# in just 2 days of being with us. He got at Bent's food a few times as I wasn't watching.

Indy had no problem changing his diet from shelter kibble to the real food w supplements that we feed Bentley. From day one, after tasting Bent's real food he won't even eat the canned food, that we sometimes give them when there is nothing homemade, fast food night. His poops have been good. He doesn't even want to take a commercial soft cookie, only chicken or meat scraps or cheese. So that's a plus, and easier to clean up since we are having potty issues.

We also don't think that Indy is his real name as he doesn't respond to it. But my husband has figured out why the shelter named him Indy, it's all the circles and spinning like he's racing the Indianapolis race track.

The little angel is asleep on the footstool right now and Although he's not what we were expecting when we went searching for a new friend for Bent, we will accept him for who he is and patiently try to help him overcome some of his issues.
Will try to figure out how to post photo of Indy (and Bentley, is that aloud as he's not a Yorkie)

NO, spinning or licking IS NOT A YORKIE trait
