Hello Everyone. My name is Kenesha and Im a very newly Yorkie and dog parent. I just got my yorkie this past Saturday whom we decided on the name "Bella". She is 12 weeks old or 3 Months old and she is a busy body lol. I must be honest I have no experience with yorkies as the last dog we had was a shih tzu whom I helped raise from a pup to now(he's 13 now) named oreo. He is my mom's dog but I've always treated him like my own. Now I am on my own with my Bella who is just a sparkle in my eye. She is so young and tiny but she acts like she's 3 years old and been here before. I have always been told yorkies are high maintence dogs and stuck up, but that is so not true! Bella is the sweetest and socialable ever. She loves to plays and run even though she is so small. At first I was feeling very overwhelmed and starting thinking to myself "What did I just do" and I started crying. This didn't have anything to do with me not wanting her but rather me being scared and afraid. I know somethings are going to happen because that is just a part of nature but if I can prevent it i am going to make sure it doesn't. I don't want anything to happen to her and when I first saw her I immediately fell in love. I've always wanted a dog of my own and thought that maybe I didn't think this through. From the pooping and peeing to taking her outside every ten minutes to her coming back inside only to pee again on the floor, it got really exhausting. I even contemplated in giving her to my mom whom I called and asked her on what to do. I started to feel terrible because I know she is just a puppy and doesn't mean to do the things she does, she has to learn. I felt bad because I was thinking of giving her away when she already know us and was happy. Then I realized that I could never take her back or give her away to someone else. She is so sweet and innocent and only a baby so until she is trained accidents are going to happen. We are trying to train her to use the pads inside and going outside as well. The person before me only had her for two weeks before she sold her to me so she didn't get to train her on anything. When I went to pick her up, we asked if she was going to miss Bella and to my surprise she said no. She said she didn't have her long and it had become too much for her especially having 2 toddlers around. I feel like this was a blessing for Bella to come into my life and I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe and feel loved. I work full time but my fiance is home with her during the day, so I have been calling him non stop asking him what's she doing and how she's doing. He tells me everytime she's "good" and laughs because he knows Bella is our baby and i'm feeling overprotective. For the most part she is a good girl and mostly eats, plays and sleeps. I am falling more and more in love with her daily and can't wait to experience my life with her more. I am glad I have joined this forum and please please and if anybody has any tips or suggestions for me as a new yorkie parent, please do not hestitate to give them. Thank you
