After some time he was sent to anothe facility which is where we found him.

His name? Popeye of course.

Popeye is about two years old and weighs about 7 pounds now. Was 6 when we adopted him. The vet said 7 should just be about it. Complete set of shots and he has been chipped.

Popeye appears to be normal in all other respects.

So all, so far, is good. Well kinda... Popeye is not housebroken, but he is working on it.

He does strange things. For example, the expansion cracks in driveways and cracks in general seem to fascinate him. Nose down as far as he can get it and follows them like crazy. Is this normal?

Also loves to explore dark areas under bushes and shrubs.

He was sleeping and hanging out in his carrier for the first couople of weeks, but hadrly ever goes in it now. Appears to prefer under the recliner or overstuffed chair. Again I assume this is normal for a Yorkie.

Bedtime is with us. Loves to play as late as midnight.

Up at 7 AM or so for his first potty break.
