[maxdog]

Max and Sasha run around, wrestle and play all the time. They both will balance themselves on my hip while I take a nap. They maneuver precariously around my laptop to get at me when I am in the recliner. They jump on the back of the couch and walk it like the Flying Wallendas. But when it comes to catching a treat they are the biggest klutzes in the world. I will throw a cheerio at them and they won't even try to catch it. It will hit Max square between the eyes and he never even flinches. My favorite time was when I tossed a cheerio to Sasha and it landed on top of her head. She turned around for 5 seconds looking for it before it finally fell off! Max loves to chase his ball but he never tries to catch it in the air (it is a small ball). He just waits until it stops bouncing and then pounces on it.

All my other dogs would snatch treats out of midair. With my last dog I could balance a treat on his nose and he would stay motionless until I gave the command and then he would flip it and catch it before it hit the ground. He was a bigger dog.

Is this normal for yorkies?
