 My yorkie
I've had dogs all my life with no problems potty training. She is my only yorkie. I've discussed this with my vet since she's young and my vet told me that small dogs are harder to train and yorkies are the toughest. My cavalier is small,although bigger than her and he's trained. Idk her quality of life, really. Does she mind not having the run of the house? I can't keep a dog bed in the kitchen because she's gone through them so she sleeps on rubber kitchen mats because I can wipe them down and clean them. She does enjoy going into the yard and sitting in the sun. She sleeps a lot and barks/yells forcefully when she wants something so she's aware. For example,if I'm not right at the door when she's ready to come in,she yells so loud you can hear her a few houses down,lol.
She has trouble walking but doesn't seem to be in pain. I've taken good care of her all these years but I'm tired of this as it's gotten worse. And rescue is not a good idea. Who in the world wants this old dog with so many issues? I would never place her where she could be abused or hurt. I may yell at her at times, but she's safe here and has no fear or hurt. |
