We need to remind Gus he's a dog! As some of you may know that we have been tryin to get a playdate going on for months now, we finally made it happen! It was only Dee (Scarapindee- a very lovely woman I might add) and I. It was so nice to finally meet. Her Abbi and Itzi are the cutest little Biewers! My daughter just fell in love with Itzi.
I feel so bad because my Gus is not mr. social. It's all my fault! I am way to protective and he's never really around other dogs. Mainly because we don't have any little dogs for him to play with. There are some really nice bigger dogs on the block, but I just am so fearful of them hurting him. After being attacked, I see a big dog out and I panic and swoop him up. I know I shouldn't do that but I almost lost him and I am only trying to protect him. But now I've gotten him so fearful all dogs big and small. He will try and sniff them out but on his terms only. If they go up to him he will growl. I just wish he would come out of his shell. But I could use help! I'm hoping to try and get together at least once a month. I'm hoping being around other yorkies will do the trick! It's really about time to get him a playmate (female yorkie) but it's just not on the budget right now. I know I will get my little girl someday but I'm just hoping to break out of his shell before then.
Also if there is any dog events, meetup, playdates please let me know. I will get Gus to know he's a dog no matter what it takes!
Here are a few pictures of all 3 of them. (The very few times Gus let them near him that is) The one I really like is of all three in a line smelling eachothers butts. It looked as if he was going to give it an effort but just wasn't ready. Like I said,,, we'll fix that!
1, butt sniffing
2, Gus thinking of playing with the ball till Itzi came too close
3, Gus and Itzi, was able to catch the shot before Gus ran from him
