life before me was with a breeder who has like 15 yorkies , so when i went there only the moms and pups were in their cages, everyone else was loose in a gated area.
he was running around with the rest of them ,like 10 yorkies, playing, running, jumping.
the breeder told me she had too many males, and he was so loveable, running over to me and jumping in my lap.
he has never been in a car, so the car ride home was a bit crazy, he was very nervous.
also he has never been walked on a leash, so this is scary for him.
so he has never taken a walk,i try to take him out noweveryday for a little walk, but he is absolutly terrified and cant wait to get home.
he likes the couch and wont leave it unless he is hungry or thirsty.
he sleeps alot, which i thought older dogs did.
he sleeps through the night and then right back to sleeping after he wakes up and eats.
i am having his urine tested today, i do not like the looks of it. too orange.
i took him to the vet the same day i got him, but he never told me to bring in a stool sample or urine from him.
