My Dolce is almost 10 months old. My husband and my daughter think she's evil. I think she's just very smart. When we brought her home, she took to the house right away. There was no testing the waters. She took over immediately (all the toys, the food bowl, etc.) Prada, my three year old has an entirely different personality so there is constitent fighting. Dolce takes toys away from Prada, she bites her on the head for no reason, etc. Prada only tolerates it for so long. But Dolce can still put her in a corner. She's definately much better than she was when she was younger, but obviously still has alot of puppy nutso in her. I know exactly what you mean when you say your baby is driving you crazy.
Anyway, once Dolce got big enough to sleep in the bed(she was the runt and is only 4lbs now) we let her. There was no more getting up 3 and 4 times a night. They sleep just as long as we do. Both of my dogs are pad trained so if they do have to go in the night they just get up and go and climb back into bed. To tell you the truth, I can't sleep unless they are in the bed with us.
I guess what I am saying is please don't give up on your baby. Be patient and work with her, she'll get better. After all, when you got her you assumed the responsibility for her life. I think you would really regret it if you got rid of her. You would miss out on so much. There's nothing like Yorkie's kisses. Good Luck.
