When I decided to get Sissy it was so Chloe would be happier when she was home alone. She hated it when I left without her. She still would rather leave with me everytime I go out but she is not miserable when I don't. Maybe it is a Yorkie thing to be sad when Mommys are gone. At any rate I wanted to ask you if I understood correctly. You said he was 2? 2 years old? when you got him? If this is so, maybe no one ever played with him before you got him so he may not know how. Chloe is afraid to walk behind a couch or under a table. Something happened before my house, she won't tell me what but I was not the only one that realized this. Sissy will take her stuff and run like heck behind the couch then peek out at Chloe like she is saying, I know you can't it back now, na na na na na na....... Once Sissy joined us, they liked all the toys, but only when the other sister had one!  Just about a month ago, they learned how to play tug of war. They like to do this best with one of my socks tho..... So much for my investment in the canine toy companies!!  Keep playing with different things with him and he will catch on. I also liked the sock on your hand idea someone mentioned - Great idea  |
Thanks for the advice. I've thought about getting another little one as a companion for Jaden. I just hate to see him so upset when I'm gone and as much as I'm with him I can't be with him 24 hours a day.
I got him when he was 2, he was actually a showdog and didn't like to show, he got really nervouse in fron of the crowds and didn't want to do anything so she sold him. He's a total sweetheart and does play more now. I've found he loves socks, beanie babies, most of my clothes that are on the floor (LOL) He was running around with a pair of my underwear yesterday
and did not want to give them back!
Anyway, I think he'd be happier with another yorkie, just someone to keep him company. His newest thing is when I'm gone he makes a mess in his pen. Tears up everything that is in there and pee's in his bed!
Something he never ever does when I'm home. So, I know he's unhappy and that makes me unhappy but it seems like no matter what kinds of toys I get he's just not happy without me
Poor guy I really feel for him!
