Poor scared boy

Posted 08-09-2008 at 03:30 AM by alaskayorkie

Eddie has been behaving strangely lately. Real clingy. Instead of sneaking off to a back room to take a nap like he usually does, he'll lie at my feet or hop up on my lap. He always snuggles with his mama, but even she's noticed that he's been more affectionate.

Of course, I always panic. I figured he was getting sick. I'd been putting off an appointment to get his runny eyes checked, so I did that right away. He's got some ointment to put in them, and they seem to be getting better....

Playtime supervisor

Posted 08-06-2008 at 12:43 PM by alaskayorkie

Sometimes I wonder if the individual attention I give my boys is too much. I'm not going to change anything, but I just wonder.

I've noticed they don't play amongst themselves without my direction. Oh, Jack and Rusty will lie together, but they don't play. And Eddie rarely tries to play with Rusty or Jack. It's beneath his alphaness. As for Rusty or Jack trying to initiate a game with Eddie, they wouldn't dare. He's got attitude.

But they play well together with supervision....

I hate fireworks

I love all my dogs with all my heart, but Eddie, my first Yorkie, is special. He's the smartest dog I've ever owned, and we're so close we can practically read each other's minds.

I would do anything for Eddie.

But I can't take away his fear of fireworks. He's always been terrified of them, but it became a huge problem when he was about 1 and escaped from the dogsitter on the Fourth of July. He roamed the neighborhood (or hid) while fireworks were being shot off constantly....

Rusty, the Houdini of the dog world

My last Lab, Alex, was famous for several eating feats. On one occasion, left alone in the car for the length of time it took me to run into a doughnut shop and purchase a cup of coffee, he wolfed down 13 1/2 of the 15 doughnuts I had just purchased.

On another occasion, in about the same amount of time, he opened a sealed pound of cheese and wolfed down the entire thing. Again, he was alone in the car.

Today Rusty, my new Lab, broke Alex's gluttony record.

Jack and Rusty have come out of the closet

Posted 07-05-2008 at 02:38 AM by alaskayorkie

I always thought it was cute that Jack, my 4-pound Yorkie, and Rusty, my 50-pound Lab, got along. They sleep next to each other. Rusty sticks up for Jack. ...

But this week, I discovered why. They are gay. When I rolled Rusty on his back to put some ear drops in his ears, Jack took advantage and mounted him!

And Rusty didn't protest.

I have no problem with their decision. I was just surprised. I wonder if neutering is considered "safe sex?"
