My Yorkie Cameron
was a gift to my moms friend , he is a pure breed,But one day my moms friend got angry at him and injured his hind leg , now he walks with a limp but not really a bad limp , its just whenever he sits , he sits on his leg. so if you Yorkie is somewhat like that here is what cha' do.

steps
1. For the first step find a table , then clear off the table, then place soft dog towels on the table. {its better if you have used that towel on the dog before so it is comfortable and wont move around .
2. [if you are in the kitchen and using the sink hose then you might want to use this so you dont make a mess.] Anyway , you take a bucket or a big container and fill it with water. While it is being filled with water you might want to go and get the items, like shampoo, comb,brush, scissors and if your dog is like my dog and has something that calms him down{like a toy} then you should use that too.If you have already done that then start rubbing your dog{i do that because sense he cant swim he has a fear of water}.
3.Now do not place the dog in the bucket sense he is injured.Instead you use your hands and place water on him , and after he is wet {thoroughly} rub the shampoo through you hands and rub it through out his body , but try hard not to get it in the dogs eyes.
4.Then rinse the dog well, { be careful around his face}
5. Then you can either get ear swabs or cotton ball{i recommend ear swabs} And baby wipes.
6. Gently use the ear swabs in the dogs ears, then use the baby wipes to clean the eye tears and the outside of you dog rear {USE GLOVES!!}
Then you dry em' off and ur done! please feel free to ask me any question you feel like asking and i ll get back to you asap.
