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!:D 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!!:eek: 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:thumbup:

He\'s afraid of the balls I got him because they have little bells in them. The only time he\'ll play is with me and with me hands like he\'ll chase them and stuff. I was wondering if this is normal? Are there any particular kind of toys that the grown up yorkies really seem to like? I thought maybe if I had more toys in his pen that he liked he\'d be happier there while I was gone.
Any ideas would be wonderful!
Thanks!
