When will this puppy settle down?

I was told to just enjoy their "puppiness" as it goes by all to quickly I love when Lucy goes nuts!

He's like, Look at me, look at me, I'm so cute you are just going to have to pet me, look, let me roll over for you, watch me I'll lay on my back so you can rub my tummy. I'll sit for you, lay for you, what do you want. I could go on and on. He runs around in the yard like crazy playing with my grandchildren. He's so cute I want to cuddle him and baby him, and he's too big for that now! He's Mr. Independent, unless he wants your attention. I can handle the over socialization, it's the energy he has. Can I look forward to him settling down a bit when he gets a little older? What about when he's neutered at about 5 or 6 months, will that settle him down any? If not, it's ok, cause he's so darn adorable.

i thi nk your yorkie is just happy to be alive.lol he will act more adult at about a year old. www.dyannasyorkies.com

Spike is just about 18 months now, and I'm noticing a slight change in him, especially when I'm home all day. Tomorrow, for example, he's going to the groomers in the morning, then I'll pick him up and take him for a walk. That means he'll be on the go from 8 a.m. until about 3 p.m., so I KNOW he'll be tired in the evening. This didn't happen when he was a pup, and I've only begun to notice the difference. Although it means he's getting older, I'm grateful for the change, because when he was a pup he was such a ball of energy, and such an attention seeker!

On days when I'm at work, he doesn't usually slow down much in the evening, although it does help if I take him for a run in the park as soon as I get home!

Banjo is just like that!! And he is not around a lot of people-so at first I worried about him being shy with others- but no way!! he just gets so excited when he does see some one else!!I think he needs a sister , but we can't do that now
he loves everyone and every aniamal he sees!!

My Pokey is a crazy lil rascal too! She will be 6 months next week. I actually have decided once my move into my new home is completely unpacked that I am buying a playmate for her. I think two will be good. I figure I will buy within the month. I work from home and right now Pokey only naps in my lap or cuddles when Im at my desk for about 10 minutes....if Im lucky! I am real busy working for the next two months and only break about ten minutes an hour to play with her and run her outside. Im feeling a bit guilty as I would love to play all day long!! So I figure with a second, they can entertain themselves when Im really into my work......plus, Im getting the addiction bug! Heck, by this time next year I probably have like six Yorkies!!

My boy is 15 1/2 months and my my girl is 10 months. I found MacTavish calmed slightly after neutering and definitely at one year. Madeline is just starting to calm. However, they still want to kiss everyone, run like the wind inside the house and out, wressle, chase each other, just about everthing described above. We call it our "Home Entertainment" and wouldn't change them for anything.
