| Yorkies and babies I'm asking for advice those who have Yorkies and had a baby later on.. I think there are going to be jealousy issues, but what else can I expect and what should I start slowly working on now, before we come back home with a new baby? (in about 6 months). Pepper is 2.5 years, but he thinks he's my baby LOL, how can I try to avoid a depressed dog when a new family member shows up? I know it'll be some work involved, not only with Pepper, but also with the baby (so the baby will treat the pup gently), any advice will be greatly appreciated?

| Hi! I'm new here and I am going through this right now!! Gypsy Rose is our 3 yr old baby!! She doesn't know she's NOT a baby! We've had Jezebel for 10 days now and Gypsy has done so great, so much better than expected. She was jealous of our 1 yr old grandson! That made us really concerned about this transition. So much so, that we almost didn't get Jezebel. But we did...lol Here's what we did... we gave Gypsy lots of attention .. and treats.... the first few days. We would feed her first, let her outside first, offer her a toy first, ect. That way she didn't feel passed over or replaced. We would praise her for being nice to the puppy .... and treats. We also would interfere if play got heated, making ME "the leader of the pack", and telling her to be gentle. I also kept certain routines, such as our special time we always spend together, one on one. It makes a difference to her! Hope this helps!!

| We will also eventually go through the same process. We are young couple who got the dogs first We have/are teaching them not to get into people's faces, so that when a baby comes they don't try to be all in their face. Also we have two yorkies, so we try to give each one individual attention so that the other one gets used to someone else getting attention. While they aren't babies, we do try to keep them around kids whenever we can. I'm interested to see what everyone else will have to say
