| I am able to report another clean night. Not even a pee on the pad. We let them out this morning into the "Yorkie Restroom" and they went within a few minutes then asked to come out. We have tried them on tiny bits of carrot but they have a chew at it them spit it out so we are off to the pet shop to see what is there for them. Raggs also has to go have his identity chip put in on Tuesday so we can talk to Mr Vet about treats. DSC_1706.JPG

Also, having two pups may be of great help. If you can get one doing something you want, either with training or foods, the other will see that and follow suit (usually), so you can use that to your benefit (less work on your part!). They may be a bit young for carrots, as they need their teeth to really chew them up. You may want to cook some up to soften them a bit.... may help to make them more palatable till they get their adult teeth in. My little female loves canned cling peaches (I only give a few tiny bits at a time due to the sugar in the syrup used for packaging). My other three look at me like 'Mommie, I am not eating that slimy mess.' Then little Sapphire's eyes get big bc she's thinking 'Great, more for me!' Not to forget: NO NO NO raisins, grapes, or onions. Toxic stuff for dogs.

| As you are still quite 'new' here, I am posting a link to the list of dangerous foods: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/die...oods-dogs.html And here is a link to the entire YT Library: YorkieTalk Yorkshire Terrier Library - YorkieTalk.com Forums - Yorkshire Terrier Community I realize this is an overwhelming amount of information, so may I suggest, along with the links I've already posted, to read up on vaccines before your babies go back to the vet for theirs. Many people, especially those who have owned dogs before a Yorkie came into their lives, myself included, feel vaccines are a no-brainer or just listen to their vet. But there have been many changes in the 'Vaccine world' and many vets use different protocols for vaccinations, and I would strongly advise everyone to learn as much as possible about vaccinations, whether new or old dog owners, puppy or adult dog owners, and to keep learning and to watch for new information on this topic as it becomes publicly available. I don't know what vaccines are common for our friends who live outside of the U.S. so I won't get specific here, but generally Yorkies do better when they receive one vaccine at a time, and when multiple vaccines are required, that they are given separately, 4 weeks apart. Personally, I am following Dr Dodds recommendations and use a minimal vaccine schedule for mine. I stay away from "new" vaccines that pop up on the market, as I feel these are unproven and I want to see their use documented over years before I make a final decision whether or not they will benefit my dogs. Also one must take into consideration vaccines that are for specific diseases that may be occuring in the geographical area in which one lives, and whether or not one's pet is at risk considering each individual's lifestyle. Here's another link that may help: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/die...ntibodies.html And if you have any questions, we are here, but hopefully you will also discuss any issues with your vet, as some vets are more adept at treating Yorkies than others.
