Am I spoiling? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Cheska's Bella · 03-08-2006, 10:09 AM

My Bella is 12 wks (I got her on Sunday) and although she's been sleeping well at night and not crying/whining at all (her crate is half bed, half litter box) she won't sleep during the day unless she's in my lap! If I put her in the crate or in the kitchen (gated) she whimpers and whines and if I leave the room she howls and barks. Loud... VERY loud!!!

Her crate at night is level w/my bed (on the nightstand) so she's almost "in bed" with us. I'm wondering if I should try putting on the floor just to get her used to not being so close while sleeping? I'm really behind on housework because I hate to hear her whine and whimper so I sit in front of the TV or computer w/her on my lap. My honey sure is going to be ticked when he comes home AGAIN from work to a messy place!

Oh they need to be spoiled!! Maybe you could try one of those front carriers and carry her around while you do stuff.

If mummy doesn't spoil who will

Let her be spoiled believe me in a couple of weeks she will be sleeping in your bed!

I never had George in a crate (well for about 30 minutes the night I brought him home) so I don't think I am good to answer the spoiled question, but I do have a little insight

George was 10 weeks when he came home with me, and for about the first 2 months he was next to me every second, I work from home so I could spend a lot of time with him. Now he is 10 months and he is little Mr. Independent I have to call him at times to come to me because he wanders around the house or goes and lays down on his big sisters bed when he is tired. I think it's all apart of the bonding process you are her new Mommy now, she will get used to it and go off on her own soon.

When Jewels was little she liked to be held too so I got a sling carrier and put her in it while I did my housework

I use a sling carrier with my puppy. It has a harness and strap inside and then a belt that buckles over him. I bought it at www.trixieandpeanut.com. I carry him in it while I do laundry and vacuum. He loves it and usually falls asleep.

I think you're just being a good yorkie mommy! Eventually, we all give in and spoil them, we can't resist!!

Spoiling them is half the fun

Cheska's Bella · 03-08-2006, 06:44 PM

Thanks guys! It's so nice to have others input/feedback/experiences! This is such a great forum. I feel so much better! I'll have to invest in one of those slings...

Jacsmama · 03-08-2006, 08:20 PM

If you look up the work "yorkie" in the dictionary - the definition is "spoiled"

I don't think I know of a yorkie who is not spoiled...how can we resist?

adunn · 03-09-2006, 05:04 AM

Hi, I am in the market for a carrier, is yours the one that looks like a sack with a drawstring top? If so, how old is your puppy? Thanks for the info!

adunn · 03-09-2006, 05:26 AM
