| I am feeling very blessed at the moment coz my baby regularly sleep in with me. And is fine with it if I only get up at 10 am. I am a student and don't have a lot of early classes and a lot of late nights. And he loves it. He goes to parties, barbecues and long weekends (to the beach) with me and is always on excellent behaviour and the star attraction! I just adore my little party animal! And after all of this, he sleeps in with me!

| tricky Sascha Harking back to the poster who was having difficulty being with her Yorkie 24/7........I have two amusing tales. My little Sascha has adopted a silent sentry routine to engage my attentions. We'll be in the LR and I'm lying on the couch with a quilt over me, rather engrossed with a movie, never feeling Sascha has "loaded the trap" so to speak. Then I'll suddenly realize she has been sitting or standing in one position far longer than normal, just staring a hole through me from across the room.......sure enough she had surreptitiously planted one of her many small play balls right in my lap!! I think she has waited patiently for as long as 20 minutes. Each time I LOL and the ball game begins! Who could resist that well-behaved strategy to engage my attentions without barking at me or jumping on me. Secondly, I found a rather sturdy dog dish at Wal-Mart for her twice daily wet food servings. Lately she has discovered the joy of chewing on the sides of the dish, which held up well under her assault. Sometimes I'd catch her with her head high, bowl clenched in teeth, trotting off to have a chew for dessert! Last night she carried the empty bowl over to me and I rewarded her with praise for eating all her dinner, and then I took the bowl away. A couple hours later I went into the office to get on the computer and noticed right smack in the middle of her doggy bed, a pile of food, uneaten. She'd dumped it there so she could playwith the bowl as a chewy........so it is true, just when you think you've got it all locked down, OUT SHE COMES with something new to keep you stimulated and feeling a bit stupid! |

| Silly pups! In response to the walking question... I walk Sky for excersise reasons, or to tire her out. She is a city dog and therefor a pee pad user. This weekend we went and saw my bf and her dad. She is a diff dog around him. It was crazy. She was calm and cuddly! I mean when she is tired w me she is a love but when she is ready to play she is wild. Of course this makes me look like a big time whiner to my bf. He says, "She's fine, you're being a drama queen" If he only knew

| Puppies They are growing and full of energy. Maybe she needs to have something to chew on, and a space she has to stay to calm down a bit every night. She needs to have mommy and her time, brushing her or maybe reading so she calms down and "gets bored" so she will sleep better at night. Remember even at 5 months, her sugar can drop and they need to be fed even if you just give her some nutrical. |

| spelcheq' name Quote:
I talk to my husband every day and he's always telling me about Spelcheq's antics and that the twin grandsons love playing with him and what great company he is. It's been 9 months since the cancer diagnosis and I understand for Grade 4 lung cancer he is doing very well..........and to hear someone who showed no introspection throughout our marriage evolve into a deeply introspective person as he faces death has been deeply touching to witness. How many women ever get the chance to hear, after they are separated or divorced, that the spouse they left profoundly understands why they are not together anymore. His children have stepped up to bat and surrounded him with love and care and concern and he told me "I don't deserve this......I left them when they needed me and I haven't really stayed close." But, I told him, you are the only father they have ever had and they have always loved you and to be able to care for you now is not a burden to them, it is an honor, a way to bring the circle fully closed, it's something they are doing for themselves as well as for you and they are setting the example they pray their own children will follow when they are frail, elderly and ill. Sadly, their mother died last month. Luckily I have stayed close to my stepdaughter (the boys accepted me but in no way as a maternal figure) and I am praying I can be a part of their family forever. If not, I will lose 8 grandchildren and one great grandaughter and a stepdaughter who has always felt like my own........ I have no control over the path ahead and will flow with their decisions. So that is the long version of the story behind "Spelcheq's" name. And he is a gorgeous example of the Silky breed. | |

| red98vet Your Yorkies are so precious...........2 questions.........do you brush them out every day.........and how old were they when their colors stopped changing? My Sascha's ears and muzzle and the coat around her eyes seem to be changing to tan......I gave her a summer cut but now I can't wait for her skirt to grow longer........she's such a beautiful, affection and well-behaved sweetheart...........I am truly blessed! |

| When Sammy was a baby, I remember looking at him and saying "Oh my goodness, are you 1 yet?". He was so full of energy and would wake me up at 4 or 5 a.m. and for a non morning person, that was torture. It lasted a while, but when he got to be 6 or 7 months old he settled down. By the time he was 1, I was able to say "It's not time to get up yet" and he'd go back to sleep. Now, Sammy is 13 1/2 years old and I"d do anything for him to pounce on me with that puppy energy. It's not easy, but it'll be better before you know it. Good luck. Chris Quote:

| Glad I don't have those problems. Mine go to bed when I do, and wake up when I do, although I would like to sleep later then seven in the morning. Hope you get some sleep soon.
