Congrats on your new baby!!!!
I have a few questions....having just one I have a set routine that works for us but you having so many how do you do the basic's?
Like potty time? Do you take them all out at the same time? If so, is it fenced? Their potty is at the same time, BUT I take them out 2 or 3 at a time. The 2 little ones don't go outside yet, because the weather has been so off here and I'm afraid they'll get sick. Yep, we have a big fenced in yard, and the LOVE it! :) ;)
Meal time....do you feed them all at the same time? I actually free feed them, it's just easier...lol
I think it is wonderful that you have so many but sometimes having just one is lots of work. (only because I make it that way) I schedule all time away from home to a minimum so he is not left alone. But you have so many ....do you feel comfortable leaving them all home alone? No, not really, but I have to sometimes...:( I do the same thing...I schedule it the BEST I possibly can so they're home alone the minimum amount of time. Do you keep them confined to a certain area when you are away? They all have crates. Sophie, Ryder, and Faith stay in a huge baby crate/pen that's open on top. Brooklyn and Hadley stay together in a big crate, Mikayla is by herself, and Maddie & my sister's dog Chloe stay together in a crate. Kayla occasionally starts little Yorkie fights if she's confined...and so for her safety and the safety of the other girls she stays in her own crate. Hadley and Brooke are best buddies, as are Maddie and Chloe...so they stay together. All the crates are pushed almost together so they can have the comfort of being with each other. They really don't mind the crates at all, and I feel it's the safest way to keep them when I'm not at home. Sometimes keeping up with my Buddy is hard. If he is not right beside me I always go check to make sure he is not into something. Is it hard keeping up with so many in your house? Buddy follows me every step I take....does all your furbabies do this? Yes!! lol...but I love it! I always have the pitter patter of little Yorkie feet behind me!! :D I have 4 that follow me constantly, 2 that follow me sometimes, and 2 that only do it if I have something they want...lol It's not hard to keep up with them. I always know where they all are honestly...I've never had that problem before...:)
Again, I think it is wonderful that you have so many!!! I am just being nosey as to how do it? lol I am sure you are VERY busy taking care of all of them!!! Let's just say, "I would love to be a fly on your wall"!!! lol Oh it's always TONS of fun here!!! :D ;) Sorry for all the questions....I am just curious about a day in the life at your house with all your furbabies!!!!!! |
