Do you let your Yorkie eat off your silverware, the exact one you happen to be using?

I will let you all answer before I convict myself.

Junebug · 07-10-2005, 10:02 PM

All right. I'm guilty of it. And I always get the eye rollings from my boyfriend when I do it.

Someone here please admit to it so I don't feel so bad!

SoCalyorkiLvr · 07-10-2005, 10:13 PM

I admit it!!!

Latuya · 07-10-2005, 10:17 PM

I do admit,,,,,, I do it too. But you think that's bad??? My daughters share their water with Gus as well. They take turns drinking out of the same cup.

Once in a while, we'll give Yoda something using a fork we use. But he's so gentle with it, he like never touches the fork or silverware.

Yoda has his own plates for food and water, and he's quite content with it. They are big plates too, like 8 inches diameter each I think.

And hey, if you share spit with your Yorkie (ahem, we won't name any names here), nothing wrong with sharing spittle!

Ha! That sounds too cute. And I will admit I'm guilty of that, too! Esp. on a hot day and there's only one water bottle.

Everyone thinks I am psycho old lady with her little dog in my family
so I have to say of course we share silverware. Really what's the
dif? When he kisses me he almost frenches sometimes so I am thinking
there is a lot less exchange on the fork rather then the surprise tongue
in the mouth...

One day I'll show some pictures, not tonight though! We just want him to feel like a king, and heck, we eat our of big plates, why not our little prince.

On a side note, he tosses his food a bit (tossing kibble around to get to the chicken), and a bigger plate SORT of alleviates that problem...

jesscruz · 07-10-2005, 11:04 PM

i don't personally, but my hubby does they lick the same ice cream and everything but i think it's cute

letty00 · 07-10-2005, 11:13 PM

I do that all the time!!

Marie · 07-11-2005, 12:21 AM

Yup, we all do it here, all of it. So dont feel bad. And see what I said WE all do it, Hubby, kids and me.

Lady of Yorkies · 07-11-2005, 12:49 AM

A little over a year ago when I got my first Yorkie, I said I would never, never, NEVER, kiss the dog on his mouth or let the dog kiss my mouth. What can I say? Things change. They are as much my children as my children are. I know what they lick and if they are doing that just before they want to kiss, then I refuse, give it time for me to forget or if I don't see it, well that's a different story. LOL I have shared an ice cream with them, and they take the food off my fork very daintily. But let me tell you! That looooong tongue goes into my mouth or up my nose and they wonder what happened. I will kiss and kiss and kiss but when those tongues go where I don't want them I yank those babies away from my face and say NO! Actually that's not working too well, guess I'm going to have to startle them. At meal time we have a very bad habit of letting the dogs lick the dishes after we eat. Some of it's not all bad tho, the kids use paper plates and those get thrown away. HA! Sylvia
