Maybe after reading these posts the OP will understand what it is
to have a yorkie or any pet for that matter. They need to be socialized
and be what they are, a dog.
Good luck to you. Don't be sad about re-homing your dog be happy
because you will be doing him a favor. Another home can give him
what he requires. Attention, attention, attention.

I feel the same. I hope things either get better or you re-home him and I truly don't say this in a judgmental or harsh way. A stringent house (at least my home) isn't possible and there are compromises to having one of these angels...

Try picking your pup up out of the pen when you are home. Take him with you. I took my pup with me by either carrying him or when I was working about the house, I put him in his carry bag and he went with me everywhere.

Is the pup relieving himself outside at all? Teaching him to go outside will keep you from having to clean up so much.

In the evening, when you are relaxing, reading, or watching TV, keep him on your lap. He will find it soothing, I am sure.

Also, keep him in his crate next to your bed at night. Perhaps a towle or sheet over his crate will keep him feeling secure.

Hope this is helpful.

I have 7 happy dogs that are welcome to play with their toys and there are beds everywhere. If company is coming over it takes about 1 hour to clean up and put the dogs home ( master bathroom a big 8x10).

I would never put anything above their happiness. My little 10 month old Kayla got a turd stuck on her butt for the first time yesterday and freaked out ran to me to fix it, a butt bath did the trick... BUT a few times my older dogs cleaned their butts on the carpet! Oh well so we shampoo more than most... They are so worth it.....

That is hilarious. You sound like a fun yorkie mom.

This is not to say dog lover's house can't be clean and neat but never to the extent like you don't have a dog and that is why some people don't have a dog. I know you'd like to prove that is wrong but it is a fact. You may have proven it wrong but under what costs? Your dog's happiness and your disgust towards the dog? You stated that you like cats because they are less work and cleaner and there is no wrong to because every person have their own preferences but why torture the little dog further by having him but not wanting him to be around/exist and always having to be under your watch and knowing he can't go anywhere that you can't see him? If your dog is jittery, probably better to go to another home with another yorkie as a friend. I don't usually agree to rehoming but in your case it most probably is the best solution. Give yourself a break and your dog a break too.

Ok ADMIN I think this lady has taken enough abuse, might be time to close this and by no way am i a fan. although might be a good thread to let you feelings go !

Honey, please pick up that baby and cuddle him. He sounds so lonely and unwanted. I would seriously consider rehoming him. Dogs need to be loved on. They thrive on it. Cats are usually so standoffish that they would rather be alone. I'm not trying to be mean or rude but I think you would be happier also if he were someplace else. Good luck.

Thank you. I was going to say the same thing. I think people have come up with some wonderful suggestions and you can't blame a person for being upset for the Yorkie - especially given previous posts by the OP. In fact, I think people have gone out of their way to be gentle given the circumstances.

I havent seen any abusive posts either just people giving opinions

The original OP of the thread has not responded since it was opened. She was probably offended by some of the posts and she has chose to ignore them which is her right. She has opened another thread addressing house breaking issues. Lets just pray the dog and the OP get the help that they need.

[jrincon17]

well you know what i am the biggest of having this persons puppy re-homed. In here Original post , she had another puppy in which she felt no remorse when her puppy got ran over. I was ridiculed for saying it made me angy when she didnt say she felt responsible. I am just saying this person is long gone and you could kill this thread or just let peope vent
