| Do any of you have a problem... with your Yorkie hording everything they can get their mouth around? Whenever we're gone, Allie gets shoes, ink pens, paper towels, etc., and gets them all in one corner of the couch or bed and I guess lays there in them. She also likes to shred Charmin. |

| I put her in a crate when we leave, as I don't trust her yet to not kill herself! She does however, eat anything she can find on the floor or the yard, etc. She runs from me when I try to get it away, and it really worries me, as I am afraid some day she will get something toxic and that would be it. She use to come to me when I told her come, but now it has become a game for her. Little Brat! Pat |

| Zoeybear had an ink pen on two different occasions. I couldn't figure out if my daughter left them on the floor or coffee table or what. Finally, I came home and found Zoeybear standing on my desk. She uses the office chair for a boost! Don't even get me started on shredding toilet paper!!! Sheeesh!

| Gracie doesn't horde, but everything she comes across goes into her mouth. And she has also discovered the "run is fun" game. She knows if I get to her, whatever she has is going to be taken away. It doesn't matter that I give her one of her toys to chew on in it's place. I know she will out grow this, I just don't know if I will live long enough to see that time. She has started sassing back when scolded now too. Talk about a brat! And it is sooo hard to not laugh at her when she does it. She is just too cute for her own good.

| At least we're not the only ones. Allie and her co-terrorist, Krissy (one of my wife's maltese), pretty much try to destroy every squeaky toy that comes in the house. Tear off limbs, mutilate the squeakers to the point that they don't resemble squeakers. Dig in the garbage, when it's left unattended. Just general mayhem when we aren't at home... sometimes when we are. |

| This is very common, I guess just typical yorkie behavior!! I can't tell you how many times per day I scream "ABBBEY!!!!! What is in your mouth!!?!?" And she NEVER wants to give it up, I have to pry her jaw open and fish it out. Ay... Just last night I found her running around with a marker in her mouth.

| But the question is do any of your babies actually chew and eat the toys? I mean he eats the ears off of the animals and swallows them, so now I immediately cut off the ears. |

| Baxter will come look for me if he has something and I don't "give chase"- just not as much fun without me running behind him screaming! He picks up everything. I think he would hoard it if I let him. He is always so proud when he gets something he hasn't had before. His head goes way up. |

| Bobby eats everything, Toys, anything in the yard, plastic, paper...anything you can imagine. I had to bribe him with treats to get whatever he has away form him. now he knows the game, so this happens about 20 times a day to where I had to stop giving treats! So we are back to chasing and trying to pry open his mouth to remove whatever is in there. |
