| Who is your yorkie more attached to? I was just wondering if your yorkies favor you or someone else in the family more? Stormy favors me over everyone else, she picks me over anybody and seems to only get excited when I come home. She could careless if my fiance came home or anyone else. She has been going through alot lately so I know she is probably a little more sensitive and wants only mommy but I need some help because I work 4-5 days aweek and I am gone from 8am til 4pm. She doesn't seem to want to play or interact with anyone while I'm away. I am just worried for her because I don't want her to be depressed while I'm away. As soon as I am home she is all over me. But I do have to say that she really does enjoy laying in her bed relaxing. Should I be worried? What can I do to encourage her to go to my fiance more. I also should add that she is a bit scared of men so that makes it a little more difficult, it is frustrating my fiance alittle because he would like her to come to him and he doesn't want to force her. |

| Have your fiance participate more in her care. Like feeding her, walking her, bathing her, etc.. She will come around. You've only had her for a few weeks, right?\ My Abby is most attached to me, but Daisy LOVES my son! He's 20 yrs old and she is just crazy about him. She does prefer for me to take her out to potty and when I lay down, she goes straight to bed with me. I think my son is "the fun guy", but she loves and needs her Mama

| yeah we've only had her a few weeks but it already feels like forever. I have had him bathe her and he does try to feed her treats and such but she doesn't really want to eat from him. I have to convince him that its okay for men to walk yorkies still though lol. Any suggestions for fun toys? She doesn't seem to play at all, I try to play with her a bit but she doesn't seem very interested in playing too much, shes 1.5 years old so I know she has to still have a little puppy in there!! |

| All four of my monsters favor me over Daddy but when he has the ball Adie thinks he is king! I have to laugh though because she keeps bringing the ball to me trying to ge to play with her instead. Skeeter is such a cuddle bug he loves his Mommy best. Of course we have stairs leading to the couch and he can get to me whenever he wants to. He isn't a jumper like Adie and can't get in Daddy's lap cause Daddy is in the big old recliner. Adie likes to sleep on the footrest when Daddy is reclined. Everyone wants to pile on me for sleep. And if they are hurt or scared they would run past Daddy and go another mile if it meant getting to me. |

| I am the primary care giver, i.e., food, walks, & play. Gus is totally my dog. Strangely, Squirt is mine during the day, and my teenage niece's Yorkie at night. He will actually growl and snap at me, if I approach him, in the evening, during the night, & first thing in the morning. If he needs a walk, at these latter times, my niece has to leash him up.

| Mia LOVES her daddy!!!!! Don't get me wrong, she loves me just as much, and gets excited when I get home just as much... but is ALWAYS cuddling up to him, always on his lap. Of course, I'm the one that brushes her, gives her baths...etc. If he's not home, she's right on my lap. Honestly.. the one person she gets the most excited to see is her grampa (BF's dad). Its hilarious!!

| Izze is affectionate towards my mom and myself---but she prefers my mom. According to her, my mom hung the moon. She follows her everywhere. But when my mom is not home, she follows me around and gets along just fine. I would probably have your bf spend more quality time with your baby... go for walks, play, feed...etc. |
