What clues tip your Yorkie off to an unpleasant task? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

alaskayorkie · 12-02-2008, 02:42 AM

I snapped the top off some new doggy toothpaste tonight, a flavor that Eddie doesn't like, and I could hear his feet sprinting down the hall even before the gel hit the brush. He hid under the bed.

This morning I reached for the booties, and Jack raced for his doggie bed and curled up as tightly and securely as he could, refusing to budge. He hates wearing booties, and he doesn't particularly like walks when the temperature is in the single digits.

Am I the only one with Yorkies who run for their lives when they are tipped off about an unpleasant task coming their way? And if not, what tips them off?

When Chachi hears me run the water in the sink then go get Jewels he runs and hides because he knows hes next for a bath

We were trying to figure that out. It's almost like they can read your mind! I wish I could get them to pick out my lotto numbers!

LOL. I know what you mean. Sometimes, all I have to do is think about it!

When Walker hears the drawer in the hall close he runs for his life because he knows I went for the baby wipes to make a valiant effort to wipe off his face. He HATES it and will do his darndest to avoid being seen at that moment. He makes it as difficult as humanly possible to get him clean.

Most of the time he wins and gets to be dirty for a little longer.

Tila takes off when she see's me with her brush or when she see's me grabbing a bow or anything for her hair. She's runs away when she hears or see's me going for a wipe. She also run's away from me to hide when she see's me with a tape measure. lol. I was measuring her for a dress the other night. And she run's away when she see's me with a article of her clothing. So apparently she thinks every thing is unpleasant. I don't know why. I think she just likes to give me a hard time.

RoxyJosMom · 12-02-2008, 04:29 AM

With Roxy, all she has to do is see me with a towel, her pj's(she thinks she's being punished when she has to wear them) or any little tube of anything(even tho I quit using flea meds on her because of her bad reactions to them). She does the fastest disappearing act I've ever seen. She's there, then POOF, she's not

. With Remi - he's so laid back he doesn't care. As long as somebody is going to hold him, he's happy

. He's my little "whatever" guy.

Getting totally naked by removing collars...means bath time is coming.

Reasons to run around like crazy and then try to hide: Momma gathering up towels, Momma moving the grooming table into the bathroom, Momma snapping open the lid on the PetzLife or tube of toothpaste.

Reasons to run around like crazy and jump all over Momma: Momma opening a package or box of absolutely anything, Momma even glancing at the leash rack, Momma peeking out the front window and then walking towards the door.

Daisy does the same thing! Also, everytime I walk by the rack where I hang the leashes, she puts her nose on the leash and looks up at me to say, Can we go, Can we go, huh? Huh?

I hope ya'll keep this thread going today - it will be fun to read!

Mine run and hide as soon as I walk out of the sewing room! God forbid I have something in my hands to try on them. When I get a towel Cody starts to shake. When I get the brush out, they all snuggle down into there bed or blankets and I guess they think "if I can't see her, she can't see me".

YorkichonBella · 12-02-2008, 05:50 AM

Funny!

& soooo True! Glad you started this topic!

I try to sneak her shampoo from the cabinet.......then I try to again "sneak"

her special towel. Out of the corner of my eye..........she's watching intensely

.......before I even turn around to head to the bathroom, she's in her favorite "hiding place (under the sofa)"!!

Now that's the only thing she's just not tooooo smart about?

If she steals socks or anything she's not suppose to have........& you hear 4 little paws running for the hideaway, you can always find her there!!

Elisandra · 12-02-2008, 05:54 AM

When i wake up in the morning as soon as he hears me sitting up he wakes up stretches and when i walk to the bathroom he's right there next to me.

When i go to take a shower and put one foot in the tub he does a little bark as i am putting the second foot in.

Once he sees me putting his yogurt in this little cup he has this little tent i got at target 2yrs ago he goes inside it and waits for me there.

Once he sees me getting dressed once i have my pants on he goes to the living room and lays down right in front of the door untill i come out to the living room to get my coat. He's so funny it's like he knows im leaving and says i will wait right here for her!

Our babies are smart little one's

lacymomma · 12-02-2008, 07:19 AM

Mine usually just freezes and gives me that "please no" look when it's time for a bath or brushing or putting on the sweater... but she usually runs for the hills when I bring out the nail clippers. Unless I have a chew bone.. then she's more interested with it than the clippers

ARCHIE · 12-02-2008, 07:36 AM

When I reach for the BLUE towel Bud is gone! I thought dogs do not see
color. How does he know it's blue and his and bath time is here?

Also when I reach for his sweater he sprints down the hall and goes under
the bed. This happens 4x daily and it's only Dec 2nd!
