Does your Yorkie Need Constant Attention~? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

LOL~! I can put on the TV on the dog channel, and he doesn't care. Or even the dog video "babysitter" I have and he doesn't care. He would rather follow me around to see what I am doing or to see if he can get some of my droppings of food I am cooking or eating than anything else. In the past, he has played by himself with a ball or an ice cube, and that is really funny to watch~! Oh, and he follows me to the bathroom to see what is going on and tries to jump up to my lap. I can't get the place cleaned up unless I gate him up in the hall or on the porch. Otherwise, he growls and follows the swifter mop or vaccum cleaner.

My little Zachary is very needy. But I love it. I know i really spoil him, but he is 7 months old and he won't go to sleep unless I am in his chair and hold him. I am always holding him. Zachary does have playmates too. But he really does demand my attention. I wanted a sweet lap dog and that is exactly what he is.

Finnigan is the same way every evening its the worst! Its why we're getting another yorkie. I think he really needs a playmate!

I dunno why its in the evenings, but after we eat supper and sit down to watch tv for the night ~8:30 he starts whining and just won't stop! We end up playing fetch for hours. We thought it was because we weren't able to walk him since its so cold, but we've had several warm-ups we walked him as much as posible... it didn't help.

Sometimes to tire him out we chase him around the house...lol... good exercise for the winter! We've tried spending time on teaching him new tricks, but its still not helped. I guess we'll just get really strong throwing arms from playing fetch for hours

charlie needs constant attention 24/7. The minute he realized my attention is on something else, he will try to jump on thing or run to get a shoe to get my attention. He is so bad and spoiled. My DH and monster-in-laws all think I spoiled him. He has to be in the bathroom when I am in there. He is good at sitting by my feet in the morning when I get ready. Otherwise during my bath at night, i put him in his crate. He used to follow me to the kitchen and would sit at my feet while I cook. Now he loves to explore and eat things. I tried so hard to keep things clean however when you live with people who are unclean it is hard. My baby is always constantly finding things to lick or eat. I am so worry. I love him so much. He is the best thing in my life.

That is putting it mildly! I can't turn around without one or both of them at my heels! I made the mistake of letting them be on my desk, well they know my routine, as soon as I head towards the office, they scramble and want up on the desk. I have a bed and a pillow for each of them. I am scrunched up at my keyboard while they have the majority of the desk! Too funny.

My little girl is the same exact way. Any time I make a move in the house she's right behind me. She's gotten into the habit of whining if I don't start petting her or playing with her. The little girl needs constant attention and I'm glad to give it.
