Does your yorkie get jealous!? I was reading a post regarding jealousy and had to ask... Anyone else have jealousy stories about their yorkie/s?? Chloe seems to think she is the only one in our household who can have kisses. When my husband and I kiss she trys to jump in between and lick us both frantically. Sometimes we joke and kiss loudly and she will jump up so fast to run over and stop us! :) Shes so jealous! |
Squirt is 13 years old, & I never bought him any clothes. Got Gus, joined YT, leaned about Yorkie clothes, & bought Gus a rain coat. It was too small, but fit Squirt perfectly. Gus tries to pull the coat off of Squirt, so neither can wear it. I think Gus is jealous. |
If one of mine decides to come and give me kisses the others come running and push the other one away and start kissing me. |
Oh goodness! Molly is incredibly jealous. If we are giving our attention to anything but her sometimes she will just jump and try to lick and she will butt her head in to try to be the center of attention, ESPECIALLY if we are giving Max attention! |

If my toddler comes up and sits in my lap, Macy has to get right in the middle :rolleyes: She manages to squish herself up in my lap, but then usually gets pushed off when my toddler wiggles. She also HAS to have whatever toy my kiddo is playing with ;) They go back and forth with toys all day, its quite entertaining! |
Mitzy gets extremly jealous of either our weim or the cat. If I'm petting the cat she will get between us and push him away with her head LOL its so funny but sad for my kitty :( |
My yorkie girl gets jealous but not for my sake. On the occassion I let the cat on my lap, she'd be hopping up and down or staring intently at us when normally, I'd have to beg for her attention even. Just yesterday, I picked up the cat in my arms in preparation of giving her a long overdue nail trim, I got barked at! :eek: I'm like, "Excuse me???" and she belted out another one! Of course, that's when she got sent to time-out on her pillow but couldn't help herself from peeking around the corner to look at what mommy and her favourite chew toy is doing. I'm not so naive to think that she is being possessive of mommy, hence, the vocals, she was actually telling mommy that the cat is HERS. LOL. Anyway, cute as that is, I discourage that kind of behavior. :rolleyes: My girl gets jealous if the cat's giving mommy attention and not her. :( One of the first words she's learned since coming home with me is our cat's name. She used to fly out of mid slumber to look for the cat once you speak the cat's name. |
Penny gets VERY upset whenever I pick up one of my cats. She will start barking and circling me until I put the cat down-- scares the poor kitties to pieces, and a couple times I've wound up scratched because of it. I've taken to cuddling the cats when Penny is asleep just for my own welfare. |
Mini Buttercup My baby Buttercup is extremely jealous of the Bichon mix puppy that I bought my mom and then had to keep. She growls at her and when we let them all loose all 3 pounds of buttercup slams 5lb snow white into the wall and puts her down in a submissive position. I feel so bad for snow white.:confused: |
Pao is extremely jealous when other dogs claim me as their Mommy. When I dogsit, he is fine with other doggies until they try to put their paw on me and claim me as their Mommy and Pao will use his body to get between me and the dog :rolleyes: as if to say she is MY Mommy. |
When Holly is getting lovies, Gracie sits there and looks at us like "where's mine"? She then jumps up on me and takes her designated spot, pushing Holly out of the way. When Gracie gets her lovies, Holly gets up on my shoulder and barks at Gracie. I have to tell Holly "OFF" to get her to leave Gracie and I alone. The short answer is they both get jealous. I have not had a gentleman friend since I got them so I don't know how they would react to kissing. :rolleyes: |
Samson is jealous of Harley, we got Harley at the end of Jan and Samson will sometimes nip at him if he thinks Harley is getting too much attention |
It's usually Max and my husband on the couch or me and Max...well now, when I lay on the couch with my husband, Max runs over there and gets right in between us and licks my husband's face like crazy with his butt in my face...:rolleyes: Then, he looks at me, like what are you doing? Like I'm in his spot! He cracks me up. |
Lola should be renamed "INSANELY JEALOUS" We have another dog, Brodie (golden/collie mix). Lola is so used to getting all the attention when we go out (poor Brodie), but when he gets attention, Lola goes NUTS! She will scratch at your legs until you give in. It's really cute though. We laugh about it. My mom cut out an article in our newspaper about treating dogs fairly. If you give one a treat, you have to give the other a treat too :) We always do of course, but I thought this article was really cute, where they actually studied it. They found that dogs are like humans, and get sad/jealous when one gets something that the other does not. After reading that article, I'm much more aware of it now. Here's the article: .<p> No fair!</p> <p> What parent hasn't heard that from a child who thinks another youngster got more of something? Well, it turns out dogs can react the same way.</p> <p> Ask them to do a trick, and they'll give it a try. For a reward, they'll happily keep at it.</p> <p> But if one dog gets no reward, and then sees another get a sausage treat for doing the same trick, just try to get the first one to do it again. Indeed, he may even turn away and refuse to look at you.</p> <p> Dogs, like people and monkeys, seem to have a sense of fairness.</p> <p> "Animals react to inequity," said Friederike Range of the University of Vienna, who led a team of researchers testing animals at the school's Clever Dog Lab. "To avoid stress, we should try to avoid treating them differently."</p> <p> Similar responses have been seen in monkeys.</p> <p> Range said she wasn't surprised at the dogs' reaction, since wolves - the ancestors of modern dogs - are known to cooperate with one another and appear to be sensitive to each other. </p> <p> In the reward experiments reported in today's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Range and colleagues experimented with dogs that understood the command "paw," to place their paw in the hand of a researcher. It's the same game as teaching a dog to "shake hands."</p> <p> Those that refused at the start were removed. That left 29 dogs to be tested in varying pairs.</p> <p> The dogs sat side by side with an experimenter in front of them. In front of the experimenter was a divided food bowl with pieces of sausage on one side and brown bread on the other. The dogs were asked to shake hands, and each could see what reward the other received.</p> <p> When one dog got a reward and the other didn't, the unrewarded animal stopped playing. When both got a reward, all was well.</p> <p> One thing that did surprise the researchers was that - unlike primates - the dogs didn't seem to care whether the reward was sausage or bread.</p> - SF Chronicle (Associated Press) |
