| Does your Yorkie know when your going out? As hard as I try to not let Buddy know I am going out when I get home at night after work, he knows everytime! How? I swear this dog understands the English language more than I realize. Last night I had to go back out for my grandson's award night at the HS. I knew I had to trick Buddy into thinking I was not going out. This dosen't happen often but when it does he won't eat a thing. I changed into a robe, like any other night, put my pocketbook away and made his dinner and put a tv dinner into the microwave for me. All he did was stare at me Now you tell me how this dog knew I was going out? I sat and ate and he continuted to stare at me. When I got up to wash the dish he stated at me and did not eat. It happens every time. Nothing was different in any way. He had to hear me talk to my daughter about picking me up. I got dressed 1/2 hr later and left as I heard him howling from outside. He had no dinner either. I tried to fool him but I never can. He too smart for me. It's upsetting really because he had no dinner and I swear I did nothing any different than any other night when he gobbles up his dinner except talk to my daughter about picking me up. He understood every word. You may think I'm nut's but this dog is smater than a fifth grader P.S. my 15yr old grandson received 4 high honor awards. I am so very proud of him. Maybe Buddy takes after him Last edited by ARCHIE; 06-10-2009 at 10:39 AM. |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Buddy's the smartest yorkie ever!! LOL. Actually dogs are more intuitive than we think. The inflection of your voice on the phone could've given you away. Or since you were so busy "being normal"..but obviously paying a great deal of attention to his reaction...he knew. Congrats on the grandson.

| Sugar always knows too. Usually keys shoes coat or purse are clues - but she doesn't rely solely on THOSE clues |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I used to have to try and change my routine in the morning so I wouldn't have to be late for work by chasing our Lhasa Poo. She hated me going to work and did everything she could to keep me home longer. I tried to trick her by doing something different every now and then.

| Buddy is a smart yorkie. I went through this with Chachi this past weekend. My Husband went out of town and Chachi whined for the longest time and then I couldnt get him to eat. I felt so bad for the little guy. Jewels favors me so she just went on her merry way but Chachi was heart broken

Believe me I know this too well. Shoes, pocketbook and clothes all hung up like any other night! It's a pain to go threw all these proceedures only to do it all over again 1/2 hr later and the dog still does not eat! I know also not to use the word "coming" ever when going out. Yet he knew I was When a dog get's as smart as a human it's plain scary. | |

| They TOTALLY know when you're going out!!!...My Apple watches my every move, and if it's shower/hair dryer/make-up, she knows I'm getting ready for work...Since dogs live in the "now", I've been told they don't realize how long they've been alone, so I always tell Apple "to guard the house", I'll be right back, then I give her a treat to occupy her, while I'm slipping out the door...The only time I hear her growl, is when I try to leave, and she growls at my feet, like that might make me stay home lol...These babies are soooooooo attached...I just wish I could retire and spend every minute w/her, but I can't , so it's something we both have to deal with.... |

| Bailey knows too and refuses to eat sometimes. I have to sit on the floor with him and coax him to eat with treats some mornings JUST to get him to eat b/c he's so upset that i'm going to work. It's so heart breaking!!!

Going to work is never the problem this has become routine I suppose. He would prefer me to stay home I'm sure but going out again when I get home is the problem. I have tried fooling him to the max and he just knows anyhow and won't go near his food. It's frustrating. It only happens far and between that I have to go back out, at times he goes with me too and still won't eat. LOL | |

| Congrats on a smart grandson and Yorkie! That is very intuitive! I don't think mine get it from conversation alone but they always know when we are getting ready to leave them. I think shoes are a big factor for mine as I never wear them in the house. They also react to certain clothes. A dress or skirt makes them instantly antsy as they know I am leaving the house. The most reaction I get from clothing is putting on a bathing suit. They immediately go crazy, knowing I will take them out and splash them by the pool. Ben and Candy are both addicted to the water. They will sometimes jump in on their own but they really prefer to run from one side of the pool to the other and have me splash water at them so they can catch it in their mouth. They get mad when I cut them off worrying too much water will make them sick. Your Buddy sounds like he is realy tuned to you!
