Any RULES you've changed for your Yorkie?

[chachi]

Well my dogs dont get people food to often. I used to feed Iams but since Yorkietalk we have switched to a better brand. I didnt let qany of our pets sleep withus but now Jewels and Chachi sleep with us every night.

[kara]

I beleive now more then ever (Matise is my first yorkie) that rules simply just do not apply to these guys.....
This is about the general digression in our house. (well all but the part about staying outside-we have never in my life kept any dogs outside.-even the outside dogs come inside whenever they want….

This is from an email I got in the mail.


1. Dogs are never permitted in the house. The dog stays outside in a specially built wooden compartment named, for very good reason, the dog house.
2. Okay, the dog can enter the house, but only for short visits or if his own house is under renovation.
3. Okay, the dog can stay in the house on a permanent basis, provided his dog house can be sold in a yard sale to a rookie dog owner.
4. Inside the house, the dog is not allowed to run free and is confined to a comfortable but secure metal cage.
5. Okay, the cage becomes part of a two-for-one deal along with the dog house in the yard sale, and the dog can go wherever the heck he pleases.
6. The dog is never allowed on the furniture.
7. Okay, the dog can get on the old furniture but not the new furniture.
8. Okay, the dog can get up on the new furniture until it looks like the old furniture and then we'll sell the whole darn works and buy new furniture...upon which the dog will most definitely not be allowed.
9. The dog never sleeps on the bed. Period.
10. Okay, the dog can sleep at the foot of the bed.
11. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you, but he's not allowed under the covers.
12. Okay, the dog can sleep under the covers but not with his head on the pillow.
13. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you under the covers with his head on the pillow, but if he snores he's got to leave the room.
14. Okay, the dog can sleep and snore and have puppy dreams in bed, but he's not to come in and sleep on the couch in the TV room, where I'm now sleeping. That's just not fair.
15. The dog never gets listed on the census questionnaire as "primary resident," even if it's true.


These were so funny!!!!!

we "hang" on our tiny edge of the biggest bed made so as to not disturb the "Queen Bee" at night?
-------sometimes I sleep on couch because it is more comfortable....

" he picks his seat first" ------------or in our case justs sits on top of you---on top of your head if it was possible...

" my house is a litterbox" -----------please I mean most days I am glad I can find the little pee spots before they stain or dry, there I am searching around like a crazy person for these pee spots and he's just following me around like whatever and I just think he's so cute when he turns his head sideways out of curiosity for what am I doing.............

how they HOG the bed, and rather than Wake them,, ( cause they have SUCH a rough day ahead) we lay awake, or cramped, or with a big kink , somewhere,,, so they can sleep! What is wrong with US??!! ---------can you say charlie horse......

Mine was " Noone is going to feed him people food" - ya well, he is the BIGGEST BEGGER, I have EVER seen,, he gets a little here and there.

And I hated that people crated their dogs,, thought it was cruel... Well Bailey loves his crate, goes in even when he doesnt need too.

And I use to buy average, cat food,,, until I found YT,,, now I buy the best food for my pets.

How about you,, any rules changed since you got your Yorkies

Yeah...we let everybody pee and poop in the kitchen floor now.....

Villette, those sound like some of the rules my brats listed. There is naught but one rule in this household-well, maybe 2 but they are for the same reason.. 1) remind daddy to know where his feet are before he takes a step. and 2) if he does not obey that rule and steps on one of us, we all get to piddle in his shoe!! And, mommie can use cuss words that would make a trucker blush!!!
