i'm a new mommyyyyyy

(at least thats what everyone tells me lol)
&& im soooo excited. Louis (loo-e) is 4 months and hes beautifully amazing!!!! i have so many questions to ask!!!! , i dont know where to start

.

hummmm

my louis is extremelly different from all yorkies ive seen, mine is a lazybutt but then again... i guess its because hes a puppy? i was a little worried at first but came to the conclusion its normal..he does run around once in a while...hes so good though...ive been potty training him and hes doing very well so far. i hope he keeps up this way

. ive been googling answers to my questions but they all have this random answers and havent been really helpful...like the whole,, petco vs. petsmart thing...and the which food is good for him? ive figured out so far that the vet. science diet..is not really the best food for my puppy (according to some suggestions by people who also have yorkies). i want to know which puppy foods are the best, i dont mind paying the price as long as its good for him. another thing.. my boyfriend tells me he looks like a sissy dog because i put bows on him(UGH!...men)..my mom gave me the idea to make boy-ish ribbons...idk how that works -.- lol.And last but should have beeen my first question... pet insurance? do any of u know which is/could be of more benefit to my puppy? well ill be glad to read any comments/suggestions..

thanks a lotttttt.

This is one of our threads that may help you. Since it doesn't give you names of foods I can tell you I liked Solid Gold, Wellness and Royal Canin but there are many other excellent foods. I would not buy your pets food from a grocery store.

http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...w-parents.html

As far as pet insurance goes I understand VPI Pet Insurance is widely used but I never purchased pet insurance for my pet. I remember that I got a quote from one of the companies and instead of getting it, saved that amount in a seperate account, I sometimes thought the vets raised their prices a bit if they new you had insurance. This worked well for me since my yorkie had very few health problems. It's a gamble either way.
Maybe someone else can tell you their experience with health insurance.

Welcome to you and Louis to Yorkie Talk.

This is what I was looking for, the second on the list is a favorite of alot of yorkie owners.

Royal Canin has breed specific for Yorkies but not every yorkie likes it.

Hi and welcome to YT! Congratulations on your new baby! You can find lots of great advice on here for sure! There is also some people on here that sell some beautiful bows for boys. Don't listen to your BF! LOL

Hi Claudia and Louis

welcome to YT!

Lots of members' boy yorkies wear very manly bows and look sooo handsome! I'm sure when your boyfriend sees the pics he'll change his mind about them looking sissy

I hope you enjoy it here! xxx xxx

Hi!

You just tell your BF that Louis is secure enough in his manhood to proudly wear bows.

uhxohxcece · 07-23-2009, 04:09 PM

thanks for the threads and thank you alll && hellooooo=)

p.s: ive noticed something strange lately. you all might think im weird or crazy but here i go

. my louis never barks not even when people come over my house...ive caught him three times barking on different nights at the same thing. he stands in my living room couch and looks directly at my room..he stares for a while (my rooms door is open) and then he starts barking. mind u...nobodys in my room. why this creeps me out?

two or three months ago i saw a ghost in my room =(
ill explain with details and all so you guys dont think im weird

i had just gotten home from seeing my bf, it was 2 am and my sister had fallen asleep in my bed. i use the restroom...go change and then come back and wait for my bfs txt message ..he txts me and i decide to go sleep... i realize one of my curtains is open...so i start deciding if i should stand up and fix it or not..my sister is sleeping in fact shes drooling LOL shes only 6... well...i decide to not fix it and go sleep thinking im an idiot for even thinking someones looking at me,,, i turn around and feel like someones staring at me.. i look back and nothing.. so i close my eyes.. then i get goosebumps all over my body and i open my eyes... and i see this dark shadow of a young guy... how do i know its a yound guy? he talks to me =( he says" does it feel good?" and laughs

i tried to yell and couldnt i felt like something was in my throat =(((( how do i know im awake? im looking at my sister breathing and the curtain open ..i pinch myself and yes i am awake... i close my eyes and tell myself im dreaming anyway. i turn around and then i feel the same thing... someone watching me,,this time to my right.i look and see the shadow....this is when i creep out and run to my parents room.. of course my mom didnt believe me...and my dad... he didnt say anything..just to turn on my lights and go sleep like that... so i did..but i lkept wakin up because i was super scared =/ well... later i figured out that my dad has seen this ghost because he never wants the door of his room closed...and he sleeps with the hallway light on...he also told me he does see a shadow but he doesnt wanna scare anyone. well.. i keep thinking my louis can see this shadow since he keeps staring at my room.. louis sleeps in my room .. in his crate in the bottom of my bed... he didnt have a problem til' last night i realized he didnt wanna sleep there and he kept trying to climb into my bed.i didnt wanna let him since hes still in the process of being potty trained.i get scared just thinking about it ughhhh!!!!! i just got my puppy last week and i hope nothing else happens. what do u all think? maybe im right ? or am i too crazy >.<

ayayayayyy

Welcome to YT!

Zena did not bark much as a puppy and I was OK with that. But at six months she really developed a voice. Now, at eight months she can really let it rip. Oh my! She barks at the postman and passersby, the doorbell, even doorbells on TV!

Bows? Bows? We don't need no stinking bows! Zena will have none of it; will immediately find a way to get any type of bow/ribbon/band off her topknot. So, we cut her a visor instead and it looks very nice. I'm thankful my SO is not insistent on a bow for her, especially since I do all the walking. She did buy a pink harness and leash. Moan! But changed to black for both after seeing it in use. Woo hoo! I'm over six feet tall and 210 pounds. Zena is 7.5 pounds. I'm sure we are quite a site as we walk, run, and trot together on walks. I'm thankful for no bows, ribbons, or clothes. Whew!

I live too close to San Francisco for that noise! LOL!

Oh, and Royal Canin is what Zena eats along with most any plant she fan find (I know I know, we are working on it).

You are too funny

I think that is so thoughtful of your SO to get a black harness and leash, I'm sure I would do the same if I had a man walking my yorkie.
