| New Member Hi my name is Jacky and my husband and I are the owners of a Yorkshire Terrier Femail, We are her 6th home and we have had her for nearly a year, (She was 2 years old in February.) The last owner said she had already had three names so we stuck to her last one of LILLY.We are determined to make sure this is her last home, but she has lots of problems. She is terrified of sticks, feet etc. Also she can be very naughty, We dare not let her off the lead as she runs away, she goes for people on bikes, people in uniform, and is terrified of "loud children" (although she is great with our 5 year old grandchild.) she will not go through the night and gets very distressed unless she is on our bed. As far as food is concerned she will not eat unless we leave her in a room on her own and if we go near her when she is eating she runs and hides. The good thing is she IS getting better SO Even with these problems we both love her so I guess she is here to stay. |

| Thank you for your message. Yes Lilly has had a bad start in life. Her first owner was a lady in her 80`s who bought two, a male and a femail, when they played to rough she used to hit them with her stick or move them with her feet. She gave Lilly away when she was about 10 months old and from then on she was passed from one person to another until we heard about her. The vet has seen her and thinks she will always be rather frightened although she is a lot better than when we had her. |

| It sounds like she is finally at the home she is supposed to be at. Your love and patience may bring her around. I will be happy to hear stories about her. Good Luck!

| Welcome to YT! I am so glad the poor baby finally has a permanent home. Bless her heart. We also have a rehomed yorkie that is 10 months old and we are his 3rd home. Patience is definitely key with them. Good luck with her and can't wait to see pictures!

| Welcome to YT!!! I love the name Lilly. My sister has a rehomed yorkie, she has had her for now 2 years, her name is Disney. She had 2 homes before my sis got her. She is now so spoiled to my sis, and has adjusted great but it did take a while. Things will get better. Keep us posted and good luck with your precious Lilly

| Lilly is very lucky that she finally found you. I'm sure that she will learn to trust in time. Since she wants to be on your bed, it sounds like she already knows you are different from her other owners. Look forward to hearing how she does. |

| Hello and Welcome to YT! My Peek a Boo was 5.5 years old when I adopted him. He had 5 previous homes. He'll be 13 this December. He still has memories from his past, and it took him a long time to really bond with me. I just tried to be very patient with him, but I think the thing I did that had the biggest impact on him was that everyday, whether or not he was good or bad, I took a few minutes to hold him and tell him "What a good boy!". From his first reaction, I don't think he ever heard those words before. It's very sad to think of what they may have been through in their previous homes. The first time I picked his bed up to wash it, you should have seen the panic in his eyes. I almost cried. I held him the whole time it was in the wash and had assured him that no matter what he did, he would never have to leave, that this was absolutely his home and he could stay here with me forever. I went and bought a second cover for his bed, so I can wash one and still keep the bed in it's place, so he won't get upset. This works, and I try to pick up on little things (little for me, big for him) that bother him so I can minimize his fears and worries. Too much for such a little guy to have to handle. He has gotten much better about things, I think he feels better about himself, too. He needed to feel like he mattered, like he was Number One around here. Of course that went a bit too far, so we cut back a bit, but it helped his self esteem greatly. Bless You for adopting your pup. Just be sure to let her know how special she is and that you love her, no matter what. Your love will be returned. Good Luck!

| Welcome Bless you for accepting the challenge. I am sure with love and patience your new baby will come around. He will figure out you are not like his other homes, and I would not be surprised if he blossoms with your love and care. |
