I understand her frustration. Maybe it's because I went thru similar frustration dealing with a baby that had colic and reflux. I love him to death, but there were times I got so overwhelmed I overreacted.

With this, I'm done. This turned into a negative thread a long while back, and I think we should just all move on. Moderators?

this has nothing to do with this post...CarlaDean...i just have to say, my mom's name is Carla and my grandpa's name was Carl Dean...i really like your name and had to let you know it!

So I was wondering if anyone else has heard this. Dogs do not have a sense of time... meaning, they can't really tell if they have been in a crate for 10 mins or 10 hours. Mine react the same way with the different time spans. VERY EXCITED TO SEE MOMMY!!

Hehehe I leave animal planet on sometimes when they are being extra good. I still feel like they escape sometimes from their crate but get back in before I get home LOL (kind of like when I was little, I used to think my toys came alive when I wasn't in the room, Toy Story just added to my fuel... I almost convinced my mom that too LOL hahahaha I was one convincing kid hahhahaha)

Nothing to do with the post either, and that's a good thing!

It's a nickname from my husband. When we were dating he taught the little neice and nephew to call me Carla Dean the Pootin' Machine...and to think I married him!!

hahah...

i was thinking i might name a daughter Carly Jo after my mom, her name is Carla Jo, but now i wonder if Carly Dean would be cute???

we actually know for sure we're going to use Alessandra Jo (Allie Jo) because my hubby is Italian and we love that name

we also like Ava, Eva...or at least I do...

and for a boy Grant Austin...after my father and great great granpa.

Oh, how I can relate! I jumped in the shower yesterday after I put Jonah in the crate. I got out of the shower and walked back into the room. Jonah sat pretty as soon as I entered. Cute, right!? Of course, he was let out immediately. I was going to let him out anyway. He was so excited, I'm thinking because he can't stand to be away from me so he jumped right on my lap, squatted down and peed all over me........and yes, you read it correctly, he peed all over me!!!!!!!!!!! Then I got this vision in my mind....of packing him up in a nice big box and sending him off to my Secret Buddy...I came around when I couldn't find the tape and decided to keep him...lol! Joking aside, I was beyond frustrated!!! I understand and I sooooooo get it!!!!!!!!!

[RachelandSadie]

been there tooo... i just can't stand it sometimes when i want some ME time and my hubby is working and my little Sadie isn't being so sweet and cute anymore and she's wanting more attention and biting at me and being a little stinker...

you want to just be able to put them on a shelf and pick them back up when you're ready again, but you can't

i don't blame the OP one bit for frustration or venting...puppies are HARD WORK, anyone that tells you different is selling you something.

not to mention yorkies require more attention and more time and love and patience than a lot of other dog breeds so it's harder than an outside kennel dog....

just be patient and it eventually gets better and it will all be worth it when your puppy is a dog that has lived with you for 10-20 years and made your life so wonderful and happy...it'll come to that point one day, and i'm with you both in the waiting period of having a little toddler puppy on my hands...

good luck!

I have heard that too but found it hard to beleive and always wondered who the dog was that told them that?

Many people have said things like if you don't want advice or aren't going to listen to it, then don't ask. How about if you can't take having your advice ignored, don't post it. This is my last word on this site. I'm sorry to leave all my friends, but bye bye.

I don't think many people care if their advice is taken or not. At least I don't. What I think is out of line is when people start suggesting that something they do not want to listen to is negative.

People get dogs to provide them with love and care and vise versa...why would you get a dog that you just keep isolated all the time? Your other dogs probably just sit in a corner and don't interact with you at all which I can see being your definition of "perfectly behaved".

My dog is very spoiled and one of the best behaved dogs I have ever known. There is a balance between love and discipline....and discipline is NOT locking up your dog.

Go sit in a closet for a day and see if you don't pee yourself and get angry about it.

I haven't been following this thread so I was going through all the posts from the beginning and I think the last sentence is funny! Right on!!

Just curious, why give advice if you don't care if it's taken? Don't you give advice to help?

Also, I have been on other threads where the OP felt as though advice was a bit too harsh or it personally attacked or insulted them and I didn't agree so I never commented. There are a few comments on here, not constructive criticism or advice, but comments that were totally unnecessary, not helpful, judgemental and based on assumptions. What was the point? I had to ask myself that question a few times....

Also, it just doesn't thrill me at all that there are numerous members on here who feel insulted or hurt from this or previous posts. Not to mention, members fearing asking questions because they don't want to be judged. If I knew how to list each comment like that on one post I would so everyone can see them all lined up. There are people behind their posts and people have feelings. I teach my daughter to watch how she speaks to people so that she doesn't hurt anyone's feelings and she's six....

Lots of people that have been posting lately do not like neg feedback. IF you ask the question you WILL get an answer, so put on your ARMOUR and take it. Either learn from it or blow it off and keep doing what you are doing, but dont come whinning.JMO

Please read the entire post before quoting me and making a judgement about what I am saying. I was responding to someone else whom I will quote below.
I think you are attacking me...!
I give advice to help....but, if a person cannot use it, hey...no worries. It is only MY opinion. Everyone has an opinion....just like they have the same body parts.
And...I will say it one more time. No one was mean to this OP.
Yes, people are questioning her now .. why? Because she has been saying the same thing for months now and keeps suggesting she is going to get rid of her yorkie. She then does not post again .. she did on this thread after someone said she never responds after her initial post. But take a long look at her responses. Really read them!
I hope this all works out for her...that this yorkie is ok.
