Mocha is a GOODBOY! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Just wanted to pop-in and give you an update on Mr. Mocha...he went to the vet yesterday and weighted a whopping 2 lbs. He looks very good! He also seems to be catching onto potty training really well. We have been using the crate with very good results. As a matter of fact...he has been sleepin in our bed for the last 2 nights without any accidents! Today we went to the park and he didn't need to be on a leash because he just followed us - he is becoming a fast part of our family! Schweet baby!!

Wonderful news! It's so nice when they sleep with you

Sounds like he is doing wonderfully! Congratulations.

May I impart a warning here?

Be careful of not leashing him, because they do get to a stage where they just take off and run like fools. You are probably already aware of this. I just don't want to see your heart get broken if there were an accident.

Yorkieusa is right about the leash. When they are younger they just follow you so good but give them untill about 5 months and its a whole different story. They have a mind of their own and will fly like the wind. Enjoy this time while you have it.

Oh don't worry - Mocha has a big brother who is quite the escape artist...I am just enjoying his "i love mama" stage

Thanks! shellz

I remember a post from eensor...something like "I beat her butt" about her's getting away from her...a black and brown heat seeking missle.......it was sooo funny, but also will scare ya to death!

Glad to hear Mr. Mocha is doing great.
How old is he now?

I really don't want to rain on your parade either but feel it wouldnt be right to not warn you. Large birds in the sky, for example, owls, hawks, etc find small little fur babies prey. Keeping Mr. Mocha on a leash helps protect him just incase.

I have heard of other owners losing their fur babies this way and Id just hate to see / hear it happen again.

Mr. Mocha is just too sweet not to protect!

Mocha was born on Aug 18th - so that makes him about 8 weeks old.

Thanks for this reminder - I heard this when Woodie was a baby - but he is over 10 lbs now and I forgot...(Though we live with a cockatoo that would give any of the dogs a run for thier money)

THANKS! Keep that advice a 'comin!
