| Hi from newbies Kristal and Chewie! Hey! We've been lurking on YT for a little while, and I decided that I should join and say hi! I got Chewbacca about 2 and a half months ago (he's about 5 and a half months now), and it's been great fun since then! Since Chewbacca's such a big name for the little guy, he goes by Chewie, or Bug, or Turkeybutt, depending on what he's up to at the current moment! Chewie loves his Skinneez squirrel, catching grasshoppers, and all people and dogs--he's not shy at all, and he's made friends all over town! We live in small-town South Dakota, and winter's upon us, so we'd appreciate any suggestions for how to burn off energy in sub-zero and white-out conditions 2nd pic is Chewie up close and personal, 1st is Chewie with his "cousin" Murphy, a 70-pound boxer (my sister's dog). Needless to say, Chewie and Murphy have VERY supervised playtime!

| Welcome, Kristal, and to your special little friend, Chewie. He's terribly cute! We still go out when it is in the 20's for short walks. Get him some Pawz dog boots and some 4-legged jogging suits and put a warm coat over that and he'll show you how much he loves being out. They like to play in the snow. If you stay in, a good game of ball will give him plenty of exercise and wear him down. He surely likes to play fetch! They also have snow suits if he is planning on be outside in the cold.

| Welcome to YT! Your baby is precious! Don't have any snow weather advice for you---it hardly ever snows here in GA. Enjoy your baby.

| Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! It's been kind of a "Turkeybutt" day--instead of playing with his toys, he found and shredded a newspaper, I caught him marking a chair (almost time for a neuter!), and now he's stalking a fly. Crazy pup. Karen, thanks for the cold weather tips. Chewie LOVES to chase, but the whole retrieving part of fetch is definitely a work in progress. We're leaving on Wednesday for a week-long roadtrip to Oregon and back with my folks and sister. I hope the major upset in routine doesn't set back his potty-training too much!

| Yorkies just hate to give up their toys! Oh, yes, I was going to suggest bully sticks to keep him from chewing good items. Just google bully sticks if you aren't familiar with them. They are great for teething pups.
