What weird habit does your yorkie have? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

1Ieisha · 10-27-2011, 02:09 PM

Every night when we're lying in the bed Max always has to do his "sleep ritual" which consists of him digging in the covers like he's digging a hole. Get down on the floor and attacking his doggy bed as if it were some kind of threat. Then jump back on the bed and beg me to move my feet under the cover so he can play with them... lol. After that he sleeps like a baby!! But if he doesn't do it he will stay up... all night.

Weird Habits ? 8 year old Grandpa Rubin separates his food, into portions, 3 neat little piles. He eats one right away. ( I feed them in their crates) one he leaves in his bowl which he covers with his blanket. The last pile he eats slowly laying down. like an ancient reclining Roman feaster. The pile under the blanket he nibbles at about lunch time. The other dogs do not go in his crate. Because that is where he naps, until all the food is gone. LOL

Elvis needs therapy.
1. He licks himself and picks with his front teeth like a cat.

2. He doesn't like being dirty (see #1) he goes in the yard jumping, tip toeing from "clean spot" to "clean spot" patio to board, to stump to redwood root to stump to stepping stones to accent stone in garden and back...no grass if he can aavoid it.

UGH embarrassing! If it has rained and the grass is wet or frosty when it's cold, Elvis will #1 & #2 on the patio cement.

#3. Sometimes Elvis is so excited he will spin in circle tucking his butt-lots of dog especially Yorkies do this right-but do they then think eww my bottom touched the floor and have to go clean themselves and then come back 30 minutes later equally excited? Seriously he's OCD.

All these stories... so cute! Bailey LOVES to be heald like a baby, but only by me... I really don't know why. But when I hold her her head hangs off my arm and she falls asleep. She also likes to come at you with her toy like she wants to give it to you, gets really close and as soon as you reach your hand down to get it, she RUNS! As fast as her short little legs will take her. This isn't really cute, but if the door is cracked to the bathroom she pushes it open with her nose and comes in and lays down, walks around... Can we EVER get any privacy? She also wakes me up in the morning. If the door is closed she will ram into the door over and over again and then do a couple whines and then start all over untill you open the door and she likes to sleep with me in the morning, right next to my face...at 6 in the morning. sigh. I still love her. These furbutts are more like children, not dogs.

My Bailey likes to sit right on my chest anytime I sit down, he climbs up my lap straight to my "boobs"... LOL and lays down. In the car he climbs all the way up to my shoulder and sits there and looks out the window.

You are not alone!

Elvis affords me no privacy to go to the bathroom myself.

If there is no company here I just leave the door open to save him the stress of scratching the door when it's between us.

I'm going to create a thread -specifically about this-I'm comfortable enough to say it now, if I start the shower though Elvis will run

under my bed and lay under it in the middle where he knows no one can reach him

because it's just easier to give the dogs a bath these days when I -take a shower!

One at a time of course!
Taking a shower with three dogs in it would just be weird!

Hehe, Rhia has a ton of weird and cute habits.
-She loves to steal socks. Whenever I come home from work she will hop around my feet and wait for me to toss them to her.
-She also has an odd eating habit. She'll take a mouthful of food, then run away from her bowl to eat it. She's done this everywhere she goes. Like she's afraid we'll take it from her!
-The words "cheese", "treat", and "petsmart" are her favorites. :P

That is just the cutest thing ever!

Gracie likes to sit on the back of the recliner like a cat. She also likes to steal things out of closets or where ever she can find something she should not have.

She likes to plant her front feet on my chest and force me to let her lick my face. I know this is her way of saying she is the boss so I don't let her do it for very long. She mostly does it when I have been busy and not paying enough attention to her.
