I really struggle with wording responses. I'm not trying to come off as mean or rude, but I'm going to give you my opinion on what is best for your pup.

I've been looking into your other posts and I really think YOU'LL benefit from reading up on owning a dog. It sounds like you have no experience and did no research before this pup came into your life.

I think in order for you to be a responsible pet owner you should find a Yorkie rescue for this baby before you teach him other bad habits or before he develops other learned behaviors.

Then go from there, buy a fish or volunteer... just find some way to teach yourself about really caring for something. After you've learned how to properly care for another living thing then perhaps research what type of pet you'd like.

When you say "inside" are you referring to the garage?...If so, in my opinion, that is totally unacceptable too.....Please think as to why this pup was brought into your home. Pets need companionship from their owners. Isolation is not something to do to a pup, it's cruel. This pup may do better in a home that is ready and willing to do the right thing by the dog, which is to love, care, teach, and treat like a loved family member.

I really hope this was some kind of sick joke to get a rise out of yters!!! this is truly unbelievable...no words can describe how I'm feeling right now. I have a few choice words for this OP, due to posting rules I will refrain.....

My son lives close to you and would be very happy to pick this little Yorkie up and give him a loving secure home with their little poodle. Please, give this baby a chance to have a happy life. My son's wife is a stay at home mom and would be more than happy to give this boy a loving home. Just pm me and we can set up a time and place for you to meet up with him and his wife.

my dog is being taken care of. im not harming the dog. i give it food n water. no he stays inside the house not the garage.

So is it a boy dog or a girl dog??
Is it 13 months or 14 months??

You've posted a lot of conflicting information.

And you yourself stated youmleave the dog outside, but now you don't?

Get real. Either take care of your dog the way it's meant to be taken care of or give it to someone who will.

What exactly is the point to your thread?

The OP is trying to get a rise out of YT'ers, as evidenced by the fact (1) complaining profusely about the pup and how inconvenient it is, then (2) only responding to the ONE offer to go pick the puppy up and solve his issue, with how he is not mistreating the pup and apparently is not going to let the pup go to a home that realizes having a pet involves more than throwing food and water down for a dog. Neglect IS abuse, and the writer is aware of this....just trying to stir people up.....I doubt there is even a dog involved here....capt. noonie hits the nail on the head...no point to the original thread except to rile people up.

Dogs live a long time
 

I rarely reply to threads of this nature...
A decade with this dog, that you are not enjoying will be bad for both of you.

Accept the offer to have him picked up, and given the life he deserves.
Many dogs are less clingy, much to their owners disappointment, there are many hearts and homes this dog would enrich! And who would enrich his life! Please seek one for him!!!

barkingyorkie, there was an offer from a long time member on this forum if you would like to contact her by P.M. to give the pup a good home. Please give this some consideration. If this situation of owning a pup has not turned out to be what you thought it was going to be, then finding him a loving home would be the best thing for both of you.

This pup is going to be with you for at least the next decade, are you sure you want to do this? Providing food and water is not the only thing required from you, you must interact and show care and concern for him. From your posts it sounds like your heart is just not ready for this, so please, at least talk to Yorkiedaze.

Some how I missed this thread until now.

OP, dogs bark just like people speak and cats meow, if you dog is barking he/she is trying to communicate something to you.

I will try to say this as gentle as possible but pay attention to your dog (trust me it was said to me many times and in most cases the person was correct).

There are many threads on YT that speak to controlling a barking dog and training methods that can be used. My suggestion is search for them, read them and apply some of the methods.

In regards to keeping your dog outside; why in the world would you post that statement? This in my opinion if the first thing you need to correct and controlling the barking is a second priority.

I agree with Capt Noonie, why did you post this thread are you looking for advice, or are you venting (that is also necessary sometimes with a Yorkie)?

I'm sorry.... but I think you meant to post in the rehoming forum. I'm sure you can find someone there who would be more than happy to love your dog and put forth the effort that you cannot. :mad:

Every post is made to garner a firey response. Much of the info posted is conflicting right down to in one post the ears are pointy and up and in anothr the ears are floppy, the pup goes from 13 to 14 mos. in minutes and IT is inside and then outside then inside....

Give it up OP. YT'ers there are many other threads waiting for your always valuable input...skip this nonsense.

I honestly don't think this type of posts deserves a response. The person is more than likely here for their own entertainment. Ignore.

:thumbup:

I dont think this is a joke.

I think the OP is suffering from a serious disorder.

Please overcome your issue and take this dog to the nearest humane society.

Do not get another pet, please thank you have a nice life as he will when rehomed.

OMG. Is this for real????? I can not believe what I am reading. You are not ready to own a dog or puppy or a pet at all. Buying a pet is like adding a new family member into your life. Yorkies are very attached to there owners and will normally attach themselves to one person in particular. They can get separation anxiety and will want to go wherever you go. My male is extremely attached to me and he will follow me where ever I go he will even sit near me when I am eating and he will just lay there. When I am barbeque he is right beside me just laying there watching me, when I put my shoes on he will jump up and down letting me know he wants to come with me. He will stay with me on my couch and cuddle with me to watch a movie. He does not leave my side and if I leave the house and not take him he will wait for me at the front of the door until I get home he will not budge from that spot until I get home. My yorkies are like my kids and are treated like one. I love my yorkies to death and I would not have it any other way. If you did not want a clingy dog then a yorkie was definitely not the right move. Owning a pet is not to be taken into lightly. It takes a lot of time, and patience to train a dog, and you surely should not own a pet at all. Please find your dog a family that has the time and patience for him as the dog deserves it. My dog is very attached to me but he does not bark and if left at home he does not bark either.....

Hi barkingyorkie. I don't know if you're for real or not. You hardly write anything to defend or explain yourself. For most part, I want to think that you're just trying to get a rise out of anyone who will bite your lure but there's a tiny part of me that worries if you really mistreating your "dog".

So here's my thought... instead of owning "dog" why not own "cat" :)

I'm not sure what you're hoping for in this post. Are you looking for advice about him being clingy...or? Could you specify? It's hard to know how to respond to this, not knowing what you're looking for or the intent of the post.

Yorkies should not be left outside (in my opinion, no dogs should be left outside for extended periods, ie living outside in a yard). Yorkies are prey for eagles, hawks, owls, coyotes etcetera.

I'm getting the impression from your posts that perhaps "he" (does he have a name :) ?) isn't meeting the expectations you had before getting a pup? Do you think he is truly a good match for you?

If he isn't, maybe some people here would try to help guide you through alternative options.

I just can't believe this! What cruelty to the little guy! My yorkie is my shadow, I never let him go outside alone. I love that he is so loyal! Please give this dog up to someone that will love him!

I think this poster is jerking our chain....people do not routinely, intentionally pubically admit to child abuse or animal cruelty...leaving a Yorkie outside or in the garage is neglectful, if not abusive or cruel. He says just enough stupid, inflamatory things to get a flare up, then sits back and watches people rage! Ignore him, he has not asked for any suggestions or advice.

I agree with you. In the past I moderated 2 forums, not related to Yorkies and we had the same situation. On a Sammy Hagar board, someone would come on and say he was horrible and they loved David Lee Roth. Stuff like that....its silly, people have nothing better to do. They sit back and read all the huffy posts. They enjoy it...

Sad.

Do you know what's even more sad? I have been thinking about this thread on and off for the past few days, trying to think of how someone enjoys reading angry posts aimed at them. Then I thought maybe this person is for real and I hope they find the help they need here (I feel guilt really easy!).

If this Yorkie is real, how is it now?
If it's not, where is the enjoyment in a post like that?

Hmm.

my yorkie is not a small t cup..it is about 7-8 pounds.. hes a big dog!

:rolleyes:

When I think of a big dog, I think 50 to 70 lbs, not 7 to 8 lbs.:D

This person only wants to argue. This is what a troll does. If they want help there is plenty of info on this forum and in other places. He is here to get Yorkie lovers upset. He gets a sick pleasure from it. He probably has several other forums he visits to do just the same thing. The internet has created all kinds of sicknesses.

:thumbup:

Wow. Are you having fun?:rolleyes:

mmmhmm
 

My thoughts exactly.
