She will be better in a day or two. Just keep reassuring her. You shouldn't take her out where other dogs have been until she has had all of her shots. Just to be safe. They are so quick to grab up anything like bird or squirrel poop. Ya know? Is she drinking and eating? I know that I had to put a teaspoon of baby food with Jasper's kibble the first day or so to get him to eat. She will be okay. Is she in your room with you? |

She is okay sweetie. Sometimes their hair can poke them in the eyes and make them water. That's what the vet told me. Its good that she drank water. She is going to have accidents. Maybe start her training tomorrow if that makes you feel better. I'm glad you have her right next to you. Will she get to sleep with you or are you going to kennel train? Do you have puppy pads you can put down to help her to start learning not to tee on the floor? You are a great mommy seeking out help for her :) I really think you will start to see more of her personality tomorrow. |

You have nothing to apologize for. Ask away with any questions. Nobody here minds and there are so many people who know so much about yorkies. Jasper is my first one and I still read and ask questions. That's how we learn. I'm sure Miley will be missing her mommy and brothers, so your love and patience will get you both through it. I can't wait to see how your night actually goes. She may be really tired from the trip and sleep most of the night. That would be awesome, huh? Lol |

Exactly....makes me tired just thinking about a 10 hour car ride. Haha :D I'm so glad you were fortunate enough to find a really good breeder. :) |
1 Attachment(s) Here she is sleeping right up under me. Sorry about my shirt she rubbed against me and lifted it up a little and I didn't want to move her. |

I started out with 2 pads side by side for Jasper. Then after he started getting the hang of it, we only use one. It takes a lot of patience and work to housebreak them. Jasper still has accidents. Just remember that her bladder is really small. So, she will have to go frequently until she can control it as she gets older. There are some really good tips in the Training section to help you. |

Courtney, I never really thought about it until my breeder said this when I got Sophie, "This puppy may have a hard time adjusting at first. It's kind of like a 2 or 3 year old being kidnapped from home." It's heartbreaking to think about it that way, but it did kind of make sense. Mine cried off and on all night long the first night. Each night she slept better and better. I also put a teddy bear in one of my t-shirts in her bed. That way she was with my scent and maybe didn't feel so lonely. As for pad training, I have pads in every room. The main one she uses though is in my bathroom. I put one on each side of my toilet. Every time I go, I take her with me and she goes. I also keep a few Cheerios outside the bathroom door for a reward. You're doing great and I reiterate what we all think, Miley is precious. |

Congrats!!! Your baby is precious! And once she has adjusted you will remember a time when she wasn't queen of the house. I worried about Minnie when I first got her cause she wouldn't walk anywhere really the first few days but then all of a sudden she would explore more and more. Where did you get the purse carrier? and her tag? they are soo cute! |

Jaraden Le Petit Mon Ami Pet Carrier Beige Designer Small Dog Carriers I know Lil Sis sells them as well! Her collar I got from this etsy shop:Dog Collar Grey polka dots with Pink Shabby by graciespawprints Karen has TONS of collars and even does customized orders :) Her name tag came from petsmart :) They have a cool machine that laser engraves the pet tag right in front of you! It took less than 5 minutes. I saw you keep bows in Minnie's hair. I tried to put a rubber band in Mileys hair today and she was not having it. I put a bow with an alligator clip in first and she pulled it out. Any advice on how to get the rubber band in? |
Maybe try to move slow when she is on the floor. Think of how huge you look to such a tiny pup. That is why they back up and act afraid sometimes when you approach them from a standing position. She is used to little ones like herself. She will eventually realize she is in her new home but the first few days can be rough. She won't start to have any real bladder control until she is past 16 weeks so it's good to have a pee pad near by at all times at this point. She is so beautiful. It can be kind of stressful being the new mommy of such a little baby but it is a real bonding experience, too. It gives everyone puppy fever to see someone get a new baby. Congratulations. |
Congrats! :cheer: Miley is such a beautiful puppy. You must be so happy to have her at home with you. Wishing you both the very best:) |

Should I just not encourage potty training until 16 weeks then? Well not necessarily not encourage it but not enforce it? She went pee on the pad once and I gave her a few multigrain Cheerios. Although I don't think she realized that she had went pee on the pad. |
I brought Lexi home with Potty pads and the spray that has the potty smell. I know the puppy pads have the scent, but I sprayed the first pad with the potty spray and immediately she went on the pad. We celebrated like we had hit the lottery. She got a treat, and the potty song I just made up on the spot. She LOVED the potty song! After a couple of times of that, she using the potty pad every few minutes, just for the celebration. I couldn't even talk on the phone, because I'd have to break into song constantly! It was soooo frustrating, but I knew it was good because, even though she often faked for a treat, she was going exclusively on the pads. If she ever goes anywhere but the potty pad be sure to clean it with the special potty cleaner so there's no scent left. The scent should only be on the pad. Also, what worked for me was to stay in one area of the house until she's going exclusively on the pad in that room. Letting her roam the whole house in the beginning, even though the pads are there, I think would be too overwhelming. I'm so excited for you!!! |
