Well Dutch is about 2 and half yrs old. I've only had her 5 months and I don't think I have ever seen her sleep. She gets an average of 3 walks a day for a least a 3 miles a day, and about an hour of playtime. She still manages to get into everything. I love it because she is so full of youthful exuberance and she makes smile so much just watching her. She even barks at inanimate objects which is completely hilarious. I know she will eventually slow down so I am actually enjoying it for now. I do put her in an expen just to get some peace but she is slowly learning my schedule and is gradually adjusting her playfulness around me. |
Mina is 3yrs,quite the princess,she doesn't really chew on much. Kenzie is almost 18mos and chews only on her antlers and her sisters. Then there is Tilly 9mos. In the past 3 mos she has destroyed part of a wall,a pair of reading glasses,most of the toys in the house and she weighs in at a whopping 5lbs. I would feel bad except I have seen pictures of the damage that one of her litter mates has done. If she is laying anywhere and I ask her what she is doing,she hides her face,even if she is chewing on something that is ok. Which most of the time it isn't. This winter should be fun with firewood coming in the house..... Sigh. |

That's what I was going to say. The little "grout eater" needs supervision when you're home, and then a good work out too. Good luck! |
Having a Yorkie puppy is like having a very active toddler. I had no idea what I would be in for. Lol! That being said, I wouldn't change a thing. Calleigh finally mellowed out some when she was a little over a year. Hang in there! :) |
I'm in the same place you are, OP. My new puppy is 3 months old and such a handful. I don't remember my first, Diva, being so rambunctious. Diva turns 6 tomorrow and she's super mellow. Ruby, on the other hand, is like off the chart hyper. It's as though she's had a triple shot of espresso. And man, is she fast! She takes off with things she knows she shouldn't have and ignores me. When I find a way to lure her to me then she lays on her belly and stretches her legs out and gives me the innocent face. LOL. I can't get anything done unless she's in her crate and when she can see me, she's whining and barking to get out. I just invested in a puppy apartment so now I can get some sleep at night. Wanting to take a nap at work was hurting my productivity. Hopefully soon she'll settle down so I can be more productive at home too. |

I hate when they give the innocent face. I have never been able to resist that innocent face even when you know they are guilty as hell. |
I didn't read all the posts, but it sounds like you have your hands as full as mine. I have an Xpen and I still spend most of my time home chasing a furry butt around saying "drop it" like an idiot because he doesn't listen. At any rate, things have calmed down since I discovered a weapon. :-D. There is this tiny mom and pop dog feed store / dog wash here in town. They sell duck feet for a buck each. Oh my gosh, my saving grace. I hide them around the kitchen and now living room since we learned to hike stairs. Keeps him entertained till its gone or the cat entices him into a game of chase- me- till- I- jump- up- on- the- window- where- you- can't- catch- me. He thinks he isn't allowed to have it so he hides it from me in his bed. Funny and cute, till I got thinking what else is he hiding in there..... |
I was once told my yorkie acted and looked like a mop on crack!!! :( |
LOL. At some point, I think Ruby will think her real name is "Ruby NO!!". LOL |
