Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I'm being ignored! We have spent the past 3-4 months moving home, over half the length of the UK. In that time I have been away a bit and we have existed in a world diminished by the disruption of packing, cardboard boxes etc etc. Latterly we have been in a trailer whilst our new home has been renovated etc. The two girls now almost completely by-pass me. One used to sleep in my bed, but now both follow mum around like shadows. To me this is understandable, as she has had to totally feed and exercise them. In the past few weeks my health has finally pronounced upon my bodily demands, as the regime of stress and exhaustion has finally taken its toll on my elderly frame. So all in all, I've been even more out of it. I hope when we move in to the new place in a few weeks they may remember the dad that loves them so much? Part of my reasoning for the move was their emancipation from a high-rise apartment to a country cottage with a beautiful and secure garden for them. I might have paid a high price for my altruism I fear? |

| So sorry your feelings are hurt. Your babies will appreciate all the efforts in due time.

| Ah, Doc, you're a wonderful dad. Things are unsettled now, and so are your little girls. Your new place sounds beautiful. I hope you begin to feel better and that your little ones return to your loving embrace.

Bless your hurt heart! But, dont worry...this is just what they do!! They are "punishing you" for not devoting 110% of your time with them, instead of all that unnecessary work stuff you think is so important for the move!!!! They will get over it and YOU will have the last laugh! One day soon, you will be able to look down as they nestle up to you once again, and you will be able to tell them, "Look around kiddos!!! All of this is for YOU!!!!"....and all will be right with your world again!!! | |

| Ignored. Aaaw, so sorry your girls are being unkind to their loving dad. But you have been rather preoccupied and unable to devote all your waking moments to them, so they are getting their own back. Seriously though, sorry all the stress, both mental and physical, have affected your health. But moving is the mother of all stressors in my view. Your new place sounds lovely and in a few weeks you will be fully installed with boxes all gone and everything in its place. Hoping you feel better soon and that you enjoy the new home and environment. The girls will so enjoy the grounds to run in and you will have more time to devote to them. Then all will be well. So don't fret, they will come around and come back to you. Congratulations on your new home and I wish you every happiness there. Some pics of the house and garden, plus the divas of course, would be nice when you have time. Warmest wishes and get well soon. Dot. |

| Well, little gals have to punish dumb ol' boys and sometimes their dads for slighting them in some way...What better way than the 'silent treatment' as it were, than to make the fellas a little jealous by giving their attention to someone else ?! Girls always, always love their dads the best---one of the reasons they (ah-hem, we) act all cool and above it all---you have their hearts completely and they can only keep up the pretense for so long, then they'll be on you like white on rice! |

| They'll forgive you if you make sure to make lots of outside time for them. At least that's how I keep on Cookie's good side. A little bit of bell pepper doesn't hurt either.

| I have similar situations with my girl, Kimchi. Sometimes I get tired or don't devote enough time to her liking and then she'll go hang out with "grandma" more. (My mother watches her while I work). Then when I take her out and do more stuff with her and/or "grandma" ain't home, she'll start to stick to me more lol So it's more or less who's gonna pay more attention to her or who's got the most of what she wants :P

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Thanks everyone, I fell asleep exhausted in the trailer last night early evening and woke after an hour to find two little bods, the 4lber (Holly) on my chest and the 8lber (Crystal) snuggled in between my legs. I'm sure when Dad can give them more time they'll return to being with me. Irina says they get very uneasy whenever I'm away and Crystal in particular stays on my coat for some reason. We have a few things to do, but nothing structural and 90% of it contractual. So here's hoping when they sample the benefits they'll remember the benefactor! I'll eventually get some pics up too. |
