It's so easy to spoil them until we realize we have created a monster lol, but a cute little monster.
BTW I do like Mark's garage wine and cheese idea lol."


Barney does this. If you didn't know better, you would think he hates the car. But he gets so wound up that he can't contain himself. Trips to the beach are a nightmare. 10+ hours of him looking at the window and yelling for us to see all of the great things he sees.

It's funny because he's the first one to jump up in that car seat. He sits so pretty, as if he will be the best behaved little man. But as soon as the car starts moving, he's yelling, "Look at that bird! Look at that house! Look at the park! Stop! Stop! You just missed the park!!!!!" The other two just lay there rolling their eyes at him.

At that point in time he went into his non-stop scream mode. I ignored it for about five minutes and then decided to give it back to him. I started barking and whining at him. At first he stopped and looked at me. When he started up again - I started up again. Well, something changed at that moment - he acted like he was really getting pissed with me and seemed to go nuts! I finally decided that a 70 year old man barking at a dog in the middle of a parking lot was not good! :) I just turned up the radio and about 10 minutes later he stopped - just sat there looking at me like he was planning on how he was going to teach me a lesson. :) He would occasional bark and whine but not as bad.

The wife came out and we to another store. The moment we parked - he went into his non-stop scream mode. I just ignored it and in about 3 minutes - it stopped and sat there and looked confused. I finally felt like I was elevated to the alpha dog - I could see the tide changing.

The wife got back and he barked and whined a little and off to the next store. Same thing - non-stop scream mode for a few minutes and then defeat.

Next stop – get some coffee and head home. Same thing – pulled into the parking lot and he went into his non-stop scream mode for a few minutes.

I can see some light at the end of the tunnel but have this feeling he is just setting me up!

Will let you know what happens tomorrow.
Cody will out of no where come when I am and just barking and whining after 10 minutes of his non stop carrying on I give it back to him, bark and whine, he goes nuts that I'm making fun at him, but, I am NOT in a parking lot, too funny.

PS - you will notice he is barking and showing his two rows of teeth - vet said he would remove them (baby teeth) when he turned a year old.

Charlie normally climbs under the covers when we go to bed. We have to be very careful - don't want to crush him. :) This morning was the first time he woke up the wife to get his treat - we are hoping it will be the last time. This is our first Yorkie - never had these "problems" with our other pets. Our last pet was a Bichon Frise named Mandy - a little lady - never a problem. I guess we are paying for the easy ride we had with Mandy. :)
