My surrender name was THEODORE what a mouth full for me lol. My last two girls one named Schnae the other was Matese. When I had to call one of them fast their name came out as Mashea lol so I KNEW Theodore would never cut it. I changed his name to Cody before I left my vets office where I adopted him from. He adjusted quickly. I like the name of Kanya and only 2 syllables not 3 like THE-O-DORE lol. yes many nick names he will have. And yes, if I have to call Cody fast Mashea still comes out lol. |
Oh yes I know, but some people would not care. She is excited that she will be able to get weekly updates on him and everything. Said it makes things easier for her. |
Hello and welcome |
Be patient and understanding; big changes for a little guy. You can't be too careful with one so small...Never, ever allow him outside without someone supervising (remember danger can come from above in the way of hawks, etc); just be ever-vigilant, inside and out! I think his current name is great and unusual and I think you're great to adopt this baby. Have a good time and congratulations. |
Do you think it would be wise to invest in a set of stairs? For the couch and bed? Or should he be okay? I just want to make sure I have everything covered for when he comes home. |
I am no expert, but I think you might want to wait on purchasing items, in order to get a better feel for Kanya's behavior, possible issues, etc. Being so tiny, you don't want him jumping (or falling) off of furniture because he could hurt his little self! Mind you, I say this having had no luck in deterring my 9lb girl from jumping off everything--cuz the split second it takes for me to 'help' her down is just too long to wait!! You'll know what works for your little gentleman very shortly after getting him home, I'll bet! |

It sounds like this guy has not had much vet care. I would advise taking him for a checkup right away to a vet who has some knowledge of Yorkies and their health issues. Since you don't know who bred this dog you just want to be sure of what you are going to be dealing with. I hope all goes well for you and him. Please share your experience.:) |
Actually he has had vet care his whole life. Well cared for and very loved. She said his shots are due this month and she just had a baby not long ago and just hasnt had time to get them done. I will be getting all his vet records when he comes. I am waiting to see what all he comes with before I do much shopping for him. They are bringing him to me at work either thursday or friday. So he gets to hang out with me at work before actually coming home. Beyond excited for sure. |
I can practically feel your excitement and I'm excited for you!!! You and he are gonna be great together!! |
Im glad that i am off the weekend. It will help woth introductions and to help him feel at home. |
I called-in to work the first three--yep, three--days after bringing Piper home! And of course, it was more for my peace-of-mind than for her--she was, in fact, pretty fine, but I just had to be certain...!!! You're going to have theee best weekend everrrrr!!! |
Well guys Cayn in home. Thankfully his name is like Cain and Abel not Kahne like west. Lol. They brought him to me at work last night. So he got to hang out with me and all my residents, he is absolutely an angel. I'm actually going to talk to my administrator and see if he can start coming to work with me a couple evenings a week. To me he looks a little thin, but will know more as he goes to vet on Monday for shots and neutering. Introductions are going slow but good with the rest of my crew. He slept all night in his crate beside my bed with no problems. He was taught good manners in his last home for sure. And I think he already loves me as much as I love him. Lol. Any advice on how to fatten this little thing up just a little? |
Awe how exciting! Can't wait to see pics! Is he undernourished or just small boned n thin? My girl is a completely diff build then my boy and they eat the same exact food. |
Hes thin but little boned and long legged lol. So far i have tried dog food and cottage cheese. He wants nothing to do with either.lol. |
I know first couple of days is sometimes hard, can you soak the food or sprinkle w grated cheeee? I ended up changing my guys food he came with bc he just wouldn't eat it. |
