does anyone else have an ornery furbaby

[yavenay]

I swear Duchess will be the death of me. She is almost 8 yrs old and still acts like a puppy. She's always into something and when she can't find anything to get in, she torments the cat.........When I walk her, every furry critter she sees, she wants to chase. Thank God for a leash.

If I take her to the dog park, she loves to run the fence. The fence separates the big dogs from the small dogs and so she stands at the fence barking at the big dogs hoping to find one who will run the fence with her. There have been times when every big dog in the park, stops what they are doing while they all run the fence.

If I don't get her outside for her exercise, she starts barking. And if I still don't move fast enough, she will start tormenting the cat. I thought they were supposed to slow down when they get older......not Duchess, the older she gets, the more energy she has.

LOL they slow down a bit at 10 years old. When my now passed girls reached 10 and they accidentally got out of the house or yard they headed straight for the woods and off and running after them I went and was able to catch the lil she demon.
My last girl Matese OMG, if she had been my first yorkie, she would have been my last yorkie, I would never have gotten anymore, the mischief she got into right up until she was 14 yo, she stopped when she started to loose her eyesight and hearing.
If I didn't see her she was up to no good, that girl kept me on my toes lol, I miss my girls so much.
Cody is a very calm boy, he never gets into mischief, he is just a perfect boy but, if he gets loose he would be gone in a flash he runs faster then a speeding bullet and he is 8 yo.

They are truly little stinkers. To be honest. I love her youthful exuberance. To me it means she is happy and healthy. Okay maybe not playing with the cat in the bed while I am sleeping at 3.00 in the morning I can do without.. So even though I complain I definitely wouldn't want it any other way

My cat is really still a kitten at heart too so she's all in with Duchess antics. She ain't innocent either. She walks up to Duchess and slaps her (no claws) and takes off running with Duchess barking and chasing after her. It's never ending.

But check this out......Duchess is a little snitch. If Chloe is doing something she isn't supposed to be doing, Duchess will come bark at me just like a child snitching on a sibling. It is hilarious because when I scold Chloe, Duchess starts scolding her too. They are literally just like skin kid


They always keep me laughing

My oldest at 12 still wants to run around and play with the youngest 2 lol. My mom took her shirt off so I could put her harness on to go to the vet and told her to run and I had to chase her through the house and she had so much fun.

In 1986 I had 3 girls, all 3 years apart, I stopped watching TV in 1980 when I got my first yorkie, one yorkie was entertaining but 3 were a blast, they were funnier then anything on TV. And I had a snitch also, the middle child, anytime the baby was was getting into mischief Miss lil snitch would come barking then run to where the trouble maker was lol. I would kinda scold the baby then run into the bathroom and laugh. Their naughtiness is just so funny and cute, so hard to be firm with them, they are so child like lol. My girls made me laugh everyday of their lives.

I know you are enjoying your fur babies crazy play antics, and they are happy and that's what counts

This made me laugh)) Our Mike just might be Dutchess's long lost cousin lol Okay he's only one year old but I swear this dog is like a couple of toddlers. Precisely a couple of boy toddlers Chasing cats, trying to eat things from trash, barking if not exercised, opens wardrobe to steal socks, stubborn like a rock!!! This morning he got into a melted sugar candy on the walk. Had to pull it out and got it all over his face, leach, hardness and myself too. On the way home tried to chase the cat.. At home tried to steal sausage wrapping from the trash. Had to pull it out of his mouth. Then, went on a 5 km hike up in the mountains - didn't wanna be carried and jumped on high altitudes like he was born to do it. Barked at everyone who was too slow in front of us or blocking the way. Tried to eat everything around. Washed/dried him after the hike and he still had energy to run out of the door to the elevator while I was taking the trash out and scare our neighbour to death with the loudest barking in the world. I had to go and apologize with a platter of cookies. I was very very silly thinking that he was quite calm as a puppy. As he grows he gets into more and more mischief and misbehaviour For the first time in my life I'm considering moving somewhere with a little fenced garden so little demon can run around all day long

This is my Duchess exactly even at 8 yrs old.. Nonstop ball of energy.

Who needs tv when you have 3 yorkies to entertain you. My little snitch does the exact same thing. If Chloe jumps up on a table she isn't supposed too, Duchess comes looking for me a full speed.....it's hilarious.
