Confessions of a first time yorkie owner...

[miezzi]

So I have never had a dog ever before either!! Luigi was my 1st also!!!! And I am still learning!!!! My big thing was the harness thing too!!!! LOL. Still can't figure it out sometimes!!!!
But I think we are all still learning all kinds of new things!!!!

i am so glad im not alone! Its so much fun learning as i go with Sirius, he is very patient with me

i am dying at golfwidow's story about puttin the puppy's ears where the legs go, freaking hilarious!!

that said, i have a confession to make- i've bought sirius a total of four harnesses. not because of function, but because they never fit him right! FE had suggested i get a cat one, since sirius is about the size of a hamster so i did, and it fit pretty well...considering i have been putting them on WRONG for the past 2 months!!!!!!! thank god for tinkerbellscloset.com and Shana, because they have a picture of a dog wearing a harness and suddenly it dawned on me ive been putting it on wrong this whole time. [ty shana!!!!] i was putting in on like a saddle, not around his neck because the whole point was so that nothing would touch his neck! i feel so dumb, but whatever, learn something new everyday. :]

so i figure i cant be the only one to make a yorkie faux pas...would anyone like to make any confessions of supidity? or am i alone on this?

I absolutely LOVE this thread of yours...LOL....its soooo human! It's also a nice reminder that we can love and have pets and not be the "Perfect" mom all the time.....

I've never had a furkid before Yoda either. So you're not alone there! Okay, so FE will confess now...

It only took me about 6 months (maybe even closer to 9 ) to FINALLY figure out how Yoda's harness goes on. Oh yeah, just last week, I put the harness on Yoda, and I put it on upside down. Had to do it all over again....

Im so glad there are more new comers to this breed. Im still trying to get Nina off of my Jack Russells back leg, he just drags her around with him outside. It is funny how he knows shes the baby. He just mouths her, like come on already!!!
Patty and Nina

Another confession would be placing top knot bows in too tight and giving the fur kids face lifts.

Hahahahahaha! at "face lifts"....LOL!
