I used to have Boring Brownie, but now that I know she has a foot fetish, I just take off my socks and wiggle my toes, then she goes nutso!!!

Jack is a hypher healthy 16 month old who never is still unless sleeping. I have him at my store every day, and I don't need a door alarm because he greets everyone that comes in even before the door is opened, I have a bay window by the door and he stands in it and barks as soon as a car pulls up.
At home he is nuts from 5 until 9, when he will get a drink, eat a couple of kibbles and then climb up on my Husband's lap to go to sleep, I then usually have to carry him into be (He sleeps with us) when we go.
Mornings he is quite lazy until we leave for work at 8.30, then he is awake most of the day except for very short naps.
The main reason I have wanted a Yorkie was because of this wonderful personality, and guts, he is my best buddy.

He eats good and loves to play he just doesn't like to play all day long. He is housebroken and has been since he was 5 months. So I have no complaints at all. He also gets me up in the A.M. to go out. I really don't think what is normal for one is always normal for another. Personally I prefer to have him the way he is. It would drive me insane to watch him run around all day long.

I'm sure your dog is totally fine and healthy. All dogs are different. I WISH Zoe would calm down! She loves people, but jumps all over them, so I usually have to crate her when visitors come over... especially if they have kids... she'll knock them down with excitement!!! Your dog would probably do really well as a therapy dog!! That would be awesome

I think Diesel takes after his mom. When we saw her she was really laid back too. She wasn't very hyper at all. She let us rub her and love on her but she didn't really want any part of it tho. She knew we were taking one of her babies and all she wanted to do was keep him there. I had thought about Diesel being a therapy dog. I thought it would be a good opportunity for my dd as well. It might be worth looking into.
