MARYKAY48 · 03-26-2006, 03:23 PM

I love all 3 and I spend time with each one which I believe they all need and deserve. When I first bought tike we found out that nite he was sick. I took him to the vet and he said take him back but we stuck with it. I then found out he was going to be 10 pds not 5 or 7. I then fell in love with him. I did go out and buy another one. I did not know there were roudy yorkies. I have one already that is 4 yrs old and very lay back I thought they all are. I now have tike and he bounces off the wall all the time. and when I bought this new guy a little 2 pds I was concern about the 4 yr old not ttike bothering him but benji great and tike very ruff on him. Ed was working alot of over time and all nite he would hear barking from tike trying to get to the baby or getting benji to play. Then tike wakes us up at 12 am 2 am and by 5 am he up for the count. Thats ok now but was hard to get use to tis. I never had a roundy yorkie so it is taking adjustment. I have made some mistake but trying to learn from them. I stay home with my yorkie i do not work. So I do spend alot of time wit them.I WELCOME ANY HEL BUT GO EASY ON ME.i AM NOT A BAD PERSON.

I've spent the past 20mins or so reading this...I am punch drunk-dumb-struck. I thought I posted to this last week...I remember in a thread like this, by the OP telling her to REHOME Tike...Please re-home the Poor baby, especially if you can't and won't give him equal and unconditional love under the having a pet code of ethics and responsibility.

Mary. I don't know if you read my last post or not but I explaine to them why you were worried. There are girls and guys on here that will help you so be patient. Ignore the ones that aren't. Soon they will realize like I did that we jumped to quickly. As I told you in the message I sent you. I'm sorry. I figured I jumped you in public so now I wanted to aplogize in public. As far as your husband goes. Trust me my husband doesn't give two cents about my pets and complains on a regular basis..I just tell him that if I can put up with him he can put up with me and my animals..or I cry and say he hates me and my animals lol..whichever one i think will work at that time..hehe..

Here's pics of marykays yorkies..she emailed me them so I am posting them for her...they are adorable and look well taken care of.
The first one is Benji..second tyke and third one is zip

Baby Blessing · 03-26-2006, 04:39 PM

I am wondering possably MaryKay if Tike is hyper because of the food he is eating? What food do you have him on? We had a doberman years ago that was very hyper and the vet told us it was the food she was on so we changed to Nutro Max and that seemed to help her from being hyper. Is Tike getting a lot of excercise during the day (this really enables them to sleep better at night) I am glad you are home and able to devote the time and effort, hopefully he will do better.

Rhanna · 03-26-2006, 04:41 PM

Marykay, your yorkies are so cute. I know your main concern is whether Tike will hurt Zip. As I am trying to post my Yorkie is on top of my cat, my bigger dog is trying to wrestle with my Yorkie. They do play rough and they learn how to bite. I do not stop my dogs from biting. As soon as someone gives a yelp and that is not very often everyone stops playtime. It is good for zip to play with Tike and Benji. It is good socialization for them.

Sorry - but I'm always the mean one....

I think this whole thing is ridiculous.

Why in the world would anyone get two puppies if they can't tolerate the two little guys playing in the evening -- or put up with their waking up or having to go potty during the night.

MaryKay - when you have children - you can multiple these discomforts or inconveniences a hundred times.... and you can't be disappointed with your babies size or return them.

Dogs (especially smaller house dogs) need to be in a home where they are loved unconditionally and treated as part of the family.

If my husband's main concern in life was watching TV to the exclusion of everything else - I don't know what I would do... I think I would get him a TV in another room.

And being awakened at night - I wake up every night many times for a hundred different reasons....and then go back to sleep. Don't all of us wives and mothers do this?

Anyway - MaryKay - I think you are lucky to have two wonderful little dogs. They are only pups and puppies have to play, and play-fight, and romp and do all the things that puppies do. A lot of this behavior improves as they become older and become trained. My fear, is that with your husband's complaints, you don't have much of a chance to enjoy your little guys and give them the type of home they deserve. That's too bad.

And what is this size thing!!!! Big Yorkies are very little dogs! They are totally wonderful little pets.

I think your real problem is your husband. If you can't get him to tolerate and enjoy the puppies more, I don't think you have much of a chance to work things out.

But - I certainly do wish you the best of luck. I think you and your husband have to sit down and discuss these little puppies and decide whether or not they can become a real part of your family. They must be just as loveable as can be....I can't understand why he doesn't want to enjoy them more than he does.

Good luck!

Remember marykay ignore the negative comments. YOu are here for advice so pay attention to those ones.

Snow wa. I don't think what you said is remotely right. My husband doesn't care for my pets..complains all the time about them..does that make me a bad pet owner..i think not..this is ridiculous..she is here for help. If you dont' feel the need to help then why bother to post. So you can be unkind. I also don't blame her for wanting to make her husband happy. He works he should have time to enjoy his evening. Just because she enjoys her pets doesn't mean he does. She has all day to play with them so what does it hurt for her to give him his time in the evening. He respected her loving animals so therefore let her have them. So she in return is respecting him by giving him quite to enjoy t.v. I see nothing wrong with that. I love to make my husband happy as I am sure marykay enjoys making her husband happy.

TashasMom -- I am sorry your husband doesn't care for your pets and that he complains about them all the time. I have never been in this situation.

I certainly never said that MaryKay is a "bad pet owner." I think that she is a "good pet owner." I think that her problem is the relationship between her husband and the puppys.

I'm not going to argue with you. I think MaryKay is just fine. I just feel sorry for her - and the situation that she is in. It must be hard having two little pups that have to "be turned off" when your husband comes home - so that he can watch TV and be comfortable and sleep all night. Lord knows that all little puppies drive most of us up the wall for a while...going through their puppy stage. But, this is also one of the most enjoyable times for most of us - in spite of the "problems" and "extra work" they cause.

They are so cute and such a challenge when they are little. All of us have lost sleep and cleaned up more than our fair share of pee and poop. But, fortunately, finally, they get older, and become better and easier to manage.

I am not saying this to critize anyone - but, if my husband felt that way about a little puppy - I don't think I would have gotten a second one. I would have had my hands full trying to keep everyone happy with just one.

I think MaryKay loves her little pups. She is just having a hard time and doesn't know what to do because her husband doesn't share her affection for them.

Again - I am not critizing MaryKay at all. I feel sorry for her and the situation she is in.

And - yes, of course, I took good care of my husband and wanted him to enjoy life and be comfortable....as he did me. We had several pets and went through a lot (together) with all of them. And, there were some that drove me crazy and vice versa. But - that's life! They were always a part of our family, and we took good care of them and enjoyed them all. Looking back, sometimes the ones that drove us the most crazy were the ones that we loved most of all...

Instead of caring about my opinion (which is just one off-the-wall opinion and not that important) - what do you advise MaryKay to do?

I, personally, don't know what she should do - other than have a heart-to-heart talk with her husband and make a decision together about raising these two little puppies. Optimally, it should be enjoyable for both of them...not just one of them. And, I'm afraid, at this point, it isn't even enjoyable for MaryKay. This is unfortunate - don't you agree?
