what can i DO? - Page 9 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

MARYKAY...AFTER your puppy gets used to your routines...and grows up and matures a little - this will calm down....

I love watching my girls play like that and remember the 2 am mornings - I loved them...but there were a few times I really just wanted to sleep.....NOW...My girls go to bed exactly when I do...they wake up when I wake up. It's all centered around MY routine but they weren't like that as puppies....ENJOY IT !! when they hit about 6 months things will really calm down - your other yorkie is just probably having fun with the new one....

I sure would love another puppy in the house and watching them play is better than tv

Give them time - I bet they end up being best friends...

red98vett · 03-24-2006, 04:48 PM

MARYKEY...so you don't get the wrong impression....people WERE Trying to help you.....

I do feel bad for you...I feel bad for Big Guy...I feel bad for Little Guy....I just don't feel bad for MARRIED GUY.....

Maybe the tv comment wasn't what you were really meaning to say? You have to realize...there are BIG dog lovers here...we tend to stick up for them and sometimes can sound harsher than we mean to be

catnayl · 03-24-2006, 07:26 PM

MaryKay,I was reading all the posts and wondering if I should respond,so here goes.I have 3 doggies ;one is 5 doxie next one is 9 mos yorky and the youngest is 5mos scottie.We had never had 2 pups this close in age before until now. The puppies enjoy the wrestling and this seems to be the way they like to play by rolling around with each other.They do not do it as much as they used to but I think with age they seem to have calmed down a little.I personally am glad they like to play with each other so much because at this age it gives them a chance to grow up together and go through all the phases of their lives together.In the beginning it was a little hard with going out during the nite but we all got thru that phase also and we now have normal bedtime hours.Time and patience will pay off in big dividends with the joy your pups can bring you .Its priceless.Cathy and Yoshi

i have 3 dogs 4 years 2 years and 10 months my 4 year old is more rowdy half the time then the babies you dogs are puppies and there prob bored they dont care if you wanna watch tv yorkies want all your time you should have gotten a different breed or older (5 yrs) dog then
it seems like you just went out and got dogs
you should have found the big one a home before you got the little one

I am sitting her laughing all by myself, at my computer and my family thinks I'm nuts! This has all been pretty entertaining.

Marykay, I would love to see some pics of all three.

bchgirl · 03-24-2006, 08:50 PM

One suggestion....fish...they do not get too big, play rough, hurt each other...unless you get the fighting kind, make noise and who knows if they get up at all hours of the night

I think you may have forgotten puppiness....what you descibe is puppy behavior.......
At this point reading all the posts, I hope you find big pup a forever home...btw, baby's gonna show some of this puppiness too....she may need a new home also.
PS Fish don't potty on the floor either

Having 4 yorkies now age from 3 years to 6 months, there is never a dull moment in the house. Size doesn't matter here, Polly is a little over a year old and weighs less then 3lbs and she rules the house. Maddie is 3 years old and Rudy is 2 years old and the weigh 9lb and 7lb and have never hurt Polly. Sprout has been with us for a week and is 6 months old and weighs in at 2lb 2oz and acts like he has been here for ever. Been lucky all mine get along. Long story short is size shouldn't be that big of a thing, there are plenty of members that have other breed of dogs that are a lot bigger than a yorkie and they get along and don't get hurt. Sound like your furbaby deserves to be place in a home were he can have unconditional love. Furbabies are like children you teach the older and bigger kids how to play with the new baby.

londonteatime · 03-24-2006, 10:23 PM

Mary Kay,
If Tike and the older dog (Is it Benji?) weren't getting along, why on Earth did you go out and get another puppy? That just made a difficult situation even worse!

It seems like you and your husband are blaming Tike for everything so maybe you really should consider finding him a new home. Puppies have feelings and they know when they're not loved or appreciated so he might be acting out of frustration, too. Taking up for the new puppy all of the time is going to make the other two resent the newcomer even more. PLEASE find a new home for one of the puppies.

If you won't do that, all I can offer is the old saying "a tired puppy is a good puppy." If you play with them, keep them engaged with lots of toys, and make sure they get exercise they will be too tired to fight.

Tell your husband that playing with puppies is a lot more fun than anything on TV!

I'm not sure anyone asking ?? of MaryKay is going to get the answers they want. I'm thinking at this point she knows what she did to get herself into this situation and feels badly. Let's not question why she did it. I'm confident she's figured out her mistakes and hopefully will learn from them. I think you should find a permanent forever home for the "big guy" MaryKay and be done with it. Advertise in your local paper and please offer him at a reasonable price. Screen your potential buyers carefully and place him in a home that your heart tells you is the right place for him. God Bless MaryKay and I'm confident that if you place this "big guy" in a great home his life will be grand!! Hope this helps...

snickers mom · 03-25-2006, 09:01 AM

and just for the record i usually just read and stay out of the controversial threads but here goes...
i have been reading ur posts for awhile (marykay) and i have to say when you found that the yorkie you got was going to be a bit bigger than expected and that you were thinking of getting rid of him in favor of gettin a smaller puppy i have to admit i was saddenned...but remained silent
and then when you came on about the kennel cough i felt bad for the tough times ur puppy/puppies must be having and i went through the kennel cough thing so i could relate... but then you added a newer littler yorkie to the pic... i didnt get that .... but didnt say anything
then in a few more posts it appeared like you seriously favor the new tiny baby... and thats sad for the others... but didnt want to be judgemental in a situation i know nothing about and arent in...
but now... they bother you when ur trying to watch tv so maybe get rid of them
c'mon now... if you cant love and give them the attn then plse find someone that will and that will be the right thing to do... i wouldn't want to convince u to keep a puppy you dont seem to want or want to deal with...
i can tell you this... snickers came from a petstore and i learned my lesson from that...she is sick and has been for awhile but we will work thru it and take care of her as she deserves... she will most def be bigger than i expected or was told...but i love her.... and finally she can be nippy and TOTALLY wild... but we work around that and with her

good luck to you and i mean it but please do whats right but your pups - even if it means giving them away to someone who will love them even when they play during americas next top model

whoops i mistyped i didnt go thru the kennel cough thing i meant to say i have been thru the sick puppy thing... just wanted to correct myself

snickers mom · 03-25-2006, 09:25 AM

would a puppy class help at all? i wouldnt want just say all that and not offer a possible solution... but if you really can't work it out take the time and find them a really good PERMANANT home if possible - by doing that you would be doing ur furbabies a service by caring about who and where they go

Baby Blessing · 03-26-2006, 02:41 PM

Hi Marykay, I have tried to understand the post here but am really confused, as to what exactly you are saying. How many dogs do you have, are they all yorkies? Males or females? What are the ages of them? I did read where one of the puppies had to see a vet (if I were not totally satisfied with a vets diagnosis I definately would take my dog to another vet for second opinion.) Having any pet should be a wonderful experience and shouldn't cause turmoil in any home. I hope you will post back from my posting here so that maybe I can understand, and I know others here would like to help you too, I tried to read further in the postings here but the more I read the more confused I got so that is why I started out asking questions. This is really a wonderful site and I know you will benefit greatly from others opinions, please post back exactly what you were asking or saying, many here do care and am sure they want to help you and many are experienced with having more than one dog. I could read the frustration in one of your posts, which led me to post here. It is so important to socialize a dog with others and also PATIENCE is the key word in getting an having any pet, I found recently first I needed to train myself then work on training my new puppy, the first thing I had to learn was PATIENCE. I think this might be a good place to start for you and your hubby and go forth from there. I hope you will not take my post wrong in any way, cause I truely know others here are very caring and I myself am also.

Hello. I just finished talking to marykae via pm's. And I found out what the problem is. She used to have a small breed dog before..a westie i think. And anyway she got a dog that was a little bit bigger than him and she almost lost him. The dog bullied her westie to the point of not even letting him eat. When she found out the pups size it scared her exspecially because he was bullying the pup and adult dog. THis is a fear thing more than anything. As far as getting the pup she found him and couldn't resist..even if it wasn't the best thing..her heart over road her brain. She is really nice and is trying to do what's best. I think we should help her and befriend her..not that i'm telling u to but I am going to..I told her that there are alot of nice people on here and to come back and give us another chance..
