| I used to babysit Otis's little brother all the time, and I understand your frustration that Mylos' parents don't handle their dog in the same manner you would. (BTW, I hope Mylos' parents don't log on to YorkieTalkand read this!) One thing you might want to invest in is a "coupler." You can find one at the pet store. It makes walking two dogs sooo much easier, and it's not expensive. Here's a pix of the coupler. |

| Miezzi, This reminds me of the first couple of months when we got Ahia. I thought i had made a mistake in the purchase of her. she was too much for me to handle. and now that time has passes., my nerves are settled., Ahia has grown up and behaving a little bit better, i don't know what i would do without her. she is so loving now. and if i am paying attention to Buckeye she jumps up ther right in front of my face. The week will go fast for you as long as they are not eating your food and you are not eating their food. by the end of the week you will be wanting to volumteer for another week.

I turned around to the fridge to get something to drink and there he goes!!!! 1st I can't believe he jumped up that high, 2nd he ruined my din din-- so Mandy is not a happy camper!!! Mylo's mommy & daddy know that he is a bad boy!! He doesn't listen to them either!! Mandy & Luigi & Mylo |

| Mylo sounds like those bratty kids on Desperate Housewives, the ones that don't get punished. |

| Yes- I know!! But its not my place to punish Mylo! I made sure he knew I was very upset with him but... he's not my baby. Luigi just stands there looking at Mylo like-" Even I know not do that. I am a good boy" Not much I can do. |

| I do have a question though about his food. He is on Kibble and Bits and bits. The 1st ingredient is corn and the others to follow are by products! I know that corn really isn't good for them- what do you think of that product? He doesn't really like it, he would rather eat Luigi's food which is Nutro natural ultra for puppy. Do you think it will hurt him if I put a little nutro in his dish. I put like 5 bits in there and he ate those sooo quick. And then wouldn't eat his own. What do u think?????????? |

| Are you getting use to Mylo? I'm sure it is an adjustment. But I think you are doing a good job handling it. Corn is hard to digest. That is why you should avoid giving your dog whole corn kernnels or corn cobs to chew on. A lot of the cheaper dog food like Kibble and bits use a lots of corn in their food because it is cheap filler. Soy is another cheap filler. However, since the corn is grounded up it is not as bad. It just doesn't digest and most of it come out of your dog as poop. It will not hurt him if he eats a little bit nutro. The reason why he won't eat his old food is because he is holding out for the new food. He is hoping he waits long enough they will get what they wants. |

| I'd be careful giving him Luigi's food. A couple week's back we had left Annie with a babysitter that has a yorkie as well. Annie is about 10 months and the babysitter dog is about a year and a half. Annie eats Nutro puppy food and the other yorkie eats another brand adult food. Well when the babysitter wasn't looking Annie got into the other dog's food and ate it all up. The rest of the weekend she gagging. And the first morning we had her back she was throwing up and had a very bloody stool. So I would be careful giving Mylo Luigi's food cause amazingly enough their little tummies are sensitive.... |

Unfortunately for us, there has been a change of plans, and we will not be getting Scrappy this weekend! However, he will be staying with us toward the end of May, but before then, we are going back for a visit at the beginning of May, so I will try to get some more pics of Ruby and Scrappy together then!!

| Day 3-- going much, much better except Mylo poopped all over my kitchen today. It was everywhere!!! YUCK!!!!!!!!!!! But he & Luigi are having a ball playing. Mommy & Daddy just called to see how everything was going. 3 more days til they come home. I know Mylo misses them soooo much. They are both being sooo good tonite. But Luigi gets so mad when Mylo goes anywhere near his food. Its soo funny. He lets out a little grrrrr when Mylo goes over to it!!! Its soooo funny!!! As much as I want to pull my hair out at times, I still want a brother or sister for Luig!!!! Mylo goes to relax and Luig the little instigator he is gets in Mylo's face like he's saying,"come on lets play-- chicken" and Mylo just turns his head. Then after he's had enough... well they go running in circles!!!! hahahahah!!!! Then they fight over the water dish even though I have 2 for them, they want the same one!!!! Mandy & Luigi & mylo |

| I wish you the best, no advice, but I really am enjoying story line. I have enough trouble jumping through hoops for Sydnee's entertainment, can't imagine 2 of them. My trouble is with my big dog being so jealous and everytime Sydnee gets near her she growls(plus sleeps with my son now because she won't sleep in the same bed with Sydnee) and of course the boys (my 2 cats-Danee and Elmo) play soccer with her (she's the ball) they just bat her back and forth; throw a 20 year old testosterone male in the mix and you have a mad house. Haven't a clue what I am going to do, maybe when she is older and not as hyper these old fuddie duddies will be nice to her. Any clues on how to make these non appreciative beings love my fur baby?

I have that same thing!! It works wonders when you have 2 little bundles of joy to walk! it was way better than trying to endlessly untangle two leashes.. when Ginger and Oreo would intertwine themselves in it while we walked lol. | |

| Day 4--- Going even better than yesterday, but still a little wild. Mylo had no accidents today!!! He did sooo good today, but my Luig went poopoo inside ! The 1st time since February. I can not believe it. I think he's getting a little jealous of Mylo. Mylo has been cuddling a bit more with Ray and myself. The 2 of them are even cuddling together on the couch!!! Soo cute!!! Yea!! Our friends come home tomarrow night real late, so not sure if they will pick hum up then or wait til Sat. I am thinking that I may be a little sad when Mylo leaves!!! I could write a book on everything that hass happened!! Yorkie sitting for Dummies!! Oh well. Its been an adventure!!! Mandy & Luig & Mylo |
