Yorkie sitting!!!!!
 

We have a visitor for the week!!!! Luigi is sooo excited!! But still not too sure bout Mylo!!! He is 1 1/2 yr old and such a cutie!!! His mommy & daddy just left about an hour ago and he keeps looking all over the place for them!!! I guess this is my test to see if I can handle 2!!! I just got done taking them outside. That was quite an adventure!!!! I don't have fenced in yard so I have to take them both out on the leash!! They got all tangled up!!! They do get along great except that Luigi wants to play soo much and Mylo doesn't like to be bothered too much!!!! Mylo's not a puppy like Luigi!!!

If anyone has any suggestions-- it would be truely appreciated!!!

Thanks!!!
:animal-sm Mandy & Luigi & Mylo :animal-sm

Don't have much advise, but do try to take some pic's to share...Sounds like you are keeping pretty busy, LOL!!

What an adventure huh? I have multiple pets and it's always an adventure around here! :p

Oh boy!!! Its been sooo crazy!!! Mylo does NOT listen for anything!!! :eek: And Luigi does. So when I have to "yell" at Mylo, Luigi thinks I am yelling at him. I can't get Mylo to stop barking!! Luigi doesn't bark and now he's starting to. Mylo has peepeed once already on my carpet. :eek: I hope he doesn't make this a habit! :rolleyes: They don't eat the same food snd they want what the other has. Poor Luig, we usually go back to bed after Daddy leaves for work and THAT hasn't happened. Mylo gets up on the bed with us but he will not sit still! :eek: He was getting into everything. I know my friend told he doesn't listen, but I didn't realize he didn't listen at all. I don't mean to brag, but Luigi listens to everything. He is such a good boy!! Mylo got up on my night stand and knocked over my lamp. :eek: And we have only been up for 3 hours!!! Now he's going crazy by the window!!I have shut the blinds and he gets up underneath them!! Luigi now won't even get up off my lap. He knows I am getting frustrated!!! What did I get myself into????? :confused: :confused: He fights me putting his leash on to go outside!!! :eek: HELP!!!

So sorry- But I had to vent!!! :eek:

First, welcome!! And second, isn't it something how our mouth is in gear before out brain leaves "park"? I have done the same thing myself only I have several dogs of my own so it was a panic a minute. Mylo sounds like he is not only spoiled but allowed to mis-behave at hoe. I tell people ya gotta train the critters. REMEMBER ALTHOUGH WE CONSIDER THEM OUR CHILDREN, TO OTHERS AND IN REALITY THEY ARE DOGS. And dogs need to be trained..
Unfortunately, you are not gonna be able to train him so do what you have to do to get thru the week. And, whatever you do---DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR AND THROW HIM OUT TO HIS MOM WHEN SHE COMES TO PICK HIM UP! LOL..You have your work cut out for you and you will survive but your own baby is gonna go thru pure-D hell while he is there. He will forgive you though as soon as Mylo leaves the premises..
Take pics and good luck..

Thanks for the encouragement!!!!
He just poopooed all over again!!! I am sure his nerves are going and he is missing his mommy & daddy!!!! I now have him gated off in the kitchen and he doesn't like it.

Well here are some pix!!!
Luigi is the small one on the left and Mylo is the bigger boy on the right.
Luigi is 6 monthes old and Mylo is over 1 1/2 now!!!! :animal-sm

Goodness sakes...and you have a whole week of this? Yikes! I guess gating him is what I would do in your situation. I sure hope for your sake, and Luigi's, that Mylo calms down and gives you a break! Good Luck!

Mylo hasn't calmed down a whole lot yet. :eek:
But I did get to leave for a while and you would have thought I was trying to murder both dogs the way they were screaming and barking and carrying on. Luigi has never given me a hard time bout putting him in his crate. :rolleyes: But both were screaming so loud that those of you near Ohio pribly heard them! :eek:

But when my hubby came home, they were both sound asleep in their crates!!! So here we go again!!

:animal-sm Mandy & Luigi & Mylo :animal-sm

I am so sorry but i am sitting here laughing so hard tears are rolling down my face. :eek: This has movie potential ! 3 men and a baby scoot over!!!

You're soooo funny!!!
Its not funny now but maybe next week, I will be able to laugh about it!!! :) :) :)
They are just like kidsw!! If one has atoy, the other wants that one and vice versa!!!
I don't know about getting Luig a baby brother or sister!?! :rolleyes:
:lol tears :lol tears :lol tears

Don't worry, my time is coming..this upcoming weekend we are doggie-sitting Scrappy, my in-laws' Yorkie (and my my screenname-sake)...He never wants anything to do with Ruby and she wants to play with him so badly!! They don't really fight, but do want the same toys, bones, etc....also, Scrappy is free fed, and Ruby is fed twice a day, so she always tries to sneak over and eat his food...He is alos guilty of teaching her to bark at outside noises..I hate when they get each other going!! :D I'm sure I'll be posting new stories and pics by Monday...

Yappy Scrappy--- I can't wait to hear your stories!! Hopefully it goes better for you!!


:animal-sm Mandy & Luigi & Mylo too :animal-sm

You poor thing, no advice but I really hope your week goes by quickly...

Day 2--Still barking and going crazy! Poopooed all over again!!
But last night, I got him to snuggle with me and Luigi!!!
I think Luig has had enough and ready for Mylo to go home!! hahaha :p
Mylo keeps looking out the window for mommy & daddy!!!













Mandy & Luigi & Mylo!!!!! :animal-sm :animal-sm :animal-sm

Congratulations on making it this far!!! Mylo doesn't look like a "bad" boy!! he looks so sweet and innocent! Don't they all. This experience has already mad you realize how smart and well behaved Luigi is and that's a good thing.

You're starting to make me nervous. :) I'm watching my sister's Maltese in May for a week. He is only a month older than Gus. Yikes.
They look great together in the pictures. I hope it gets easier for you. If your luck is like mine it will probably be on the last day. :p

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.

Mylo DID try to eat my food tonight :eek: He jumped up onto the counter where I had my dish sitting. 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!! :eek:

:animal-sm Mandy & Luigi & Mylo :animal-sm

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

:animal-sm 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. :animal-sm

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?????????? :confused: :confused:

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!! :D

Cute pics, by the way!! :D

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!!!!

PS Good luck!

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) :eek: 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 :mad: ! 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!!!
