Have you ever stepped on your furbaby? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

JillandJack · 05-01-2006, 03:08 PM

OMG, i feel so bad this afternoon.

I was working at the stove and didn't realize that Jill had awakened from her nap. When I stepped to the left I heard a blood curdling cry. I had stepped on her paw. I picked her up right away and told her how sorry I was. She seemed to understand because she gave me kisses. When I scooted her outside she was limping a little but by the time she was ready to come inside, she shot through the door as if it didn't happen. Lesson learned. Keep the door to the expen closed when she is in there sleeping. I know she will let me know when she wakes up!

Have any of you ever stepped on your furbaby?

All the time they now have bells on ALL of there collars and we do the puppy shuffel I told the girls and my hubby no lifting the feet unless ALL furbabies are outside......

Yes, many times. These little ones always seem to be under your feet. Thank god they have never been hurt, I just have to remember to do the yorkie shuffle around them, lol.

One of the worst thing I've done is close the door on Daisy May pretty hard, I felt awful.

Yep me 2...my older one has a bell on, but the baby...i cant get a collar to fit :-) even the cats are too big ..

Yorkie3 · 05-01-2006, 03:19 PM

Yes, I almost think it hurts our hearts more than their tiny feet. Usually only takes once or twice and they stay clear of the feet. We too, at our house do the Yorkie shuffle.

Oh yeah, But I now tell Tigger " Move, Move Move" and he gets the hint.

I always think I'm going to have some great advice for someone and then someone else beats me to it!! I used a ferret collar on my last little yorkie and it worked great.

Until I got on YT, I thought that I was the only one that did the Yorkie Shuffle!! We also call it the "puppy scoot". It really doesn't take that long to learn it either. On or two steps on the little guys and you'll have it down in no time!!!

we do the yorkie shuffle in our house too!

Dougal&Little · 05-02-2006, 01:26 AM

But Dougal's such a drama queen. If we accidently stand on him he crys and crys and limps up to me. Then I pick him up and give him a cuddle and when I put him down he's off again at warp factor nine. Not a single hint of a limp! The bell is a good idea, but I think poor old dougal'd feel very unmanly with a bell going tinkle tinkle !

Jaspermom · 05-02-2006, 03:14 AM

They have both learned that being stepped on is not a good experience! I see them watch our feet and they move themselves out of our way like they have some kind of forcefield around them or something!
