| Lola is the "social butterfly" wherever she is. She LOVES dogs, all shapes and sizes, she's not afraid of anydog. She'll put her hands up and start doing the happy hop. Even if the dog is humongous and doesn't really care for her She loves small dogs too, the only time I saw her a little disinterested was when a peckingese KEPT ON licking her. Like OVER AND OVER. She lost interest in that one fast... but other than that she loves all dogs, loves kids and just everyone in general. But it helped that I socialized her from day 1. I had my friends over almost every day (different groups). Taking her to work helped too!! |

| Update I saw my Neighbor this past Friday Night, for my evening visit. Her poor Husband had to stay in their House to keep them quiet! Her 2 Females were going crazy again.......I had asked her if she had considered my Invitation to "Walk" her wild Tornado's w/me and my 2? She replied she was going to buy a "Stoller" so they wouldn't have to touch the ground or get dirty! So no one would touch them either! Does this sound foreign to any one else, or is it just me? |

| I try to take Starsky and Shylah to the park at every Lacrosse game my daughter plays. There are so many parks in my neighborhood that don't allow dogs though. I also take them to Petsmart whenever I go. I also belong to a Denver yorkie playgroup and we try to do something once a month. My family gets mad at me sometimes when I say I am taking them somewhere but I say it is good to socialize them. Here's proof. I went into Sears this weekend and saw a couple holding a cute yorkie. I went right up to it and asked if I could pet her. I let her smell my fingers first and went to pet her head and she about bit my hand off!! She definitley was not socialized. I think dog training is good too. I have to get Shylah signed up for that. Already did it with Starsky.

| Maggie's never been around other dogs/animals, except for the stray cats in my parents yard but she doesn't get close to them. She's "ok" around other people (outside of her clique of me, my hubby, my mom & dad). It just takes her awhile to get warmed up to new people. She's potty trained on potty pads, but gets taken outside for walks & playtime in the yard. |

| Need to Vent again! I know it's none of my Business, but it bothers me! My next door neighbor and Landlord has a House Guest with the cutest female "s**tzu" named Pebbles. Every time he comes to visit he brings her, he claims she was "Abused" by her previous owners by being kept chained outside for 2 yrs. straight without any human or dog contact. Put bluntly she is NOT "Socialized" at all! In my eyes and opinion he is the one that has the Problem and he's just making it worse? Why wouldn't you want your dog to be healthy and balanced? It just irritates me that my 3 Yorkies have to tippy toe around his precious so called traumatized baby, that is now 5 yrs. old. My 3 are only acting normal/natural by smelling/approaching her. He has been visiting for about a week at a time and it's about their 3rd visit, so my dogs know who she is, but "He" is the one that acts "Traumatized" every time she is even near a dog, not just my dogs! What is his problem why can't he move on.......so his dog can move on? He's treating her like she is not capable of being a dog? Did I mention he's 75 yrs. old? I guess you can't teach an old man "New Tricks"? What should I do? I see them at least 3 times a day and it's hard to keep biting my tongue, I'm dying to say something, anything it's killing me! He expects me to keep reprimanding my dogs as if they're the one's with the problem? I keep telling myself that they are "Guests" and they will be gone soon, but what about the next time they visit? Sorry this is so long, I had to get it out of my system. |

| I have to admit that I didnt follow the "rules" about not taking your pup out until they are fully vacinated... We took our baby out EVERY WHERE when we first got her and Now people are amazed at how social she is. She goes to the dog park everyday and loves going up to each and every dog to give them kisses aand play. She also MUST go up to each person (in the dog park) and say hello. She likes to bring her ball to strangeers and drop it at there feet asking them to play fetch with her. People just freak out over how cute and friendly she is, they are amazed that a dog so little (less than 2 lbs) can be absolutely fearless when it comes to humans and other dogs... =) Im glad I took her out as a pup even though I was "breaking the rules" |

| Seth and Sasha are at the EMS Building 4 days a week, EMT's, Firefighters, the public, I feel the are very socialized. But when we go to someone's house they can be little terrors They really do let us know when they want to go home. I was bad too I took Seth out before all of his shots. Thank God they have both survived things I have done that I should not have done.

| My boys LOVE people. They sit on the back of the couch or chair and put their front legs on people's shoulders. They are only around 2 other dogs face to face. These are dogs of my friends that I keep when they travel. They have know them both since they were puppies. I'm not sure how they would do around dogs they don't know. They'd probably be fine if the other dog was.

| Mine Love other Ppl and animals. They will bark until you "Finally" approach them and pet them. They think "EVERYONE" is suppose to pet them and just think they are all that and then some... LOL Mine dont require to have to get use to anyone or any animal. They are ready to suck up on the attention or Play. They are all full grown and has always been like this. But, I do take them with me a lot and lots of walks of course. I feel so bad that her 2 yorkies cannot play in the Yard. Wow, ours Love, Love, Love to run and play in our yard.

| Conner is 15 months old. He loves playing with children in the neighborhood when we go for our walks. He is sad if he passes someone and they don't say something to him (he thinks he is so cute)!! He loves other dogs and also loves having people come to his house. He has been a social butterfly since I got him at 11 weeks.

| Jeanie is very socialized, and our puppy class instructor even said for a "yorkie" she was extremely lacking in little dog syndrome. So I'm proud of my little girl I couldn't imagine having the dog in the house all the time, but I do keep my cat inside at all times. But you can't walk a cat.......so that's why. Well I guess some do - I just never have. Anyway, I try to let her sniff/play with other dogs, just very careful around the big ones |
