Kemper · 05-10-2005, 08:25 AM

I am new to this site/board. I have two dogs and getting my third on Thursday. Davis is my Yorkie-poo and is the best animal in the world. Kemper is my big 12lb Yorkie. I got him at 16 weeks and he has issues, but is my love. He is a grumpy ol' man. Both are 4 years and goin' strong. My third is 9wks . I've known him since conception! We were hoping for a girl, but guess it wasn't in the cards. My two boys have been goin' to see him once a week for his lifetime. Hopefully this will avoid any new issues. I brought a new kennel with a lamb cuddly over. This way Mom and babe will have their scent all over it, and the transition will be smooth. Mom (Cinnamon) jumped right in and lil MacGregor followed .

I'm too excited for our new baby, and feeling like Thursday will never come. Has anyone used Belly bands for potty training?

Hi & welcome to YT. You will love it here - great people, great stories, great pics & great info!!!! Can't wait to see pictures of Davis, Kemper & lil MacGregor! I agree with Peanut's Mommy - GET SOME SLEEP - but who can sleep with a new puppy coming!

I know the feeling - we are going on a three hour drive tomorrow to get our Yorktese (11 weeks) to raise with our Kodah (turning 16 weeks)! Now that we have Kodah sleeping thru the nites, I guess we will start over!!

BE SURE & POST YOUR PICS!

Welcome to YT Kemper, Davis and Little MacGregor. Looking forward to see pics of your trio.

Hi all,

Thank you for your warm welcome. MacGregor has arrived and is already causing terror. Actually he has been a doll. I made sure a kennel was at the breeders and mom and he spent the night in it. I'd also had given him a lovey (that may be microwaved to warm) when he was born, so there are plenty of comforting scents and familiar surroundings. MacGregor slept all through the night with out any incidents! He loves his "den" and by placing some dirty laundry (mine, and my girls) in there as well, he is one happy and secure lil' guy. He goes potty outside when asked to go, and has been using the piddle pads.

MacGregor has got quite a personality. He called out my 12lb. boy, Kemper immediately. Kemper didn't want to make eye contact and turned his back on him. Davis my lover, was welcoming and excited. He still finds him to be an oddity. MacGregor def. has found his voice. He growls and barks quite often. He has two speeds..high and low, no idle!

The vet has given him a stamp of approval and gave me the third dog warning lol. I'm actually pretty strict with him and he is finally responding. He reeeeally is teething and wants to chomp everything, even faces. I have the wee one belled and it is fantastic to know where he is , even in the kennel. It helps me to know if he's getting restless and has to go potty!

He's had a bath and loves being in the tub with me! If he's a water lover I'll be ecstatic. I've taken him everywhere and he is being held and loved by many. Socialization is going well. I took him to weight watchers and he was the hit of the meeting, also the envy 2lbs 4oz was quite a goal. ;D My tennis team has been following the MacGregor story (photo's) and finally got to meet him yesterday at practice. Noone had seen such a small guy before! He charmed all the gals. Obviously I'm thrilled to have a new member of the family and will sign off before I bore you all to tears!
