When she was smaller, I always put a limit on her play time because she would never just get tired and stop. We never had a hypoglycemic problem but I had heard so much about it, I was scared to tire her out.

Even at 8 months, you still have to put her in the x pen or crate to rest. She won't stop playing until you just flat ignore her.

She will be going in to get spayed next week ( and I am SO nervous for both of us) and I have heard that will calm her down some. Any opinions on that??

her and Brownie would LOVE each other the only way to get brownie to stop is to pick up all the toys he just keeps going

i personally think it does there hormones are charging threw them give it a few weeks after i think she will calm down
but i also have boys so its alittle different
good luck

kizzy is over 10 lbs, and maggie is little over 4 and she plays really rough with kizzy but she is such a cuddle butt with us. they really go round and round playing tug of war and sometimes maggie wins. sometimes she gets kizzy totally on her back biting her till kizzy gets up and walks away from her. Of course I know kizzy could hurt her if she really wanted to but she dont.

Rocky is only 6lbs and he is a lot tougher than I thought he would be.

Well, I was concerned that spaying might change Abbie's outgoing personality;but, if anything....she's MORE playful, now! LOL When she's determined to play, she will NOT be ignored. And, at 6lbs, she seems cautious of nothing. She'll jump in the face of and poke Mozart, who is almost 5 times her size.

I hear ya! It's not easy to smuggle a 15lb yorkie anywhere! Chewie takes all I have just lifting him up where I want him! Thankfully he jumps up and gets around real good for a big boy. I don't know how I would have faired with a smaller one?

Stedman is 4 lbs although he THINKS he is a dang German Sheppard

He LOVES to play rough - so rough that sometimes we actually have to pick him up and calm his little butt down because he gets a little too excited and we are sometimes afraid that he may end up hurting himself.

We do play "rough" tug of war with him though - he YANKS and YANKS at his toys and shakes his head from side to side like nobodies business lol - and he does his little "growl" like he is some big macho thing

It is actually pretty funny

He also hauls butt through the backyard with the other 2 dogs who are much bigger than him I might add....he THINKS he is alot bigger than he is

P.S.- He is a cuddler too!

Rough play is different for everybody, I guess. When I had my German Shepardm rough play was rolling on the floor with her and wrestling... Imagine doing that with tiny Yorkie

LOL, but I can play wrestle with using my hand, and he loves it. Esp Daddy is good at it, he pushes Pepper away and pretends his hand is a snake, Pepper goes crazy and always comes back for more... That's so much of a 'rough play' for a 4 punder

Amber_lv · 12-14-2006, 08:35 AM

well Peeka is 4.3 lbs (doesn't look bigger than 3 lbs lol

) but i don't think he is a purebred he is part pit bull, part cat and part rotweiller lol this dog is the toughest thing i have ever seen he will jump off, on, or into anything he loves to get ruff and tuff he plays with his litter brother Boo and they get going on my moms kitchen floor it's hilarious they chase each other and go sliding across the floor or the jump at each other and land smack on their heads

i always freak but before i can grab him to see if he's OK he's taking off again. vi do get nervous but then i see what a ball of fire he is. If i lay down anywhere he is going crazy running around me trying to play jumping on me it's great but on the other hand he is the biggest cuddler to

We play rough because that is how Buddy seems to like it. He won't let me baby him at all. I try. He is all male and at 13lbs he's no tiny. I worry about his legs jumping on and off the bed. My bed is exceptionally high and he has no problem getting on and off. He does hurdles off all the furniture and runs like the wind through the house. So much for a little delicate Yorkie
