Does your Yorkie play with rocks? This may sound a little funny, but our Yorkie (Mia) loves to play with rocks. One day while working in the yard, God forbid I through a rock. Well, in no time Mia was back with that rock. She dropped the rock next to me, looked at the rock, looked at me, looked at the rock, looked at me again so I would throw it. Ever since, she wants to go outside to play with rocks. She doesn't chew on them, she just wants me to throw them so she can go fetch. Sometimes, she won't even bring it back, she'll want me to throw another rock. I mean this girl has all the toys in the world (and believe you me, she has ALOT of toys), but yet she choses to play with rocks. But I will not permit her to bring rocks in the house. I was worried about her teeth in the beginning cuz I didn't know what she was doing with the rock, but she just holds it in her mouth. :confused: |
Trace likes to carry rocks too.....and leaves, sticks, those helicopter things off the trees, gum balls, mulch. flowers.....seems I am constantly taking something out of his mouth :p |
Bentley always has something in his mouth. And what gets me is he knows he's not supposed to. He well look at me while he is picking it up and then when i head towards him to take it out he runs away and will turn around to see if i'm following. I don't mind the game but do not like it with such small objects that he could choke on. |
My dogs don't eat anything they're not supposed to - unless you don't think dogs should chew on chairs, walls, floors, socks, underwear, cigarette butts off the street, gum off the street, rocks, grass, their leashes, each other, my feet, my boyfriend's feet, strangers' feet, each other's feet, shoes, blankets, cabinets, tissues (used & new), toilet paper (only new - not used thank GOD), wrappers, paper, important documents, clothes, zippers, buttons, collars, ears, and garbage. Other than that they don't put anything in their mouths that they're not supposed to! |
Biddy's Mom, that's toooo funny. When Mia was younger, she was obsessed with kleenex and paper towels. As soon as I would drop a kleenex, she was right there to pick it up or If I would try to wipe something off the floor, she would chase the paper towel. But now at 3 years old, she doesn't put anything in her mouth except her toys...and now rocks. We taught her the words "touche pas" which means don't touch in french. So now every time we go for a walk and there's some garbage on the ground, I just have to say "touche pas" and she won't touch it. Alot of training went into that dog! We're thinking of buying another Yorkie, but when I think of all the training involved again, it's really time consuming. But then I see all you guys' pics of your pups and then I'm all for another one again. I think Mia is bored during the day and I want her to have a friend to play with. :) |

It seems so much nicer to yell at them in french! LOL |
Biddy's Mom Ha ha :D , I might have forgotten to mention that my first language is french :) It's funny cuz when I bring Mia to the groomer (I call her the "hairdresser"), she has to use french words with Mia even though she speaks english. Mia won't understand english words. |
That's great - I wish my dogs were bilingual! |
Kinda off the topic...but Maximus eats so fast his belly keeps filling up with gas so the vet suggested getting the biggets rock I could find, clean it and put it in his food bowl that way he is forced to eat around the rock and slow down and not take as much air in....sound crazy????...lol |

Wow - maybe I should start putting a rock in my boyfriend dinner plate?? LOL |
Speaking of eating fast, Mia sometimes eats too fast then makes a funny sound (kind of like a burp, but not really), but then continues eating. This happens everytime she eats. Even when she drinks water, I don't know if she drinks too fast or what, but she'll sometimes throw up the water after she's done or sometimes it looks like one big gag, but nothing will come out. Is this normal? She's been doing this for quite some time now. |
Biddy sounds like she's choking everytime she drinks water. She like coughs afterward. I think it's because she drinks too fast. It's weird... |

Well that's a big relief to hear Mia's not the only one that does that. But she does drink ALOT of water at once!! Poor thing. |
